It reminds me of a very important word that has to do with our doing ex actly' as we are told. Can you guess the word I have in mind? “Is it ‘obedience’ ?” >You are right, Charles. And when we think of obedience, we remember Christ, the One who was always obe dient to His Father. We read in Luke 3:22 that God the heavenly Father said of Christ, “Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.” Did you realize that obedience often costs much? It cost the Lord Jesus Christ His life on the cross. This “O” is made up of white and red. The white speaks to us of the purity of Christ, arid the red tells of His blood which was shed on the cross for us. We will cut the “O” in two with these scissors. See, the “O” is made into, two separate links. The red link reaches down to the world and encircles it. We should always remem ber that because of the obedience of Christ, His blood reaches a lost world. as this was done, then Satan attempted to hinder the service, break down the assurance, and dispute the right to the office. The battle'therefore begins with the “then.” From the opened heavens and the hearing of the Father’s voice He was led by the Holy Spirit to the bleak wilderness and the hearing of Satan’s voice. The Lord Jesus Christ had the legal right to the throne; that could not be denied. He had personal right to it, and that also could not be denied. But the devil could and did dispute His moral right. As the devil questioned . the right of the first man, Adam, so he challenged the right of the Second Man, the Lord Jesus, and God accepted that latter challenge. Hence Jesus was

Object Lesson A S aving C ircle
- OBJECTS: A paper circle, a small globe of the world, and a pair of scis sors. (The circle should be of white paper, 3 inches wide and 8 feet in. cir cumference. Adding machine paper is suitable. Color half of the paper red on both sides, the full length. Before pasting the ends together, give one end a full twist. This will make two links when the paper is cut in two down the middle.) LESSON: This looks like a big "O”. Matthew 4 il Then w h Jesus led an of the Spirit Into the wilderness to be tempt- ed of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights» he was afterward ahnn- gered. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thon be the Son of God, com mand that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and naid, It is writ ten» Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word tjiat proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil tafceth him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pin nacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time tjiou dash thy foot against a stone. ^ 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written ■again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into ’ an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them! 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy liod, and him Only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
