TOc. WE WOULD SEE JESUS" A Sermon by Rev. W H Faust, Lexington. Ga Tex' Sir. we would see Fetus.”— John xii 21 The words of the text are t*Ken from a passage giving a v \ d and accurate accoun 1 of the triumphal entry of Christ nto Jerusalem and the effect it had upon Jew* and Greeks. The proud Pharisee* were standing by and contemplating the effect of His entry upon the masses 1 of the people. The shouts and ho- ) sannas and general spirit of adora tion and worship everywhere mani- * fest had a peculiar effect gyn these would-be religious leaders, and they gnashed on each other *4 the sight of the splendid demonstration, and .wtid “Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing Behold the world is gone after Him." And indeed the world at that moment seemed to fee; it had never felt before the drawing power of the Son of (Tod. and on every side was a manifest desire on the part of the people to declare Him sovereign, and enthrone Him right then In Jerusalem. These formalists and loyalists were exceedingly wretched when they saw how despite their ev tv effort to prevent it that the masses were leaning toward the N’azarene. and all their work seemed to be in vain. So they upbraided each other and marveled that peo ple wanted to follow Jesus, bur they marveled most of all to think that their herculean efforts were fruit less. while Jesus* power still drew. , The Effects on the Greeks. The Jews who were looking for a » Messiah failed to see Him w hen He f came. He didn t come a* they had anticipated and planned. He dion't conform to their methods in His teaching His kingdom was to be a spiritual one. and they looked for a temporal affair that would be en forced at the point of the oword and with power.

And when He came He was crucified, and the Jew’s saw no comeliness about Him that they should desire Him. The Greeks, however, were drawn to Him. They came to the apostles and said: “YVe would see Jesus.” Jesus, seeing that the hour was at hand in which Ho should be glorified, comforted by the seeking of the Greeks, ••aid; *1 if I be lifted up will draw all men unto Myself. ‘ So Jews and Greeks, members of Israel's chosen race, and Gentiles, good and bad. rich and poor, learned and unlearned, should be drawn to Jesus, who to them would through the cross become Saviour and King.. The Jcy of Jesus. For the joy that was set before Him He endured the, shadows of the cross already casting its rays of darkness across His life. Isaiah told of the time in which He should see of the travail of His soul and should be sat isfied. He longed for the world to seek Him. whom to know was eternal life, and it was a ray of light piercing the extreme darkness that was then settling down upon Him to see the inquiring Greeks looking for Him No greater joy came into the life of Christ than to see sons and daughters born into the Kingdom, becoming His followers and His loyal adher ents. Over the birth of one soul into Hie Kingdom there Is a threefold re juicing—rejoicing among the angels, rejoicing among the saved here on earth and real joy in the heart of a loving Saviour. His appointed time was drawing near in which He should be lifted up on the cross and there complete the great work of redemp tion for the sons and daughters of the entire human race, or at least so lea\es are for the healing of nat.onv Men speak of the wonderful life f t 'hrist His good deeds.
