III. THE REWARD, ch. 10: 40.42.. INTRODUCTION --Osie of the great achievements of Jesus was the call and the training of the Twelve. They were to carry on the work which he had begun, and were to lay the foun- dation o a world mission. I. THE HARVEST, ch. 9: 35-38. V, 35, This verse reveals (1) the unceasing activity of Jesus as he goes from place to place with a desire to spread his influence as widely as pos- sible (2) his eagerness proclaim the divine message of salvation so that he may relieve people of the bur- den of fear and ignorance, and teach them concerning the love and forgive- ness of God; (3) the infinite compas- Sion of his heart in that he cured every ,case of sickness that was brought to nim, thus showing that he was looking forward to a time whey the ignorance, sin and sorrow of the world would be all overcome. No one ever had as pure and lofty a hope fu,. the race as Jesus. V. 36. The tender heart of Jesus was stirred to its depths as he saw how helpless the people we're. These hopeless and ur-happy, conditions -e- minded him. of two things in nature. They are like a flock of sheep that have lost their shepherd, and are at the mercy of every foe that may at- tack them. V. 37. The other figure is taken from the corn fields. The harvest is white and ready for the sickle, but there are no reapers, so that this rich grain is going to ruin. See John 4: 35. V. 38. The only hope rest; with God the Father, and they must pray to him that he may send forth laborers into the harvest. II. THE MISSION OF THE TWELVE, ch. 10: 1-8. V. 1. The call of the Twelve is men- tioned in Hark 3: 13, and there are three reasons assigned there for this choice: (1) That they might be with him. He wished these men to get to know hien, so that they might trust him in all the difficult situations that might arise. If only they will keep their faith in him, they will Lot fail. '(2) That he might send them forth to preach. They were to carry forward the great teaching work of their Mas- ter. The kingdom of God. must have workers who were informed on the ,principles of Jesus. (3) That they might have power over sickt est,. They were to be healers as well as preach- er..., and thus must assure people that it was God's desire that some day all trouble and suffering would vanish from the earth. The mission of the Twelve, therefore, included in its scope both body and s,,ul. V. 2. These men were sometimes called Apostles. The word was after- ward used in a wider sense. Paul 'was one of the Aunties. also. Barabas and others. These twelve are mentioned four times in the New Testament, Matt., Mark 3: 16; Luke 6: 14; Acts 1: 18. They fall into three divisions of four each, but the order is not al- ways the same in each division. Peter is always the first and Judas the lust. Soma of them, such as Peter and John, are often mentioned, and we know. much about them, but there are others of whom ewe • lenow little except the iname. They were all taken from the com- mon people. and if we wonder why Jesus did not select some from thehe more educated and noble classes, per- haps the answer would be that Jesus had to choose from those wile offered themselves. Not many rich were call- • ed. The marvelous fact is that Jesus was able to take :such ordinary ma- terial and prodt.ce such greed pillars results, for these men because the pi the church. Orly one was an utter failure; though it remains a• mystery how Judas,came to make so disastrous a fall. V. 8. Bartholomew is probably to be identified with Nicodemus. Lebbaeus, Thatddeus, and Jude the son of James are all names for the same person. V. 4. Simon the Canaanite is also called the Zealot. V. 5. Now comes the address to -thesemen charge which Jesus gives before they go out on their important task. It is a long discourse1.and in- cludes much helpful advice, while it is also filled with the promise of help. V. 6. He fixes the limit of their ir1 hors.

It is not that. It is not our es- cape from what has been badly done in the past, it is our opportunity for doing well In the future. Our tradition has been that difficul- ties spur us to great actions, and, if we think of our difficulties now, it should be in that light that we thick of them, for the greatest actions of the British people still lie ahead.
