LESSON: Do you boys and girls find it hard to forgive others as Christ com manded? Yes, I think most people do, unless they seek and secure God's power. I brought two sketches which I trust will help us understand why it is often difficult to forgive others, and also how we may obey Christ In this command. On one sketch I will make marks with this pencil. The marks do not show on the outside, but in the heart they can be seen clearly. Very often what others do to us hurts our feelings more than our flesh. For this reason it is hard to forgive them and to forget the injury. I will mark on this other man and see what effect it has on his heart. No marks are made on the heart. This gol den sheet of paper marked “THE LOVE OF CHRIST” keeps the marks from reaching the heart. If each one would keep the love of Christ near the heart, it would be easy to forgive and, forget the wrongs of others. When we remember that our Lord has forgiven us even at the cost of dying for our sins, we will have His love and forgiveness in our hearts and will be ready to forgive others. 21, 1940 tile s e x e rc is e d o m in io n o v e r th e m , a n d t h a t th e y t h a t a r e g r e a t e x e rc is e a u t h o r ity u p o n th e m . . . 26 B u t I t s h a ll n o t b e so am o n g y o u : b u t w h o s o e v e r w ill b e g r e a t a m o n g y o u , le t h im b e y o u r m in is te r : 27 A n d w h o s o e v e r w ill b e c h ie f am o n g y o u , le t h im b e y o u r s e r v a n t : ........................ 28 E v e n a s th e S on o f m a n c am e n o t to b e m in is te r e d u n to , b u t to m in is te r , a n d to R iv e h is life a r a n s o m f o r m a n y .

Outline and Exposition I. T h e L o r d ’ s A n n o u n c e m e n t (17-19) » T THIS time the Lord J e s u s spoke only to the twelve con cerning His approaching death and resurrection; a premature announce ment to the crowd would have been un wise. This was the third time He had shown this truth to the twelve, but they were so blinded by their personal jeal ousies and unholy ambitions that the message made little impression u p o n them. Having, complete foreknowledge, of the nature of coming events, the Saviour knew also that, nothing could touch His life except that which already had been determined by the all-wise Father to be done (cf. Acts 2:23; 4:24-28). But His foreknowledge did not diminish the sin fulness of the actions of men. All the world—Jews and Gentiles—were and are guilty of the crime committed on Cal vary. God knew what men would do, hut omniscience did not require t h e m to act as they did.
