X.- Ills Reception (v, 38), Martha was the head of the home, therefore She received him.. It would be a fine . thing if all homes were open? to re­ ceive Jesus. 2. Mary Sitting at. Jesus’ Feet (v, 89). She, of flue spiritual discern­ ment, knew, that sitting-at the Lord’s feet and hearing Els Word was that Which would please him most. ' 3. Martha Cumbered About Much Serving ,(v. 40),: Roth, sisters loved the Lord. I t would he impossible to say which loved the more; but Martha was bent on providing a fine, meal for Him. She was trying to do so many things that she was on the verge of distraction. Tfais ha'd so completely got on hhr nerves that she, found fault with Jesus tor permitting Mary to leave the kitchen to listen' to His teaching. 'Hot only did, she criticize her sister ahd Jesus, but she assumed the authority to command Him to send Mary back to the kitchen to help. 4. 'Jesus’ Answer (w. . 41 ,. 42, (1)- Rebuked Martha (v. 41). He did this tenderly, for He knew that she loved Him sincerely. • (2J_, Defends Mary (v. 42). He declared that but one thing was needful, and that Mary had chosen th it good part which could not he taken awhy from her. li. Jesus'Among Foe* (11:14-23; 29- 8 ?; 37-54). • . „ 1. Charged With Being in League With the Devil (w, 14-23). Being un­ willing to receive (Him as the Son of God ,1 and yet unable to, account for His mighty worksi.-nhey declared He’ Whs casting out demons through Reel- zebuh, tile chief of demons./ Jesus exposed the fallacy of their reasoning by showing that irS that case Satan would he, arrayed against himself, and therefore would destroy his own king­ dom. ,2. Refused to Believe His Miracles' (vv. 29-82). They asked for, a sign, to which He replied that.they would have a sign from heaved in His death ahd resurrection. Hb reminded them, however, ,that their request showed unbelief surpassing that oi the heath­ en queen of the South, and the Wicked people .of Nineveh. '» 3, Wickedness Denounced (W. 37- 54). He pronounced six woes upon those who, were opposing Him and seeking His destruction. ’ (1) The Pharisees (vv. 37-41), These He denounced for (a) punctil­ iously observing some minute rites and' at the same time breaking, the Ten Commandments, They Tarefully tithed the small herbs of the garden while practicing injustice to their fellow-- men and withholding love, from God. He pointed out to them the folly of attending to these external acts while the heart was filled with wickedness. (b) Desiring public recognition (r, 43). This is a common sin today. (c) For feigning humility (v. 44). He compares *their hypocrisy to graves Which are on a level with the ground and may he stepped upon unconscious­ ly by someone, and thus defiled. We can avoid those who make their van­ ity known by boasting, but some ate filled with this same wickedness who do not thus make it known. (2) The Lawyer# (vv. 43-54).*Jesus' strictures on the hypocritical Phari­ sees aroused the lawyers, one of whom indignuntly declared: “Xop are insult­ ing us also." In replying to this Christ pronounced three woe# upon them; (a) for placing burdensome re­ quirements upon the people to which they themselves Would not surnblt (r. 40). (h) For the murder of God's prophets (vv. 47-51), Ho showed that their attitude toward Him was the Same that was shown to the prophets by their fathers, (c) For keeping back the knowledge of God by false interpretation of the Scrip­ tures (vv. 52-54). There is no Wickedness perhaps so great as that of supposed teachers of God’s Word who i keep its pr .lou# truths from the people by perverting Its meaning. h mmmm 'itSMl.- 8**k V*.
