U F1TZWATER. D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©. 19 28. Western Newspaner Union.) Lesson for January 22 JESUS AND THE LAW LESSON TEXT—Mark 2:18-3:6. GOLDEN TEXT—Think not that 1 am come to destroy the law. or the prophets. I am not come to destioy but to fulfill. PRIMARY TOPIC—Doing Good on the Lord's Day. ‘ JUNIOR TOPIC—How to Use the Lord's Day. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC— How Jesus Obeyed the Law. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC-—Jesus Declares the Higher Law I. Jesus and Fasting (vv. 18-22). 1. The questions asked (v. 18). The scribes and pharisees seeing Jesus eating wit^ the publicans and siqners, raised the question as to why He did so. When Jesus heard their question He declared. “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but / they that are sick.” Another question was then asked as to why Christ’s disciples did not fast when the disciples of John and of the phar isees did fast? John the Baptist was now in prison, therefore his disciples were mourning for him. 2. -Christ’s answer (vv. 19, 20). * In explanation He raised the ques tion, “Can the children df the bride- chamber fast while the bridegroom is 1 with them?" He then declared that as long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast. The time will come, however, when they wduld fast. He is now away. Fasting, therefore, is appropriate; 3. New Wihe in old bottles (vv. 21, 22). The bottles mentioned here were 'made of skfos of animals. In the fer mentation of the wine there was ex pansion which stretched the skin. To put new %\lne in the bottle after it was stretched would cause It to be rent asunder when ferfhentathoh took place. The same thing in principle would be realised if new cloth were used on old garments. The teaching designed was to show (he foolishness of imposing old customs on the new age. It. The Disciples Plucking Ears of Corn on the Sabbath (Mark 2:23-28). L .The charge made against flip dis ciples (vv. 23, 24). Perhaps they yrere oh their tlray to the- synagogue td worship when they plucked the eafe of corn. For this acf the pharisees accused them of lawlessness. 2. Jesus defends them against the • harge (vv. 25-28). ($> He cites a precedent (w. 25, 26). Ho showed them that the very law ^ which they charged the disciples with breaking recorded the fact that David the great king of Israel had gone Into the house of God and eaXCn the bread which slioqld be eulen only by the priests. (2) He shows the nature of a Sab bath law (v. 27). \ The Sabbath was made for man, therefore its right use Is to be deter mined by the good oi man. The laws of honesty, truth, purity and love dif fer from the law of the Sabbath and there is no circumstance or condition under which they may be departed from. (3) Jesus is the Lord of the. Sab bath (v. 28). It was He who instituted it when creation was finished, therefore He had a right to use It as it pleased Him for man’s good. III. Jesus Healing a Man's Withered Hand on the Sabbath (3:1-6). 1. The place—the synagogue (v. 1). Jesus’ example shows what He did on the Sabbath. He went to the place of worship. The presence of the man with a withered hand gave Jesus an opportunity to administer a rebuke to the pharisees. 2. The pharisees watching (v. 2.) They knew that Jesus would be In terested In this helpless man. They surmised that some work would have to be performed to heal him. 3. The man made an example (v. 3). Jesus wanted the case to be open to all, so He commanded the man to jtand forth where all could see him. 4. The question asked (v. 4). “Is it lawful to do good on the Sab bath day, or to do evil, to save life, or to kill?” He made the issue clear; He plainly showed them that to fail to do good, to show works of mercy, to save life, is to be guilty of wrong doing, even of murder. 5. The man healed (v. 5). Christ healed him by speaking the Word, so they could not accuse Him. 6. The result (w. 4, 6). The pharisees were silenced. There was no ground upon which to accuse Him. But since their hearts were bent upon His destruction they sought how they might put Him to death.
