JESUS AFFIRMS HIS DEiTY
John 8:12-15
PRINTED TEXT
John 8:12, 25-36, 56-59
GOLDEN TEXT.—He that hath
seen me hath seen the Father.

Memory Verse: We . . are

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. Mid -October A.D. 29,
shortly after the Feast of the
Tabernacles.
Place.—This discourse, as indi-
cated by verse 20, was spoken in
the treasury of the Temple lo-
cated in the court of the women,
the most public part of the
Temple, on Mt. lYioriah, in the
city of Jerusalem. Here the San-
hedrin ordinarily held its sittings.
Light of the World
"Again therefore Jesus spake
unto them, saying, I am the light
of the world he that followeth me
411811 not walk in the darkness,
but shall have the light of life."
Probably nothing in all nature
has been more constantly used to
express spiritual ideas than light.
Darkness becomes inevitably asso-
ciated with ignorance, sorrow, sin;
light with knowledge, truth, hap-
piness. In the Bible, from Gene-
sis to Revelation, we find light
employed to signify the highest
of blessings not only in the na-
tural but in the spiritual world.
On its very last page is the prom-
ise 'There, shall be no night
there.'
Christ and the Father
"They said therefore unto him,
Who art thou? Jesus said unto
then, Even that which I have
also spoken unto you from the
beginning. I have many things
to speak and to judge concern-
ing you: howbeit he that sent me
is true; and the things which 1
heard from him, these speak 'I
unto the world. They perceived
not that be spake to them of the
Father." After all, this is the
great question concerning Christ,
'Who art thou?' Christ always
.recognized it to be the . supreme
question, for He was continually
asking.'Whom say ye that I am?'
It is incredible that the Jews can
have failed to understand what
Christ has just declared, that He
was from above and not of this
world.
• `Jesus therefore said, when ye
have lifted up the Son of 1118n,
then shall ye know that I am he,
and that I do nothing of myself,
but as . the Father taught me,
1 speak these things. And he that
sent rte is with me; be hath not
left sire alone;, for I do always
the things that are pleasing to
him. As he spake these things'
many believed of hint," In these
verses Christ declares five things
about the Father—the Son was
sent by the Father, the Son
speaks what he hears from the
Father, the Son was ever ton-
scious of the Father's' presence
with slim; the son ever lived' to
please the Father. Finally, the
1i'ather. in Himself is true. In
Ilse phrase 'when ye have lifted
'up the Son of than' our Lord has
reference to. His .., approaching
death.
Truth Bestows Freedom
"Jesus therefore said to those
Wows that had believed 11it11, If
ye abide in my word, then are ye
'.
truly my disciples." his scan-'
. l:ened is a 958010110 recognition of
the :tint rude beginning of faith,
Even this, if it wore cherished
with absolute devotion, might be-
come the foundatioii • of better
things.
_. "And ye shall know the truth,
acid the truth shall snake you
free," Tho truth at revealed in
the Word of God sots us free
from ignor81188, from bondage to
5111, from feiu of 111411 and or
death, frolil low ideals and from
death itself,
Bondage of Sin
"They answered unto him, We
aro Abraham's seed, and have
never yet been it bondage to any
man: bow wryest thou, Ye shall
be made free?" When Christ
spoke of setting men free, His
listeners, still in a critical snood,
and refusing to accept His Words
as true, trade one of the most
astonishingly inaccurate state-
ments that could ever have been
uttered by the Jews at any time,
'We have never yet been in bond-
age to any man.'
The whole past history of their
nation was the record of one
bondage following hard on an-
other, they for their sins having
conte at one time or another under
the yoke of almost every people
round about then. They had
been, by turns, in bondage to the
Canaanites, the Philistines, the
Syrians, tine Chaldeans; • then
again to the .Graeco-Syrian kings.
"Jesus answered 'them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Every 0110
that conmiitteth sin is the bond-
servant of sin." Any wilful sin,
admitted into the heart, having
once gained a footing there, can-
not remain at a standstill, but
must ever bring more and more
the whole man under its domin-
ion, laying ever new and ever
stronger fetters upon him.
"And the bondservant abidetlt
not in the house for ever: the
son abideth for ever." The house
is the kingdom of God. The chief
point of- contrast is the tempor-
ary place and the enduring place
of the slave and the Son respec-
tively in the house. No one with
the heart of a slave towards God
can possibly be within His eternal
house; and the heart of a sinner
unperdoned is the heart of a
slave,
Promise Fulfilled
"If therefore the Son shall
make you free, ye shall be free
indeed." When a 'habit is allowed
to dominate our lives we are no
longer free. Wen pride, vanity,
ambition or pleasure controls our
lives we are slaves, The very fact
that we do' not or can not cease
from sin makes us slaves. Jesus
Christ came into a world of
slaves.
"Your father Abraham rejoiced
to see my day; and he saw it and
was glad." Christ's day was the
day of promise fulfilled, when
the new age of gospel grace be-
gan in the advent of the Son of
God in flesh.
"The Jews therefore said unto
him, Thou art not yet fifty years
old, and hest thou seen Abraham?
Jesus said unto thein, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before
Aboabani was born, I am." Here
is one of the most significant
passages in the New . Testament,
setting forth the great doctrine of
Christ's pre-existence.
'—that I am' expresses abso-
lute Deity. These words can only
be uttered by a Being of under-
ived existence, uncreated and un-
ending. There is no past tense
to His being and no future—He
is at the centre of all life.

