I SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON "V *LESSON XIII CHRIST'S COMMISSIONâ€" Luke 24i36-S3. GOLDEN TEXT. â€" BehoM. 1 »mm4 forth tii* premise of my V«ther upon you. Luke 24;4!>. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time â€" The appearance to the ten disciples, Tboraas beine *))- MBt, took pUice on Sunday eve- Bing, April 9th, the day of the Kesui-rection ; the paiticular time when tiie events recorded 1b veraea 44-49 took place, we are Mo^al>le to determine. It was of eonrse during tba last two weeka •f April, or the firat two wteki •f May. The AKension occurred •a Thursday, May 18, A.D. 30. Place.â€" The appearance to the ten diacipies occurred in the up- per room in Jerusalem. The ex- act place where the events of Tusas 44-49 took place wc do not know. The Ascension occurred •t the village of Bethany, on the western slope of the Mount of Olives. In this lesson wo feel the de- aire on the part of the Lord Jesus to per$uad3 His disciples beyond all doubt that He was indeed the Jesus who had been crucified on Calvary, that He had truly, in Hia own body, risen from the dead; and, this bein^ true, He pressed upon the disciples the obligation to proclaim to the world the truths involved in His life and death and Resurrection. Evening of Resurrection Suddenly, while Peter and John were describin^r what had previously passed between them- selves and the risen Christ, they kecame conscious of a Presence In their midst. Luke 24:36. "And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them. Peace ke unto you." With Christ the words of greeting were no empty formality. The Resurrection was a divine assurance tiiat peace had been re-established between God and His world; and the original diacipies of the Lord, who had continued with Him in His temp- tations, were the first to receive tke message of this reconcilia- tion, as they were to be the first to publish it to mankin'^.. "Why Are Ye Troubled?" 37. "But they were tenified and affrighted, and supposed ttat they beheld a spirit." The disciples probably at once recog- nised that the person who stood before them was the Lord, yet Uiey did not believe it was Christ in a body, but simply the disembodied spirit of Jesus. And â- och an apparition would fright- •n the most hardened individual. S8. "And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? 26. And wherefore do questionings arise fa your heart?" They believed, •nd they did not believe. 89. "See my hands and my Sset, that it i« I myself: handle aa«, and see; for a Spirit hath aot flesh and bones, as ye behold â- se hliving. 40. And when he ftad said this, he showed them kis hands and his feet." If these 4Uflciple6 were not to have a pro- Sound conviction of the truth that he had risen from the grave, Oen they could never unflinch- ingly, incessantly, boldly, preach 4ie Resun-ection of Christ. They â- inst have abundant evidence, laoontravertible evidence; they kad it before the forty days of Christ's appearance had been completed. 41. "And while they •tUl disbelieved for joy, and won- 4*rti, he said unto them, Have p« here anything to eat. 42. ^d they gavo him S pitCt 9^ fcpoilfd fi/*. 43. And \it took W, •nd ate before them." Final lastnictions 44. "And he said unto them, nese are my words which I tgukt unto you, while I was yet VHh you, that all things must a*ed« be fulfilled, w1)lch are written in the law of Moses, and Hm propheta, and the psalms, •oticerning me. 45. Then opened ho their mind, that they might Underttaod the Kripturea." Christ 4ag«rly began to interpret to the 4isciples aom« of the greater Hessian ij; pa«Mges of the Old Testament which Hia coming, and 4toath, and retun'eotion had fal- ffDed. Soon He would go away, hni the word «f God w«uid not 4q>art from them; it would re- tuiin in their hands, and, know- lag ita meaning, convinced of Ha Avina origin and the fulfilment «f ita prophecies, they could (O Sorth to proclaim the Lord J'lsus •a the Chrtat of whom Moiei and Ae Prophets bad spoken.

Those who believe that Christ died for our ains and rose again, who believe ^ the word of God, are those to whom this com- mission is given. 48. "Yt are witnesses of these things." The word "witness" implies fact. The task of the disciples was to say, "We knew Him living, we mourn- ed Him dead, we saw Him risen." The Ascension 49. "And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry we in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high." The promise of the Father is the promise of the Holy Spirit, referred to in Isaiah 44:3 and other Old Testament books and by Christ himself dur-/ ing Passion Week. 50. "And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 61. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. 52. And they worship- ped him', and returned to Jerusa- lem with gieat Joy: 58. And were continually in the temple, blessing G^id." â-  This worship of Jesus, in whom we see the deity, and who in His peraon is deity, will continue to all eternity. The visible presence of Jesus was gone, not to appear again as be- fore, but when the disciples re- turned to Jerusalem, their hearts asng with great joy. They were not bereaved, but enriched. - habited by 600 Danes and 16,000 Eskimos, will include foodstuffs, livestock, building materials, electi'ical and mechanical equip- ment, oils, explosives.
