JESUS, THE MESSIAH
FORETELLS HIS DEATH
Lesson Text: Mark 8:27-37
Time: In the summer of A.D.29.
Place: Caesarea Philllppl.
Introduction
Our lesson today brings to us
the study of the last summer in
our Lord's earthly labors. Some
time after the events of last Sun
day's lesson Jesus sent the twelve
disciples on a preaching tour. We
do not know long this tour lasted,
but it took place about the time
that John was beheaded at the
order of Herod Antepas. After their
return when Jesus heard of the
death of John, he took his de-
sclples and returned to the north
eastern side of the sea of Galilee.
While here the Incident of the
feeding of the five thousand oc
curred about the time of the Pass-
over in the Spring of A. D. 29 about
one year before the death of our
Lord.
After this Jesus retired to Pho-
necia for a while and after farther
miracles he again withdrew from
the centers of population. At this
time he went north into Caesarea
Phillippi where the events of to
day's lesson occurred.
Who the Messiah Is
When Jesus and his desciples
had gotten to a place of seclusion
he thought that the time was op
portune to strengthen their laith in
him as the Messiah. Wo learn
from John that the desciples had
believed that Jesus was the he
ginning of his ministry. They had
not for nothing, they had address
ed him as the Son of God. We have
proof of this from Mathew who
tells us, "then they that were in
the ship came and worshipped
him, saying of a truth thou art the
Son of God. Christ's discourse upon
delegates must have at least
three years of club work including
1942 and must be 15 years of age the bread of life and his opposition
older. In addition, delegates
lance to him they would have lost
their lives in eternity. In the very
act of losing their lives they found
them. This same principle still
holds good. People who try to
save their lives by taking the
easy way and by living to satisfy
selfish ends will lose them. When
they follow this procedure they
will have but little to sho wfor
their life's work, but to the ones
who are willing to lose their life,
as would appear in the eyes of
man by sacrificing things tem
poral for Jesus will find life in
the good that they do, in the souls
that they win, and an eternal re
ward awaits them in the world to
come.
When we come to think of Cal
vary the spirit with which we
look is the Important thing, and
means more than what we say.
With some people Calvary means
nothing more than a subject for
discussion. They wil argue their
doctrines concerning atonement
and forget the love which Jesus
gave in order that he might be our
Saviour. It may be that the theo
logical argument may be of value
in a way; be that as it may, Jesus
would never have suffered as he
did on Calvary in order to create a
philosophy of redemption.
Son and the Cross
The scripture tells us that “He
was wounded for our transgres
sions.” We are told also that young
people today can get no meaning
from the statement. Very likely it
would mean something to them if
they dared to look at the episode
on Calvary and the men who cru
cified Christ.
We rejoice in the dignity of per
sonality and the great accomplish
ments of man and at the right time
and place we are forced to agree,
"what a piece of work man is, how
noble he is in reason, how infinite
in his knowledge, but when we
come to Calvary, we cannot say,
how like an angel.

Butler Library Has
Much Helpful Home
Defense Literature
In co-operation withall Public
Libraries* the W. P. A. State-wide
Project has become a non-certified
defense project to function as a
War Information Center.
Material on Home Defense, Con
sumer Education and similar top
ics are being received almost dai
ly. We are anxious to have the
public make use of all this ma
terial which is really very valu
able. Some of it will help to open
our eyes to the fact that we must
awake out of our complacency and
get busy. Then we learn what to do
and how to do it.
We receive regularly “Bulletins
from Britain.” Some new pamph
lets on hand are “Making Democ
racy Work,” Philipine Emergency,
and After the War Plans and
Problems.

to the traditions of the elders, had
lately offended many. The question
now is how did his own desciples
regard him after this,
In expressing the belief of the
desciples, Peter was the spokesman
for the twelve. The answer which
he gave was clear and to the
point, namely “thou art the
Christ.” Mathew adds, “the Son oi
the living God.” The compassion of
the living God.” The confession of
Peter was and is important not
important not because he made it,
but especially because Jesus ac
cepted it as true. This is a con
fession that every Christian should
assent to,
Meaning of the Messiahship
Peter and the rest of the de
sciples believed that Jesus was the
Messiah but none of them knew
what Messiahship meant. They
firmly believed that a Messiah
would lead the nation to a Victory
over the overlord of Rome, and
in whose government they would
hold an honored position. In re
gard to this Jesus tells them the
truth. He had previously given
hints to the desciples of his tragic
end, but he tells them now in the
plainest language namely, the
Son of man must suffer, be killed
and rise again. By “must” Jesus
did not mean that his enemies
would kil him under circumstances
which he could not avoid. John
tells us "no man taketh it from me
but I lay it down of myself. 1
have power to lay it down and 1
have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of
my Father." He meant that it was
necessary for Kim to die that he
might accomplish his work as
Messiah.
The "must” expressed an inward
constraint, rather than an outward
constraint. A suffering Messiah
was clearly set forth by Isaiah,
but it was foreign to the Jewws in
that age and is yet. It so shocked
Peter that he decided to try to re
buke the Lord, but later on after
the eyes of his understanding
were enlightened, Christ's death
for the sins of the world became
the great and fundamental doctrine
which was preached by Peter.
Requirements of the Messiah
Christ did not stop by showing
that self-denial and death was to
be his earthly end.* He made the
truth to man that if man was to
be his true folower that he must
if necessary, follow in his foot
steps. They must deny themselves;
must even be willing to lay down
their lives for him if such a need
arose. In the past many martyrs
could have saved themselves if
they would but have renounced
