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 <Tuist
1* risen our great commission is. "Go.
t"Go teach ail nations!'' "Go into
si the world!" (Verses 7. 10. if); Mark
xvi. 10.) And If we are not obedient
