THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDA Y-SCHOOL LESSON.
Second Quarter. Lesson 11. John XX, 11-18
Sunday, April 10, 1904.
PETER CONFESSES THE CHRIST.
It is not a mere incidental note that
Jesus is here described as praying. He
prayed before ever he chose his apostles.
He prays now before he reveals the, to them
inscrutable and repugnant doctrines of His
Cross.
The apostles’ belief in the Messiahship of
Jesus had been a natural growth. They
may have seen in Him at first the son of
Joseph only—then one divinely endowed, a
prophet and miracle-worker. Now, though
they bave never yet expressed it, categoric-
ally, after eighteen months’ intimate com-
panionship with Him,they believe Him the
Son of God.
As a background of their own confession.
He draws from the current opinion concern
ing Himself. It is favorable, high and kind;
but crude, confused, erroneous. Upon this
murky base Petet's immortal credo stands
forth like a clear-cut medallion—‘'Thou
art the Christ of God!”, That confession is
epochal in the history of the college of
apostles. It is ite advancement to higher
grade.
Now Jesus sets before these sacred un-
dergradunates the most difficult lesson of the
whole curriculum—one calculated to dash
their enthusiasm, and shock and dum-
found them. Previous intimations seem
to have made at best but superficial and
passing impressions. Only the regal por-
traitures of the Messiah, found in the psal-
ter and prophets, had caught their ambi-
tious eyes. They were thoroughly inocu-
lated with the current Hebrew passion for
| dazed pupils.
a Messiah who should be a temporal deliv-
erer and ‘a restorer of Solomonic splen-
dors.
Now the Master reveals to them a Mes-
siah without form and comeliness; a beau-
tiless root out of dry ground, undesirable;
a Shiloh on his way, not to a coronation,
but a cross—one who should wear acrown
indeed, but one of thorns; an anointed one
on his way to the capital, but only there to
be rejected and to suffer.
Do you wonder heart and flesh failed
these novices at such a revelation? They
strongly needed the Savior’s prayers just
offered in their bebalf. Faint idea had they
of a victory that could come through love
and suffering, sacrifice and death. It was
incomprehensible to them. Peter only
voiced the doubt of all now, as a moment
before he had voiced their faith. The Mes-
siah’s death meant irretrievable ruin to
them. The Wonderworker who had given
life to others could certainly put such an
ignominious fate far from him if he would
but use his power.
It is an evidence of our Loid’s true hu-
manity that Peter’s emphatic protest was
a real temptation to him. Jesus’ flesh re-
volted at such a fate as strongly as Peter's
flesh did. The flesh of both could only be
offset by a zeal of the spirit.
What Jesus wanted at this crucial mo-
ment was disciples who should not be
ashamed of this new conception of the Mes-
siahship; disciples willing to forego their
wildest dreams of political independence
and power; willing to let their cherished
bopes of a worldly monarchy die; willing
to take the Via Dolorosa instead of the re-
gal highway. This, too, not to be an ocea-
sional affair, but their very life. To carry
the cross always; to die daily; an hourly
self-effacement—this was the essential of
| the kingdom of Jesus.
See the Master’s sweet patience with his
He knows that flesh and
blood cannot attain such an attitude at a
single bound. He spends the next eigh-
teen months in training the twelve to the
unworldly idea of His kingdom: inuring
them to the sight of his former rejection by
the highest court of the nation, a nd the
‘““many things’’ He must needs suffer, even
His bloody agony and death.
One blessed word of comfort He gives
them straightway. The kingdom of truth
is very unlike what they had expected; but
some of them present shall bot taste
death before they see it. And they shall
be satisfied.
THE TEACHER'S LANTERN.
In bis last year, Jesus sarned from the
multitude and concentrated His energies
upon His disciples. His ministry to the
throng bad proved a failure. His pearls
of word and deed had fallen before a bru-
tish people. To perpetnate His church af-
ter His departure, He turns to trim and
square and polish His apostles—as the
foundation-stones that are to bear aloft the
soperstructure. With this in view, be led
them to Decapolis and Tyre and Sidon and
Caesarea-Philippi, localities where He was
comparatively unknown. In such places
His course of private instruction would be
least interrupted by public demands.
