from acute appendicitis, Leo Mur

"Jesus Declares His Purpose"
Luke 4:lG-30.
Every one that comes into this
world, is here for a purpose; i3 to
fill a' place in the great economy ot
God. Be the place of high rank or
low position. Each ia endowed with
God-givea talent to fill that place;
and it is for man to find hi3 place,
and prepare himself, perform his
part; that no one else can do for him.
Even the dresser cf sycamore trees,
like Amos, is needed; a poor, lonely
widow of Zarapath is needed to feed
a prophet. Esther came into a place
where she could be the means of sav
ing her nation; Rahab could be use
ful in saving two spies; lovely,
charming Ruth made a place for her
telf in history. So we find our Lord
Jesus Christ preparing himself for
his life's purpose, by diligent study,
and close application to know all
about his "Father's business."
His study and presence in the
house of God became a fixed habit;
hia early training bore rich fruit.
When ho finally took up his life's
work, he astonished hia hearers "who
wondered at the words of grace that
proceeded cut of his mouth." He had
thoroughly prepared himself for his
work so had John the Baptist and
Paul and Luther and Wesley and
Knox. Je3us did not take up his
work until he was ready. About a
year has passed since the event of
our last lesson. Luke omits the event
recorded by John 1:19 to 4:45. Both
Matthew (13:54-58) and Mark (C:
1:16) record visits to Nazareth, but', . , , ,,

cannot give up the companions cf his

youth and old friends; he will try
again that is a long suffering God's
way with man. So we find Jesu3 in
the synagogue, as his custom was on
the Sabbath, where all who profess;
4. , . . uiiiy nae reierence to tae year ox
consequence, never mentioned in the ; . J
Old Testament. It is here that our!jubllee ,(Lev' 2o:8-10). a type of the
Lord had lived for thirty years, first
as a son in the family of Joseph, the
carpenter, and then as a carpenter
himseif.
As Je&us wa3 vcll known and rec
ognized as a very proficient student
and regular attendant at public ser
vice, he is called on by some leader
to read the les3on for that day the
only time that wc arc told that Jesus
read. The reader stood, the teacher
eat. An attendant handed Jesus a i
scroll, which was the prophesy of jncver to return. So does God leave
Isaiah. The first lesson read wasaian to llis OWQ wa'-if ne wm not
from the law, the second from thejacceI)t God'3 wa-
prophets. Possibly Jesus read more
than the two verses. The great mo
ment has come, when Jesus declares
his purpose. He applies the scripture
read, to himself.

Jesus on the banks of Jordan; it is a

is interested, as the Father annoints
his Son for the special purpose of
fringing good news to the world, of
a Father's love for his children'; and
how the Father is plesaed that the
son so willingly assumes the task of
carrying out God's purpose cf recon
ciling the world to himself; and the
day came when Jesus could say, "It
is finished."
But, let us look at the glorious
gospel he is to proclaim. Never did
such gracious words fall on the ears
cf man before. "Good tidings to the
poor!" It does not mean poor in ma
terial things, although the great
number of God's children are found
among the poor, but the lowly, the
humble, the opposite of haughty,
proud to these "poor" are promised
the joj-s. happiness and riches and
glory of heaven (Mat. 5:3). No won
der "the common people heard him
gladly." (Mark 12:37). "Release to
the captives." This might be con
strued in Isaiah's time as meaning
the Jews in captivity, but it means
more than that. The unconverted is
a slave to vices and evil habits that
requires the power of the Almighty
I to break, to release from, to set free.
(John S:3G.) "To restore sight to
the blind." This i3 a prevalent dis
ease in Palestine. The cause: glaring
sun on white sand. It mean that, but
vastly more. To see the beauty and
glory of the wonders of this world
even, requires an inner illumination,
a clear vision ("Blessed are- th
