A talking film to be made in England is to be recorded in three ' Irnguages. English, German and | French. The lesson topic is narrower than tiie Scripture text. It includes Christ taking account of Ilis ministry, Peter's confession, Christ's prediction eon- cerning His death and ilis teaching concerning the cost of discipleship. I. Christ, the Kir.o, Taking Account of His Ministry (vv. KMT). 1. The place (v. 13). It was at Caesarea Philippi, the northern limit of Jewish territory, practically in Gentile forritory. 2. The time in Christ’s ministry. The cross was only a few months away. The King had already been re jected. They had charged Him with being in league with the devil and sought to kill Him. It was highly im portant that the disciples have clear views as to Christ’s person in order to stand the test of Ills trial and miciiixion. 3. Peter’s confession (vv. 13-10). (1) The occasion (vv. 13-15). Two rptestlons asked by Jesus Christ pro yoked this confession, a. As to the opinion of the people concerning Him (vv. 13. 1-J). They recognized Him ns a teacher rtnd prophet of more than human authority and power. Had He been content with this, fie would not have been m<Jested in Jerusalem. It was His persistent claim of being the God-man. the very Son of God, that sent Him to tire cross, b. As to tire personal opinion of the disciples (v. 15). It was not enough for them to be able to tel! what opinion the peo ple held concerning Jesus. It was nec essary that they have definite.'correct ami personal knowledge of and belief in Him. (2) The content (v. 10). It consisted of two parrs, a. “Thou art the Christ.” This avowed Jesus to he the Messiah—the fulfiller of the Jew ish hopes and expectations, b. “The Son of the living God.” This acknowl edged Him to he divine. It was the recognition of His glorious person in keeping with the Jewish hope (Isa. 9:0, 7). 4. Ch rial's confession of Peter (v. 17). Those who confess Christ sliail he confessed by Him (Matt. 10:32, 33). Christ .pronounced a blessing upon Peter—not in the nature of reward, bur a declaration of the spiritual con dition of Peter because of his e'ear apprehension of his Lord. 5. Christ’s charge to the disciple? (v. 20). He asked them not to ie!I any man that He was the Messiah. The time was not rii»e for such testimony. II. The New Body, the Church, An nounced (vv. IS. 19). Following tiie confession of Peter. Jesus declared His intention of ’.ring ing into existence a new body, to tiie members of which He would give eternal life, and into whose hands He would entrust tiie keys of the King dom. Peter was to have a disjan guished pkiee in this body. Assoeia tion In this new body cannot bo brok en by death, *for tiie gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. III. The King Predicts His Death (vv. 21. 23). This prodiet ion was no doubt star tling to the disciples. They did not yet realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion of the cross. So unwelcome was this an nouneetnent that Peter cried. “This shall not be unto Thee.” Later Peter saw through the darkness to the sun light on tiie hilltops beyond. A new hope filled his breast (I Pet. 1:3. 4). Victory through death is yet the stumbling block of many. IV. The Coct of Disci.'Seship (vv. 24-20). Life can lie saved only by losing it. If we are going to be Christians, we must share Christ’s suffering. 1. There must be denial of self (v. 24). There is a wide difference be- rwec»c self-denial and denial of self. All people practice self-denial, hut only real disciples of Christ deny self. 2. “Take up His cross” (v. 24). This cross is the shame and suffer ing which lie in tiie path of loyalty to Christ. 3. Follow Christ (v. 24). This means to have the mind of Christ—to be like Christ. CHURCHCARDS McCormick Holiness Church Schedule McCormick —.
