JESUS BETRATED, DENIED AND CONDEMNED ’ lesson TEXT: Mark 14:10. 11. S3, 54. Ue-TJ: 15:11-15. golden TEXT: He la deiqyUcd and re acted of men*, a man of aorrowa. and ac quainted with (rief.—laalab 53 :X The time bad come! Jesus was about to be condemned and cruci fied; and though sinful men thought thus to rid themselves of the One who had pierced their hypocrisy and unveiled their ^mrighteousness. His death was, in the providence of God, the giving of Himself for our sins. What He endured as He went to the cross is enough to break one’s heart, for here we see the denial, betrayal and compromise of men. I. Christ Sold for Mtmey (14:10, ID* When one sees the awful things which have been done and are be ing done for money in this world, it becomes clear why the Bible re peatedly calls it “filthy lucre.” “Money! How many awful things have befen done for money. How many dishonest officials have se cured high places In government by money! How many people have lost their lifesavings because some shrewd, crooked broker Khemed to take their money away, because he wanted it. How many millions of people have been kept in poverty because men cared more to increase ;their wealth than they did to relieve the distress of those who worked for them . . . Money is what keeps the dance halls going; a lust for money is what keeps our breweries emd di^ tilleries open; it is money that makes men want to produce lascivi- I piB/S emo uiuumi pimitrc* ^vf* * M. Smith). Fundamentally, it was the love of money that made Judas betray his Lord. “What will ye give me?” was his question (Matt. 26:15). But money is not the only price -with which men may Wb find next— II. Christ Deserted for Comfort (14:53, 54). Peter would not have risen to the I suggestion that he sell his Lord for money, so Satan was too smart to stir his loyalty by such a suggestion. I He used another method with Peter. Things had become very difficult [for our Lord. He was led away to The falsely accused and subjected to jpersecution. It was no longer com- rfortable to be at His side, as it had Ibeen when He fed the multitude and jhealed the sick, and silenced His lenemies. This was cold unpleasant business. |Why should Peter get mixed up in it? After all he could jUsl a'S well \eep a safe distance, and besides it |was warm at the fire. Oh, yes, the enemies of the Lord had kindled it |and stood around it, but that didn’t leed to make Peter an enemy of Iis—or -did it? How many Christians who would leet with hasty and courageous de- Tia! the suggestion that they sell their ^rd, have betrayed Him by “varming themselves at the fires of lis world. HI. Christ Denied fer Fear (14: m Peter, the staunch defender of our ord, who had assured Him that no natter how cowardly the others night be, he would stEmd fast (Mark now quails before a servant ^aid. He curses and swears to try 5 strengthen his words of denial. What had happen^ to Peter? . treedme io at home by the fire bf the enemies of his Master that ps was afraid to confess his rela- honship to Him. He had fbHowed V) far oft that He had lost toudt ^ith the Lord, and was again like he Peter who on another day looked bway from the Master’s face and peared the boisterous waves (Matt |4;30). I Peter was afraid, and be denied ’■> Lord. How many ttiere are who ' like him. They tremble before unbelieving world, and tearing scoffing of poor, weak, sinful “en, they deny their Lord- It is time that Christian neoide courage and stood up fSTK ord in all times and circuna- lances. ~ ' IV. Christ Coodemned IM Cea- >enieBce (15:1M5). [^^®te found no fault in Christ. He jd no desire to condemn Him. He pnted to set Him free. But It Toved to be politically inexpedi- “t. To stand by his convictions hnceming this* innocent, person fould have greatly inconvenienced ™ in many ways. So “wishing to ^tent the multitude” he delivered p*u* to be icourged. and crucified.
