JUNlOll 'lOI'lC-Tt.u.-liliiK Courtesy. INTUILMHOtATt: AND JUNIOR TOPIC Otlicrs. YOUNG- PKOPLU AND ADULT TOPIC -Tho Spirit of Christian Service. I. Jesus Dines With a Pharisee (v. 1). Jesus enteied freely Into the common social customs of the day. Wo see. Him at it wedding, a dinner party, In the home of sickness, and at a funeral. He was tiuly a man among men. Ho was unlike John the llnptlst In this respect. The Christian's Influence la best when mingling with his fellow men In all right relations and positions In life, even though selfish und evil minded persons ure found among them. Tills docs not mean that he should be a partaker of their evil deeds. Jesus in thuu moving In all circles of human society showed the divine sympntliy. While Jesus was in society he was not of It. So should tho Christian be. Jesus was In n com pany outwurdly courteous but Inward ly hostile. Doubtless the motive of the Invitation was to find an occasion against Him. This Is Implied in the stntement "they watched Him." II. Jesus Healing a Dropsical Man (vv. 2-0). 1. Why This Man Was Present (v.2). There is no way of absolutely de termining It, but likely it was part of n plot of the Pharisees to trap Jesus by getting Illm to violnto the Sabbath rules. 2. Jesus'- Question (v. 3). Jesus question wus an answer to the thoughts of the lawyers and Pharisees who were watching Hlin, for they had not spoken. Dcfore healing this man Ho submitted the case to their Judgment. Thoy were free on the Snbbath day to hold a feast where their selfish prldo and vanity could be displayed, but they were horrified that a fellow-man should be healed on the Snbbnth. They were silent because their consciences made them ashnmed of their heartlcssness. 3. Healing the Man (v. -1). While they were in u stnte of embarrassment Jesus henled the man and let him go. 4. Jesus Rebuked Them (vv. 5, 0). He laid bare their hypocrisy by show ing them that their willingness to show mercy to a beast on the Sabbath should Induce them to regurd its not sinful to- relieve n humnn being of distress on the Sabbath. They were ugaln Bllent, for they perceived their Inconsistency and inhumanity. III. Jesus Rebukes Selfish Ambi tion (vv. 7-10). 1. The Occuslon (v. 7). lie observed thnt the guests while taking their places at the table chose the best seats for themselves. This Is still tru& of men and women. In the railway cars, hotels, street cars, etc., they scramble for the best places. In the homes even members of the snme fam ily will try to get the best food, etc." 2. Instruction Given (vv. 8-11). When bidden to a feast, take the lour cst placo lest you suffer the humilia tion of being asked to take n lower scat. This Is more than a lesson n courtesy or table manners; It la a severe rebuke of that selfishness which fills the human heart, causing It to seek to be ministered to Instend of minister ing to others. Unselfishness will ex press Itself In humbly tnklng the low est plnce, esteeming others better than ourselves. The fundamental principle of tho philosophy governing tlio moral world, Jesus declares to bo: "Whoso ever cxaltetli himself shall he abased, and he that luunbleth himself shnll bo exalted." IV. The True Motive In Deeds of Charity (vv. 12-14). Jesus takes ndvuutngo of this social occasion to teach a great principle. The Jews, like many of tho rich today, made social dinner occasions for dis play. Thoy Invited only those whose wealth would enable them to recom pense them by Inviting them in return. Jesus took note of tho selfishness thus displayed nnd set forth to thorn tho right principle, namely, that they should extend their hospitality to the poor and nflllcted. All charitable deeds should be done with unselfish motives. Jesus nssured them that compensation would bo mndo nt tho resurrection of the Just. This docs not mean thnt friends and neighbors of certain rank should never exchange plcnsnnt hos pitalities. Wealth Bhpuld be used to confer blessings upon the poor and needy instead of ministering to the pride nnd vanity of the possessor. How Churches Grow. Once there was a Chinese laundry.
