Thursday, April 6, 1933 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA tHRf9| - • -iMtfs of TH STER EXECUTIVE" SwpHywf a weclc-to-wvek inspiration for tb< heary-burdened who will fand ^vcry^bumanjruj paralleled iiflbc experiences of "The Man Nobody Know*.* MASTER OF SITUATIONS In all the three years of his public work there was not one moment when Jesus failed to be complete master of the situation. He was accessible to anybody—in the market place, in the temple and on the main streets—fair game for -ihe keen and clever. It became quite a recognized sport to unatch wits with him. Pharisees tried it; Scribes tried it; “a certain lawyer” tried it. Always they came off second <best. At length the very chiefs of the priests came one afternoon. Lesser antagonists had gone down; now the leaders themselves would take the matter in hand. They would demolish this presumptuous upstart; by the splendor ‘«>f their presence and their offices, they would awe him in to line. “By what authority do you do these things,” they de manded bruskly, “and who gave you this authority?” .If they expected him to yield an inch they received the 'surprise of their lives. His retort was instantaneous. “ITl ask you a question,” he exclaimed, “and if you an- \ <3weriit, then I’ll tell you by what authority I work. Answer { me now, what about John; was his work in baptizing inspir- .cd by Heaven or by men?” They caught their breath. Their heads came together; excited and disturbing whispers were exchanged. What | should they say ? If we answer that John had come from Heaven, he will say, “Well, why didn’t you believe him?” •; if we say, that he came from men, this crowd of fools will tear us to pieces, because every last one of them believes that John was a prophet. What shall we do? Better tell him we don’t know; better get out of here as quickly as we can. We don’t know,” they muttered. All right,” said Jesus serenely. “You don’t answer my fjuestaon. Neither will I answer yours.” It was a perfect triumph. Amid the jeers of the de lighted crowd they gathered up their fine robes and went away." You would think as you read the narratives that the wise ones would have been wise enough to let him alone. £veafea child having burned its fingers once, knows enough to avoid the fire. But their jealousy and anger drove them ftackgg&inand again; and every time he was too much for them. In the very last week the “Pharisees and Herod- ians” c gathered together a picked delegation of sharp wits and sent them with what looked like an absolutely fool proof bomb. They started in with flattery; after all he was a simple fellow from the provinces—a few kind words and his head would be turned. They they would catch him off hisjguard. *41 «* Hext Week: “Render Unto Ceaser” Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co.
