. S»*i SCHOOL. Lesson I.—Second Quarter, For April 4. 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt, xxvili, 1-10. Memory Verses, 5. 6—Golden Text, I Cor. XV, 20—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Sturm. The regular lessou would be I Sam. iv, in which we have the record of Saul rejected bees use he rejected the word of the I»rd (I Sam. it, 23, 26). Samuel reminded him of the time when he was little in his own sight and how the Loiti promoted him, but because he preferred Ills own thoughts and ways to those of the Lord he could not con tinue. It grieved Samuel; he cried nuto the Lord all night; he mourned for Saul, but came no more to see him uutll the day of his death (I Sam. IT. 11. 35V It is refreshing to tnrn from such a story to that of another rejected kiug. but iu this case He' was rejected by man. not God. God raised Utm from tile dead and gave Him glory. He Is MOW alive forevertnore, the Prince of the kings of the earth. King of kings i\nd Lord of lords, the true Son of David. yet to occupy the throne of Pa rid and reign forever, but waiting f >r His kingdom as David hud to wait. The Scripture is full of the suffer ings of Christ, from Gen. til. 15, 21. on to the end of the book, but it is also full of the resurrection, the kingdom mid the glory. Willingly and of His • own accord He humiliated Himself unto Bethlehem and Nazareth and Golgotha that the Scripture might be fulfilled, but God raised Him from the dead and gnve Hiui glory and all pow er In heaven and In earth that He might rid the earth of the devil and the curse and make It Hla own fair world, a* in Gen. i. He la our "alive forevermore" king (Rev. t 5, 18» wait ing for an "alive forevermore" peo ple to reign with Him. If we have seen ourselves as guilty. condemned pinners and have seen Him bearing our Pins In His ovrn body and raised from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father and have honestly received Him. putting all our trust In His rtntshed worts, theu we may safely rest on Eph. 1. 6, 7; John vi. 37. 47; Rom. 111. 24. and Joyfully an l liclpate I Thess. lv. 16. 17; I John 111, 3. 2; Col. 111. 4. His enemies made His tomb as sure as they could by a seal *nd a guard of soldiers (Matt, xxvii. 64-66 i. just about as secure as seals or soldiers can make things today, but all was unavailing. He makes us safe forever by His precious blood, sealing us by His Holy Spirit, and no power can break the bundle of life in which we are bound nor pluck us out of His fcand (I Sam. xxv, £:»; John x. 28>. I like much the great words of Acts I. 3. "He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs. Wing seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God." It is all so grand and.suggestive—Himself, infalli ble proofs, forty days, the things of the kingdom. He had Just as infalli l iy foretold by the prophets and more plainly by His own words that He would suffer and die and rise from the dead the third day. and if His dis ciples had only believed His words bow much sorrow they might have K-en spared and how much more joy t'.iey might have had: It is helpful to keep in mind the five appearances of tiie resurrection day, which were prob p">ly in this order—to Mary Magdalene, tiie other women. Simon Peter, the llinmaus wa;k. the ten in the evening, recently in Judges we saw how God £ iuored Deborah and other women Now it is Marj- and the other women, •ad. although Mary Magdalene saw Him first, the other women are the f ~st to touch Him (verse 9>. rea son is plainly given in John xx. 17. im- I lying that between the two appear ing* He had ascended and returned. What He did at His several appear l"igs during those forty days gives us e sample of what we can do in our glorified bodies. What an inspiration It should b«j to us to consider it! Thess women who so loved Him and were devoted to Him, not expecting His resurrection, had bought spices with which to anoint His dead body when the Sabbath was past, but they never dkl. Believing His word win prevent us from spending money unwisely. Jove is in some respects the greatest. I>ut in the matter of service it must be faith working by love (I Cor. xiiL 13; Gal. v. 6*. Note the ministry of angels e: His birth. In the wilderness and in tJethsemane. as well as in our lesson, and take comfort from Heb. i. 14. Note the "Fear not" of the angel (verse 5; I.uke ii, 10) and compare the Lord's » ' Peace be unto you" at Luke xxiv, 36. and hear His own voice to you in many similar sayings, for ail His thoughts to His people, however unworthy we may be. are thoughts of peace (Jer. ' rxlx. U; Ps xxix. 11>. Since e our loss. It is ours to he obedient, to so quickly and tell. He *11! see to the results. There is no use talking about the power of His resur rection unlH* His love constrains us II make it known \ commentator re- , , miads u* that the devil paid large fcioney to have a lie proclaimed i(verses bnt »ur I-ord sends us forth with the trutb ami stays by us to pro "»Me ai; things (verses 16-20).
