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.
