BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON Sunday, April 24th By M. S. Brigrgs Golden Text: "There came a voice out of the cloud, 'This is my beloved Son, hear ye him." Mark 9:7. Christ's Glory Revealed Mountains have had much to do with the Bible story of the Holy lands. Away back at the time of the flood, the ark rested upon a moun tain, while the waters were aswaged and the dry land appeared. The wat ers even covered the very tops of the mountains when they were at their heights. It was in the mountains that the Master went to pray, while the disciples were rowing against the boistrous winds on the sea of Gallilee. It was between two mountains that jwhen he said, "Go ye therefore into all the world teaching the Kingdom again when he had run away because he was frightened by Jesebel, the most wicked of women and commun ed with Jehovah at Mount Sinai, the place where the law and the com mandments were delivered to Moses. i WIiat more fitting place could have been selected for the transfiguration than on the top of a mountain away from the sordid things of the world. The message was for the world but it was to be given to three specially I given in j due irne to the world that the glory known and also that it might be an added evidence that he was sent from high heaven with a message of love and mercy to a lost and dying world. When the transfiguration came with the taking away of the mortal and the immortal and divine portion of the Savior of mankind, there appear ed such a wonderful purity and di vinity about the scene, that the mor tal could not stand it. Peter, James and John, all three rugged fishermen, who had often braved the rigors of the sea of Gallilee in its most tem- pestous storms, were not able to stand the exceiency of the glory of their Master, when the glory was shown. There appeared wi Elijah, and Jesu; tbem Then in th him Moses and s communed with them. Then, in comparison with these great patriarchs, long called heme to heaven. Elijah to be carried to heaven without having tasted death, and Moses, the law giver, be ing taken from the mountain top and buried there, for No man knew his sepulchre, Nor no man saw it ere, fo For the Angels of God Upturned the sod. and laid the dead man there. Vi Tien compared with these two great men of the past, who had come from heaven on a special mission, the So'1 of God shone with exceeding brightness. Father Testified of Son Peter in this narrative tells of how a cloud overshadowed them and thev appeared as dead men. but were able to know of the conversation of Jesus with the two patriarchs. That the! world might know that indeed, Jesui tne Christ was the veritable son of a voice irom me i-atner canerj i out of the cloud saying in the lan-j ffiage of the Golden text. "This is m ueiovea son. near ye mm. Tlie most powerful testimony and coming frm the Father, saying. "This is my s00- hear ye him." At the baptism 01 Jesus, tne voice saia, "mis is my oeioven son, in wnom 1 am well pleas- led. The scriptures all testify that .Christ was indeed the very Son of Ood. John, the Baptist, testified to this when he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin3 r 1 .1 ,t rr t. 1 . . twell testifle(1 to the- people of Sychar, - OT, . .... y " guiu, a 1 v lulu z an 1 trci did; Is not this the very Christ?" Manha and wag b-ther b ? the boat that had been rocked hither and yon by the vy nd on the sea of Gallilee .likewise testified to his identity when I way said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Now comes the testimony of the Father, in the words and in the transfiguration, telling in the strongest possible way that Christ is his son. Again in the resurrection and the ascension to heaven of Christ, was it attested that Jesus Christ was and is the Son of God. The Master, in the form of a hu- man, then comes to the disciples and touching them made them conscious in an earthly sense that they were In deed mortals and said unto them, "Arise, be not afraid." Tells of His Crncif ction CfhrUt had hinted to the little'band of disciples even before this that he - 1 was to be crucified and rise again from the dead the third day, but as they descended from the mountain, he charged the three to tell no one of the great experience they had seen until after he had been raised from the dead. It will be remembered that Peter had told the Master that he who was the Son of God, could not be cruci fied by sinful men. and had been re buked for his putting another inter pretation on the plans of the Fath er. The experiences through which they had passed, made It plain that they should listen to the Master In all he said, and they refrained from makiner known what they had heard ...'and seen.. j They Wondered Themselves ! When with their knowledge of the scriptures, they had read that the Mesiah should come and again restore all things they had fondly believed that the meaning was thrt again the earthly kingdom of Israel should be. established and that Christ would be the earthly king rather than the spir itual king of spiritual Israel. With this idea in their minds they were ready to fight for that very kingdom and the establishment of it. With ; this in their minds they wondered among themselves and discussed just what this rising from the dead might ; mean. They had seen Christ bring! back to life Lazarus, and to the son J of the widow of Xaln. and recogniz ing in him this strange power could not understand how mortals could kill him, not knowing that it was a pre-conceived plan or that he would be able to rise again from the dead to provide for the salvation of the world. So they were naturally per plexed. Peter Tells Later of This Many years later when Peter and!.v nnv twf4 v-eeks a-ro. hrot cut rome even Paul were preaching and estab - lishing church organizations among those opposed to the work, Peter said, "For we did not follow cunningly de- vised fables, when we made known unto you the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ, but we were eye wit nesses of his majesty. For he receiv ed ot tne learner nonor ?na giory,; ue at,ie to repair engines rga;n v. .ion when there was borne such a voice j CVer thev have trouble. I.'rdrr :.r. to him by the majertic glory, "ThisiPi2n t-n3t" as been followed a county is my beloved son. in whom I am well ; extension agent signs un a M:m:-cr c ' pleased.' And this voice we our selves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount." Peter. James and John were nearer to the Master than the others, not be cause the Master was partial, but be cause they were willing to be closer. These three were honored by closer association, because they entered into the life for which the Master called them. In the after life, when the Master had been crucified, had arisen from the dead and had ascended to heaven, they carried the message of the be loved Master to the entire world. James was the first to suffer mar tyrdom and give his life for the cause of the Master. Peter, like the Mas ter, was crucified, but at the time he made refluent of his executioners that he be crucified with his head down ward, a3 he felt that he was not wor thy to meet death as did his Master, and hi3 request was granted and he was crucified with his head down ward. John lived to be the oldest of the disciples, though he was probably the youngest, unless it was Mark, the associate of Peter and for whom Peter caused a portion of the Gospel to be named, although he (Peter) undoubt edly had as much to do with writing it or possibly more, than did Mark, the younger apostle. Have 3-0U hear the call of Jesus Whisper, "I have chosen you ! " Does he tell you in com- munnion What he wishes you to do? Are you in the inner circle? Have you heard the Master's call? Have you given your life to Jesus? Is he now your all and all? OBSERVE ARBOR DAY never see young growing trees. Outlined acainst the r!:y ; But what I thing of marching men. Like armies passing by.
