SUBJECT THE TURNING POINT IN THE MINISTRY OF JESTSlJESVS CONFESSED AS THE MESSIAH. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THE MESSIAH, 27-33- " II. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THE MES­ SIAH’S FOLLOWERS, 34-37. Introduction—We come here to the’ central event in our Lord's ministry.! It must be remembered that up to this ? time Jesus had not disclosed to any one the inner secret of his life. The stages by which he had been led to the conviction of his own’Messiahship were known only to himself. He had not spoken of this deepest of all ex­ periences even to his disciples. But now the time had come to make a full disclosure of the mysery. Jesus saw the Father’s hand in the events which were now peremptorily pointing him from Galilee to Jerusalem. His work in Galilee was done, and nothing re­ mained but to declare himself at Jer­ usalem, the heart of the nation, cost , what it might. He knew that suffer- t ing, nay, death itself had to be accept­ ed as the price of the disclosure.* The fact and all that it involved to the unsuspecting disciples. The method adopted by Jesus is declared in our lesson for today. He began by asking his disciples how the Galilean public interpreted his mis­ sion- “Whom to men say that I am?” From this he proceeded to enquire what interpretation his disciples set upon it. “Whom db you say that I am?" The answer of Peter, “Thou are the Christ," was hailed by Jesus as a veritable sign from God. It showed not only that his work had not I been in vain as regarded the disciples, but that God had imparted to these disciples something of the same super­ natural insight to which he had led himself. So Jesus proceeds to unfold to them the further mystery of his suffering. I. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THE MESSIAH, 27-33- V. 27. The city of Cmsarea, near which Jesus asked his memorable question, lay beyond the northern con­ fines of Palestine, near the base of Mount Hermon. In ancient times the Baalim had been worshipped in that ’ neighborhood. At a subsequent period Greek colonists introduced the wor­ ship of the Greek god of nature, Pan, and called the city Panias. Recently. Philip the tetrarch had rebuilt and adorned the city, naming it Caesarea “Philippi," to distinguish it from the other Caesarea on the coast. V. 28. Jesus’ first question related to the public impression produced by his ’ ministry. The answers quoted show 1 that the Galileans were sufficiently conscious of a mystery in Jesus’ per- .. sonality, a something which, went be- jyo’nd the ordinary and the normal- iBut they had not interpreted This to mean that he was the promised Sa­ viour of the nation. Some saw in him a mysterious repetition of the features of the Baptist. Others were led to connect him with the words spoken by the prophet Malachi about the Return of Elijah, Mai. 3:1 and 4:5. Others saw in him a great prophet like Elijah or Jeremiah. But, their minds bping obsessed by political forms of the Mes­ sianic hope, none saw in ^Jesus the possible Messiah of Israel.'' V. 29. Jesus now turns to the inner circle of the Twelve; “Whom do you’ say that I am?" Peter’s answer shows how much more deeply than the ordi­ nary public the disciples had felt the religious greatness of Jesus. They had come to believe that he was the one person on whom Israel’s salvation depended. “Christ,” “Messiah" (the two words are identical in meaning), mean the “Anointed One," whom God raises up to give redemption to his people in accordance with the prom­ ises. Peter’s answer was therefore absolutely epoch-making. Vs-. 39, 31> Jesus felt that Peter’s words were even more. They were a sign to him from God. Yet his imme­ diate answer is .to “rebuke" or “cen­ sure” the disciples. Why? Because to use the word “Christ" without I qualification, without a deeper under- ! standing of its meaning than was currently possessed, would be to start all kinds of false and irreligious ex-^ . ' ' " „ *’ . The people expected a Messiah “who would Maid: "He seize the crown and head a nationalist Mistress; 'ovement. Jesus had far other thoughts of what it became him to be.

Proud because' of his recent confession, he tries to} turn Jesus away from his predicted | course- But he only draws upon him­ self a sharp rebuke from Jesus. Jesus J declares Peter’s suggestion to be a temptation from Satan, and says to Peter: “Thou has no mind' for the things of God, but only for the things of men." II. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THE MES­ SIAH’S FOLLOWERS, 34-37. sV. 34. Jesus, alluding to Peter’s misguided suggestion, says now that, as he himself in going to Jerusalem ! must accept suffering, shame, and death for the sake of his message, his 1 disciples must do likewise. They, too, I must new -leave their homes, break family ties, renounce,their possessions, and abandon "all selfish interests. This is the meaning of “deny self." More­ over, the disciple must be prepared, if need be, to be crucified on a cross. Jesus sfsks for ■willingness to suffer literal death at the executioner’s hands for his sake. Only in this spirit can the disciples- now “follow" him. Vs. 35-37. The disciples will be tempted to hang back from fear. But Jesus reminds them that to hang back at this moment for the sake of pos­ sessions or from fear for their lives is to throw away “life” in the true [sense; in other words it is to accept [the lower life in preference to the ' higher, to save the skin at the expense of the’ soul- And this will surely be the poorest of all bargains.

All good gardeners carefully collect [ grass elippings, weeds and other gar­ den refuse, piling the same in some corner of the- yard, where, helped by a layer of soil and a little watering, this waste.gradually turns into a heap of valuable humus. In the small gar­ den at least, the pile always appears unsightly, but this can be avoided if a few surplus dahlia bulbs and some seed of BachCtoT buttons and trailing plants are included in the heap. The bulk of the refuse is collected in ear­ ly spring, so that any late additions will not seriously handicap these 'flowers, which should make a brave show from the middle of July until frost. ” Early Vegetables. Radishes, spinach, lettuce, early peas, and onions are staple crops of the early gardener and are the first fruits of the labor in the yard behind the house. The radish supply can be sowed at one time now instead of the usual repetitions, with an extra early, early, mid-season and late variety, all’ going in together but maturing in succession. The same varieties can be put in two weeks later and the work is done for the season. Head lettuce should be sprouting in boxes or hotbeds by tfiis time to be ready • to transplant into permanent quar­ ters as soon as it is safe to do so. Many gardeners refuse to bother with headless head lettuce any longer and have taken to the cos variety.

When the supply of man­ ure is limited or the soil is poor, the bulletin recommends a complete fer­ tilizer in which phosphoric acid aud potash predominate. On light sandy loams eithfer a heavy application of manure or a complet fertilizer with a fairly high content of potash is neces­ sary, A number of formulae for corn crops on different soils are suggested in the bulletin. For well manured loams and clay loams, 300 pounds of superphosphate is recommended. On similar soils where the manure sup­ ply is limited, 50 pounds of nitrate of soda, 40 of sulphate of ammonia, 40 of muriate of potash and 30 Opounds of superphosphate is suggested. The formula given for well manure sandy loams is 35 pounds of nitrate of soda, 25 of sulphate of ammonia, 60 of muri­ ate of potash and 300 of superphos­ phate, While ’for’ such soils with little manure the number of pounds of the first three ingredie'nts are raised to 80, 50 .and 100 respectively.’—Issued by the Director of f Publicitty, Do­ minion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
