After Pilate had scourged Jesus he “Because it will not leave us alone.” delivered Him to be crucified. In other words, the Book is perhaps 1.

We are told of his conclusion. “Of the residue he mak- eth a god, even ids graven image; he falleth down unto it and worshipeth it and prayeth unto it and saith, “De liver me, for thou art my God.” What selfishness is here displayed! to what low ideas and ideals this otherwise sagacious and thoughtful man must confess! Truly this Book does not leave this man alone. We will not much longer discuss him. Perhaps he did not know better. In fact, our account plainly states. “He did not understand.” Poor fel low! We will leave him to God—the good, understanding God. Out of his sad plight we may de duct a principfe—that, as a rule, hu manity gives to God the least and last pjoce. T quote a verse I saw hanging upon a doctor’s wall, which aptlv phrases this principle in quaint form: God and the doctor wf alike adore. Both at the brink of danger, not be fore; The danger past, both are alike re quited, God Is forgotten and the doctor slighted. Poverty, distress, panic, are fre quently the things which cause us to llee to God. However, ohservaiion and experience lead us to notice He is too soon forgotten in our wealth, relief and composure. I recall a sentence spoken bv a woman who bravely suffered, endur ing a disgraceful trial brought on by sin and shame: “When we were poor and unknown, my husband and I were led to God; but, dear man, be come rich, he was tempted and lured away by sin, questionable methods and companions." How tragic and fearful the truth! We teach our children to be un selfish, courteous, generous and thoughtful, to think of others who are tbeir elders and superiors, to ob serve the social amenities, not to be forgetful of those who have been kind and considerate to them. Therefore, should not we who have a great reve lation of God, an Intimate knowledge of His love toward us. His children, apply the same rules in dealing with Him? His affection for us has often been demonstrated. His readiness to rescue us has frequently been experi enced. His willingness to forgive and forget awakens in our hearts a desire to treat Him right and put Him first The Psalmist four times in one brief Psalm repeats: “Oh, that men would praise God for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men.” He does not judge us or censure us if we fail, but is pleased if we attempt our best for Him. Let us not therefore give Him the residue of our devotion, money, time or fellowship. Let us give Him the best. He deserves It; He expects ft. What charity have we selfishly de nied? Of what forgetfulness are we guilty? What kindness have we neg lected? W’hat is making us forget our first love and promise to God? Are we like this man in the story, using the best for our protection, sus tenance, ambition and giving Him the “residue,” the useless limbs and twigs of our life? Why not give Him the best? Remember the conclusion of Jesus: “When ye shall have done ALL things which are commanded you, say ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done that which was our duty to do.’ *’ Give Jesus the best, your very beat. As once In the days of old One brought of her best to the Mas ter’s feet Her tribute of love untold. II. Jesus Crucified (vv. 21-41). 1. They led Him away to the place of crucifixion (vv. 21-23). At first they compelled Him to bear His own cross, but when physical weakness made this impossible, they compelled Simon, the Cyrenian, to bear .It for Him. It is beautiful to note that the son of tills Cyrenian came to believe on Jesus (cf. Rom. 16:13). In r’! prrbr.l.Iiity his being compelled to bear the cross was the means of his own salvation. Christ’s face was so marked by the thorns and cruel blows that “there was no form or comeliness” (Isa. 53:2) All this He endured for us. He drank tlVs bitter cup to its very dregs, but refused to drink “the wine mingled with myrrh,” which would have dead ened His pain. 2. Gambling for the clothing of the Lord (vv, 24, 25). Having nailed Him to the cross they gambled for the seamless robe under the very cross on which He was dying :*.::d in their 'heartless cruelty they sat down to watch Him die (Matt. 27:36). 3. The superscription (v. 26). It was customary to place over the victim on the cross the name and crime of the offender. Though Pilate did this in mockery to vex the Jews, the title was absolutely true. lie was indeed their king. 4. Between two thfeves (vv. 27, 28). This added to His shame. His identification with the two robbers was t.he fulfillment of the Scripture “and he was numbered with the transgres sors” (Isa. 53:12). 5. The dying Savior reviled (vv. 29-32). Tliis reviling was engaged in by the passer-by, the chief priests and the thieves who were crucified with Him. In tills nameless agony and shame they taunted Him by bidding Him come down from the cross, derisively saying, “He saved others, Himself he cannot save.” He could not save Him self and others, so He chose to die to save others. 0. Darkness upon the land (v. 35). This was at noonday. So shocking was this crime that nature threw around the Sou of God a shroud to hide Him from the gaze of a godless company. 7. The cry from the cross (vv. 34-36). When God laid upon Christ, His Be loved Son, the world’? sin and turned His face from Him, there went out the awful cry of anguish, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” 8. He dismissed His spirit (v. 37). When tne price of our redemption was fully paid, Jesus dismissed His spirit. No one took His life away from Him. He gave it up. 9. The rent veil (v. 38). Thi? symbolized the giving up of His life (Heb. 10:20). 10. The Centurion’s confession (v. 39). He said, “Truly this man was the Son of God.” 11. The lingering group of women (vv. 40, 41). They who had lovingly ministered to Him in life were waiting to see where they could bury His precious body. 12. Jesus*’ burial (vv. 42-47). Loving hands now took the precious body and laid it In Joseph’s new tomb. This man, who did not consent to the foul treatment of the Lord, now risked his reputation and by his ac tion makes a bold confession of the Lord.
