Text of Lesson, Mark 2:23 to 3;6—
Memory Verses, Ex. 29;6,1 1—Gold.
en Text, Mark 2:28—Commentary
prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Taking up the verses between hist
week's lesson and this one, we note
Christ was ever 'teaching the people,
ter he was truiy the Groat Teacher,
null it Is written, "'Who teacheth bite
hit? And we may well pray, "That
which I see not, teach thou rue" (Job
04162, 96:22), Before he went away
he' said that he would send the Holy
Spirit, who would teach us all things
(John 14;26), ami hs did, and we nifty
rely upon him as ever In us to guide
us into all truth.
When he called Levi, or Matthew, to
follow him, he promptly did so, having
no doubt heard and recoived.hls teach-
ing. He then Made Jesus a feast In
MS home (Lupe 5:29), and Invited many
of his publican friends and other sin-
ners, as well its those who were al-
ready disciples of Jesus. This brought
sneers and scoffing from the self. -
righteous scribes and pheriseos, who
were above associating with such peo-
ple, and led Jesus to say.that he came
not to call self-righteous people, but
sinners to repentance. He does not
want worship or sacrifice from un-
saved people, for they that are in the
flesh cannot please God, but he Is ready
tL have mercy'upoa all who come to
hlin, Compare Matt. 9:1a' Tsaa-
8:6, and see Rom. 3:8. We can only
say to people who are good enough in
their own estimation that while we are
Sorry for them, we never beard of a
Saviour for thein.
Then come up the question of fast-
ing, on which these Pharisees counted
so much, which led the Lord Jesus to
speak of himself as the Bridegroom,
and his disciples as the children of the
bride -chamber, saying that they would
have occasion to fast in Ids absence,
but not while he was with them. Those
Pharisees wers-patchwork peop'e, try'
ing to put something new'upon some-
thing old, or spmething new into some-
thing old, but such Is not the Loral's
method, for our old sinful natures are

,a religious idol they had made It, ttad
worshiped it and not God. Again and
again it is written that because of his
disregard of their idol they determined
to 0111 'him (8:6). Doctor Weston inns
said that it is often n surprise when
one's attentloti is first called to the
fact, that the hinnedlate occasion of
the determination by the .Tewish rulers
to pot Christ to death wnta his relation
to their Sabbath. The Sabbath might
be called the Jewish national flog, and
in It they claimed a peculiar relation
to God ns their creator and redeemer,
but in reality they knew him not, and
through deceit refused to to know him
