To the people of these cities Iight had come and opportun- ity had been given to repent. Their rejection of Christ came through their believefailure to thoroughly rg heartily the message that cameo to them from the lips of Jesus. 21. Woe unto thee -Jesus is fore- telling the destruction that awaits those who reject him. There is no- thing vindictive in his word's, but rather pity and grief, as if he would • say, "Alas for thee." Chorazin-The location is not positively known, but it is placed at the modern Keraseh, about two miles from Capernaum to the northwest of the Sea of Galilee. Bethsaida -- "House of fish," is the meaninof the name. The cit stood north of the Sea of Galileelwhere the river Jordan empties into that body of water. It was the birthplace of Andrew, Peter and Philip.

It means that Christ has control over all things, for the good of his 1rurch; that the government of the universe is committed to him as Mediator, that he may redeem his people and guide them to glory. -Barnes. No man knoweth the Son -No man can ful- ly comprehend the mystery of the in- carnation, the character anal the attri- butes of the Son, and the great work he has done, and is to do, in saving. the world. But the Father -God only can understand himself. Save the Son -No man can understand or comprehend the Father in his nature, his attributes and his providences, save the Son. Will re- veal him --Those Ilio desire an acquaint - "The Son is the Word of God, revealing him to man; and the deepest mysteries and the highest glories of God can never be known to man except through Jesus Christ. But he reveals these things to those who come to him in childlike teach- ableness and trust. The love of Christ, obedience to his will, trust in the atone- ment, is the way to the highest knowl- edge of an ever -blessed Father;"p. This verse sets forth in unmistakable lan- guage the divinity of Christ, for these statements could not possibly apply to a mere man. 11. Invitation to come to Jesus (vs. 28.30). 28.

A. native Christian in India said to an English traveler,, "Ah ! Sahib, Christ is my rest -stone." The traveler did not feel the force of the words, but afterward found that burdens were not borne on carts or wagons, but on human heads and backs, along dusty roads un- der the blazing. heads and backs, along dusty- roads under the blazing sky. Stones set up by the highways served as resting places on which the weary burden -carriers cast their packs and sat down to rest. 2. Rest for the saved. "Ye shall find rest" (v. 29). There is a dif- ference between the rest God "will give" the sinner and the rest the \saved "shall find." The first signifies repose and refreshment, with a view of mov- ing on; the second, durability, perpe- tuity, immovability; a deep, abiding, permanent rest, utterly undisturbed by any of the turmoils and vicissitudes of life.
