I n r I l I The S. s. Lesson Judas saith unto Him. This apostle is probably the one elsewhere called Lebbaeus or Thaddaeus, and this ques- tion is all that is recorded of him in the New Testament. He speaks as a, typical Jew, and wishes to know why Christ does not make a glorious, con- quering manifestation of Himself to the world; why only show Himself to the disciples? _ Obedience-Genesis 12: 1-4; Mat- thew 7: 16-29; John 14: 21-24. We all know what obedience is: dry- ing what we are told to do. We all know that we ought not to obey those that have no right to command us, and that we ought to obey those who have that right. Parents have the right to command children, teachers to command pupils, employers to com- mand their workmen, rulers to com- mand their citizens, officers to com- mand soldiers, Christ to command His followers. All of these except Christ may sometimes err and command us to do what Christ tells us not to do; in that case Christ alone is to be obeyed, because He alone is all-wise and com- mands always what is right. We know all these things, but we do not always carry them out in our lives, because we sometimes lack the motive of obed- ience. We may obey from fear of punish- meat or to obtain some. reward, but that is only surface obedience and not heart obedience. True obedience loves either the person giving the command or the object and idea back of the command, as a soldier may not love his eaptain,-but loves his country for which both he and his captain are fighting. Love can be one sided; it is possible to love those that do not love us; but in the case of Jesus that is never the case: He always loves back again. Love leads to light; what you love you will come to understand. It you love and obey Christ you will see Him and live with Him.' This is the great reward ot obedience, Evil deeds are so made that they cast a black shadow, and that shadow is punishment. It is well to tear the shadow, but far better to fear the sin that is back of it. Reverence of God is a still wiser mo- tive for obedience than the fear of God. We cannot have too great rev- erence for the Bible, the great Com- mandment Book of God. The Difficulties of Obedience Abram, afterwards called Abraham, was the son ot Terah, a man of con- siderable importance in Ur, a city of Chaldea, on the lower Euphrates. Ter- ah, with his family emigrated north- westward to Haran in Mesopotamia, probably because the Hammurabi dynasty introduced into Babylonia a lower form ot religion. The career of Abram, noble son of a noble father, is one of the best illustrations of the dit- ficult life of obedience. Now the Lord said unto Abram, ei- ther ‘in an audible voice or, no less really, as he speaks to us, through the mind of conscience. In all his life-long juorney. Abraham waited upon the Voice. Again and again it GOLDEN TEXT-ye are my friends if ye do the things which I command you.---" , 15 :14. V r, The Lesson in Its Setting [ Abraham's migration to Canaan oc- curred about 1928 B. C. The Sermon on the Mount was preached on the hill called the Horns of Hattin, west of the Sea. of Galilee, in the summer of A. D. 28. is written, "And the Lord spake unto Him, saying" He still speaks no less really, it less audibly, to those who are willing to hear Him. One of the most impelling reasons for obedience to God is its infinite in- fluence. Its effects widen out to all men and extend through all eternity. As the pulsations of every least word spread out through the air everywhere and perhaps can be heard by the an- gels in the farthest star, so the influ- ence of the smallest deed of ebedience is endless. I will bless thee, God never sends any one forth except to the Land of Blessing.. In spite of its dangers and difficulties, the path ot obedience is always the happiest path a man can take. Christy suffering in obedience. Our perfect example in this cross-bearing is Jesus Christ, Who "learned obedi- ence, by the things which He suffer- ed," and so became the Teacher and Rewarder of obedience in others. Christ's prayer in the midst ot the agony ot Gethsemane. "Not My will, But Thine, be done,” is the model tor us whenever obedience is difficult. It, even more than the famous petitions in the Sermon on the Mount, deserves to be called "the Lord's Prayer." The Results of Obedience By their fruits ye shall know them. The test ot a plant is not its roots, or branches, or leaves, but its flower and fruit; so the test of a lite is not its hid- den thoughts or its outer show, but its practical results, That is why Christ ‘lays so much emphasis upon practical results: they require the soul, the character, behind them. You cannot get a, noble life. except from a noble heart. Peter denied his Lord, Judas had enough good in him to lead Christ to choose him as a disciple. But Peter was good at heart; and his badness was only the worm-eaten apple on a tree whose fruit was predominatingly trood,-while Judas was bad at heart and came to bear nothing but worth- less fruit. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4TH, 1919 , The obedient soldier marches at the command of his ottieer, though he does not know whither. Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord. Of course every Chris- tian hails Christ as Lord, but this ver- bal acknowledgement of His authority is empty unless obedience to His au- thority goes with it. Not mere saying but doing is what will count on the day ot judgment. In His insistence. upon fruit-bearing Christ does not ac- cept even the work that appears mightiest unless it springs from heart obedience. LESSON x.--June 8 The Motive Mr, Bro. H. M.