* * * 3 *
Philip's Caesarea was in what has aptly
been called ‘‘the Switzerland of Palestine’’
There was the ever-lasting contrast between
Arctic white and tropic emerald. As they
walked amid the oleanders and heside the
gushing fountain,source of the Jordan, they
could lifc their eves to snoweclad Hermon
and Lebanon. It was a schoolroom worthy
at once of teacher and taught.
ES * * * *
It was this glorious sanctuary of nature
which first rang with the simplies, sublim-
est credo of all the ages, as the ‘‘mouth of
the apostles’ cried. ‘Thon art the Christ,
the Son of the living God.” In that word,
Peter burst the shell of an hereditary and
universal misconception of the Messiah.
He first spread the wings of a true Messian
ic faith, and soared above the temporal
ideas of throne, army and conquest.
* * * * *
At the sound of this confession, Jesus was
in a transport of joy. It repaid Him for
all the toil, humiliation and sacrifice of
His ministry. But while joyously setting
the seal of approval on Peter’s creed, He
also avows its supernatural source. It came
not from flesh and blood. It originated
not in Himself, nor in some human teach-
er. It was a revelation of the Father in
heaven.
* * * * *
affirmation? We cannot join with those
who say that Jesus addressed Peter only as
the spokesman of the apostles, and that
what He said to Peter applied mostly to
all; nor with those who say that Peter’s
confession, nos Peter’s self, was the rock
on which Jesus built His church. These
are current interpretations it is true.
* * * * *
But would it not be better to take the
langunage as it stands, and admit that Jesus
built his church upon the man Peter? But
he is such a man as Jesus describes—a man
with a revelation; a revelation that did not
originate in himself, or in a fellow,but one
that came from God; a revelation received
with faith and acknowledged with joy. It
is the man as a confessor that forms the ba-
sis of the church, The confession apart, be
it ever so orthodox, is a dead thing; but the
confession on the lips and in the character
is the liveliest thing in the world.
* * * * *
Well says the apostle, ‘No man san say
that Jesus is the Christ except God be with
him.”” Of course, any one could say the
words by rote and parrot-like; but no one
can say them as they should be said, in a
manner pleasing to God, with right emo-
tions, with faith and love and loyalty un-
of time, Peter was the first to make confes-
sion in this manner.
fore, to use an oft-repeated ficure of the
New Testament, as the first living stone
upon the chief corner-stone. So everyone
that says Jesus is the Christ—not by reve-
lation of flesh and blood, but of the Spirit
which has made Him a new creature—be-
comes at ‘once a living stone in that spirit-
ual temple whose walls are salvation and
whose gates are praise. :
* * * * *
The gates of Hades, the insatiable jaws,
soon or late, close upon all this world con-
tains. The powerful, the beautifal, the
wise, all alike, sink down in death. Insti-
tutions, arts, sciences, literatures, govern-
ments, the remorseless doors of oblivion
close upon them. But one thing survives
the universal wreck. Jesus says: ‘My
church the gates of hell shall nos
prevail against it.”” Ove thing, and that
the best the earth contains, escapes the gap-
ing mouth of death.

Scarcely bad Peter’s superb confession
fallen from hls lips before there came the
injunction against blazing it abroad. Why
would Jesus have his disciples taciturn and
mute concerning a doctrine so transcend-
ently important? It was evidently a mat-
ter of discretion. The apostles were not
sufficiently schooled to preach it as yet; nor
the people to receive it.
* * * * *
The key to that subtle profit-and-loss text
that fell from Jesus’ lips on this occasion is
the double sense in which the term ‘life’?
is used. Whoever makes it his supreme
concern to conserve the profits of the natu-
ral life shall be bankrupt spiritually; bat
whoso discounts the bodily life for the soul
shall enrich his immortal life. And in the
last analysis, the soul is everything. Who
can name its precious price?
Property Owners Have Rights.
Judge Voiis Auten, in the Sunbury
court Tuesday, decided that an ordinance
adopted by the borough council, giving a
telephone company the right of way to
construct a line of poles and wires through
the streets, does not give the said company
the additional right to place a pole in front
of any property when the same interferes
with the right of the owner.
ROBBED THE GRAVE.—A startling inci-
dent, is narrated by John Oliver, of Phila-
delphia, as follows: “I was in an awful
condition. My skin was almost yellow,
eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continu-
ally in back and sides, no appetite,growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians had
given me up. Then I was advised to use
Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Only 50 cents,
