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-

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.
