EUB 9< R1PTION R/TES: One Year $1.00 Elx Months .... .75 Three Months .50 M __ ^rmon . t REV. ROBERT H. HARPER T Jesus Teaches True Greatness. Lesson for February 20: Mark 9: 30—10:45. Golden Text: Mark 10:45. Several important teachings of the leson are found in both the first and latter parts of the text, chief exceptions being the teach ing concerning divorce and the incident of the rich young ruler. While in other instances Jesus approved divorce from an adulter ous mate, in this instance He recognized no ground whatever, and indicated that marriage is ordained by God. The rich young ruler had kept the letter of the law but had missed the spirit en tirely. He had lived for himself alone—every day breaking the law of love. In the first section of the text we read of Jesus setting a child in the midst of the disciples; in the second, of His taking children into His arms and blessing them. How strikingly does He remind us of the possibilities of the children among us! Peter showed a bargaining spirit when he reminded Jesus that he and his fellows had left all to follow Him. Jesus assured him that no one who had given up much would fail to receive manifold more in this present world, and in the world to come, life everlasting. TLe selfish striving of the dis ciples for chief places and the request of James and John and the indignation of the ten, led Jesus to teach the disciples con cerning true greatness. It comes in great service. And the Lord in vited attention to Himself as an example of unselfish service. Let us make Him our own ex ample.
