LESSON FOR APRIL 19.
COST OF DISCIPLESHIP.
L.KSSO.V TKXT-Uuko 14:25-33.
GOM)i:N Tn.Vr-"Whosoever woul.l
mivo IiIh llto slnll loro It: nml whosoever
Plmll lose hli life for my noko shall llnd
It." Matt. 30:23.
Whllo this dlscourso ia recorded
only by St. Lulte, Btlll thcro aro many
things mentioned hero to which our
Lord mado refcrenco on other occa
sions. Lnst Sunday's EaBtor lcsBon
made a brenk In the sequenco of los
nons wo hnvo been following, ana Bhnll
follow for several succeeding Sundays.
Leaving tho chief Pharisee's houso
whoreln ho criticized both host and
Kuests, "great multitudes" followed
our Lord. Turning, he uttered somo
of tho severest and yet tho most won
derful words that over foil from his
lips, as wo shall sec if wo follow all
of this part of our lesson series.'
Multitude Rebuked.
I. A Caution, v. 26. On another oc
casion, John C:2C, JeBUs rebuked the
multltudo which followed him. This
multitude who pressed about him did
not reallzo what was involved in a
true following. They were Influenced
by tho psychology of tho crowd, and
did not count tho cost. Jesus does not
mean that our dlscipleshlp will lessen
our lovo for our kin (Eph. 5:25, 28-31;
C:l-4), but as compared with our lovo
for him it is aversion. Seo Matt.
10:37; Phil. 3:7, 8; Ps. 73:25, 20. Aver
sion is to turn aside, and tho Master
lold us that those who shall turn aside
thus shall have an abundant roward,
see Mark 10:28-30. Jcsub Christ must
bo supremo in a Christaln's nffcctlons.
Ho who freely gave his own self (John
3:1G. Phil. 2:8) has a right to demand
a llko devotion to himself, and as
men have approached nearest tp such
a consecration ho has exalted them.
Tho Cross means tho shame, sorrow,
pain and death of self and all that lies
in tho pathway of loyalty and devo
tion to him. II Tim. 3:12, Acts 14:22.
II. A Challange, vv. 27-32. (1) The
Instruction, v. 27. As If to make this
caution moro solemn. Jesus sets bo-
foro tho multltudo tho .manner of his
approaching death and tho condition
of dlscipleshlp. Ho hero lays down
tho first declaration of tho sovero
terms of dlscipleshlp, but explains
the meaning of his words. Thero is a
now meaning of this passage sug
gested by tho Revised Version of v.
33, "so likowlso" is rendored, "so
thcreford." Our Lord does certainly
insist that thoso who build a tower or
conduct a war must count tho cost; so,
likewise, they who' follow him. But
by this change the opposite thought Is
suggested, viz., that those who follow
him must do so whatever the cost may
be. (2) The Illustrations, (a) Tho
builder of a tower, vv. 29, 30, and (b)
Tho King at war, vv. 31, 32. Too often
wo present to men what is to bo gained
by Christian dlscipleshlp. Tho gain
docs outweigh tho cost, but as wiso
builders wo must present tho cost side
of tho transaction.
Homely Illustration!.
III. The Conclusion, vv. 33-35. Wo
navo already Indicated the conclusion
towards which Jesus was leading with
terrific logic, and by looking back to
tho first verse of tho lesson we poo
what it was ho was seeking to Impress
upon tho minds of tho thoughtless
multitude. Again tho Master uses.
ono or those homely Illustrations
gathered from tho common experi
ences of lifo which ho employed so
frequently to amplify or to drlvo homo
. a great truth, Thcro must bo quality
as w,ell as devotion to this dlsciple
shlp. Salt preserves from .corruption,
seasons Insipidity, freshens and sweet
ens. Thcso qualities aro rcforred to
abundantly by Scriptural writers. Salt
Is highly prized In tho East. Tho(
natural man Is presented nlso as bo'
ing corrupt, Gen. 6:11; 8:21; Ps. 14:2,
3; Eph. 2:1-3. Tho remedy for this is
tho active prcsonco of his disciples
among their fellows. Tho truo dls-clplo-
is like salt with a good savor.
On tho other hand, salt that has lost
its savor Is not oven lit for a dung
hill, but Is thrown out and trodden un
der foot of men. So our Lord Bots
nsldo that dlsclplo of his who has lost
his usefulness. This expresses our
Lord's contempt nnd scorn of thoso
who lack, not merely a certain kind
of character, but thoso whoso profes
sion and appearance would Indicate a
better expectation.
This lesson presents tho soverlty
of tho claims of Jesus. Irresistibly ho
drow tho multitudes to himself. Wit
ness tho crowd following him as ho
leaves tho house of the ruler. But ho
;paused and by his teaching Bitted
them, and scomlngly mado it difficult
to follow him. i
What Is tho purpose of dlscipleshlp?
It means co-operation. The work of
the King is to build and to battle, so
the disciple must wield both sword
nnd trowel. Ho must set asldo bis in
terests and devoto himself and all of
his strength to tho work and tho war
faro. We must not, as has boon inti
mated, allow ourselves to Imagine
that theso sayings of Jesus conflict
with Ills tender words about tho homo
or of men coming to him for rest
(Matt 11:28-30). Tho ultlmato end of
dlsclpIeshlpB Is that tho surging rest
lessness of tho multitude shall Indeed
.find rest In him,
