His life was not to be one of ease and honor but of service and suffering, of sac­ rifice and shame. It is no wonder that the disciples rebelled against this interpretation. We have hard­ ly become accustomed to it even af­ ter sixteen, hundred years. Yet it is true, in our day as in the day of Christ, tiliat sacrifice and suffering are redemptive. 1 DON’T PUT UP WITH an UGLY SKIN Froitia-tives give new beauty peter Rebuked,.32, 33 Sunday School Lesson JESUS REQUIRES CONFESSION AND LOYALTY (International Uniform Sunday School Lesson, April 9) Golden Text “Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.”*—Mark 8.:34.

He had given them his teaching in the Sermon on the Mount had shown them his example as a healer and friend and had sent them out on a missionary tour that they might gain experience. ’ Now he wished to test out the result of all this training^and to know if they realized who he was. Could he trust his message to them? Were they dependable? lie first aflked them the opinion ol' others. The re­ ply came that some thought he was John the Baptist or Elijah, or one ■of the prophets. Those who had these answers had not been intimate enough with Jesus to know the real- meaning of his appearance. These answers showed that he had attract­ ed great attention, but they also re­ vealed that people outside the dis­ ciple band did not recognize him as Messiah. Caes- thirty asked their He had Peter's Confession, 29, 30 Suddenly Jesus made his question very direct and personal: ■say was 1-Ie the “Anointed. was equivalent to saying that he re­ cognized in Jesus the Messiah for whom Jewish saints and prophets had waited. It has been said that by making this confession, Peter was the first Christian. There are those today who say that to be a Christian ye must live in the spirit of Christ and follow the Golden Rule.

Those who look upon Christ as a mere man have never been foremost in missionary endeavor or to rescue work. There is a power that comes from recognizing in Christ the Son of God. Suffering Inevitable, 31 “Whom ye that I am?” As usual Peter the spokesman tor the twelve, answered and said, “Thou art Christ.” The word Christ means ” Peter’s use of this word his disciples. He wished to in them the conviction that the Christ of God, the one be the Messiah and the Sav- the world. Nor is this being Those who attach a As soon as the disciples acknow­ ledged the Messiahship of Jesus, it was necessary for them to be warn­ ed against mistake. In their minds there was associated with the com­ ing of the Messiah the thought of a Jewish king, a powerful war lord This was the opposite conception Of the Messiah as interpreted by Christ himself. He began to tell his dis­ ciples that the Son of Man must suf­ fer many things and die and rise again. He saw clearly that in such a world as that in which he lived suffering was inevitable. The eld­ ers, chief priests and Scribes were A Blend of Distinctive Quality died on a Santa years, f Morning What different people we may be at different times! One moment we may rise high and the next we fall low. There is what is spoken of as ths “defects of our yirtues.” Peter’s readiness to speak is mind had led to be the first to confess faith in Je­ sus as the Christ. This same out­ spokenness soon led him astray When he heard the Master speak about suffering and dying, Peter be­ gan to rebuke him. He did this out of loyalty and love, but he was put­ ting temptation in his Master's way Jesus rebuked him, uttering stern words: “Get tihee behind me, Satan; for thou favorest not the things that be of God, but the things that be ol' men." He used a phrase that had been used in repulsing the tempter in the wilderness.’ Jesus said this to Peter who had just confessed faith in him. Why did Jesus speak thus harshly to a loyal disiciple? Was it not because he realized the per­ suasiveness of a temptation coming from a friend who loved him and whom he loved? The temptations of our enemies lnay be easily with­ stood. . They present little attrac­ tion to us, but the temptations which come to us from our personal friends are much more dangerous and we must be that much more decisive in resisting them.