New Sky Giant
Can Carry Tank
Motors Are Most Powerful
Service Alr-Craft Engines
Lockheed's triple -tailed, shark
,bodied "Constellation," capable of
flying a light tank and its coin
plement of troops across an ocean,
made its first flight last week.
."The new slcy giant," the emu -
Pally declared, "may prove faster
than a Japanese Zero fighter or
any known four -engined bomber
now in active service."
The olive-green ,craft, powered
by four 2,000,horsepower air-cooled
radial motors, was designed and
built as a passenger airliner, but
for the duration the initial model
and its successors will be turned
over to the army for war -time
duty.
Builders of the motors, Wright
Cyclone . 18's, said they are the
world's most powerful service•alr-
craft engines.
The aerial newcomer will cruise
at 20,000 feet, which is above 90
per cent. of all rough -air disturb-
antes, and carries ample fuel to
fly around most others. If neces-
sary, the Constellation can rise
to 35,000 feet.
If au engine fails, the ship can
fly at 25,000 feet ou the other
three. If two motors die, the other
two will carry the plane at 10,500
feet.
Flying a full load, the big trans-
port uses one gallon of gasoline
per mile, the company said.
The wing. the company reveal-
ed, is in effect an enlargement of
that on Lockheed's famous P-88
fighter. At the unveiling of the
plane a P-38 nestled comfortably
under one' wing of the new giant.
Berlin .After Raid
Looks Like Cologne
The Berlin newspaper Nacht-
ausgabe was quoted as stating
that Berlin after two heavy raids
by British bombers presented
"the same view" as the heavily
battered German cities of Col-
ogne, Bremen, Emden, Duessel-
dorf, Essen and Wilhelmshaven,
":but on a smaller scale."
The Stockholm newspaper Dag-
ens Nyheterreported the quota-
tion in a despatch from the Ger-
man Capital.
The cities mentioned are the
most heavily -bombed in all Ger-
many. They have been hit re-
peatedly, however, while Berlin
has only been struck twice after
a 14 -month interval. In view of
this, Nachtausgabe's comparison
was significant as to the damage
clone Berlin.
Big Coal Reserves
In South Africa
Coal reserves of South Africa
are sufficient for "some thous-
ands of years," according to a
statement by a principal in the
' trade, recently made known to the
United States Department of
Couimerce.
He stated that the huge coal
reserves of the Union could be
%converted to liquid fuel if the
world's natural oil reserves should
become depleted.
Coal production during 1941
totaled 20,318,308 tons. Some of
the 68 producing mines turned
out as much as 5,000 tons daily.

Such le the cryptic warning which

in the interests of conservation
under .the instruction:4 of the war

Canadian Brondegsting Corpora-
tion. The warning is contained on

says that we should take every
precaution to snake them last, For

low tag is being attached to the
electric cable which connects the

fier. This too contains a war
time warning ... "The cord on
this mike is mostly copper and
rubber. Can you think of any

songs of the open country and of

ere great favorites of the leader
of America's Arsenal of Democ-
racy. Both of these preferences
are the president's measure of the
freedom of the great open, spaces

reflected in his political outlook.
Clark Gable, to take another ex-
ample, prefers songs such as the
"Road to Mandalay" and "Danny
?Jeerer," which fan his yen for
high, devil-may-care adventure of
the romantic type. Vigorous men
of the "go-getter" type prefer
stirring military strains and the
dramatic style of operation music.
The youthful generation enjoy
"boogie woogie," swing, or
"sweet" dance music according to
to their individual character. So.
it world not be inappropriate to
suggest that "By their radio pro-
grammes you shall know them."
