INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL \ LESSON The Supreme Test of Discipleship. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.?John 13:34. The Underlying Motive. During this quarter we have examined the ten commandments in the light of the teaching of Jesus. We have noticed how the Mnuf Tnnto??A?* * * ? -?v Avawuicui/ Lcauiiug enlarges upon this ancient code. In every case the interpretation that Jesus gave was broader and deeper. The contrast Is between the old law, which looked only' to the \ thing done, and :his new law, which goes back to the- motive. Jesus declares that what Is wrong even In murder la. not only the deadly blow but also the hatred out of which it springs. So' in hlf treatment of all offenses he shows that the motive is'the'vital part of the act. It Is clear that Jesus had a high regard for this- basic .moral code of his people. I came not to destroy, buto-to - fulfill" (Matthew 5:17).' However, the em: phasls of his teaching was positive and Inward. While. the law was negative'("Thou shalt 'not") ond outward,''.he was more Interested In doing 'good than In doinf evil. He believed. that If the Inward attitude wad right, the out ward acts would be Just and fair Vjn response to an Inquiry on th( part of on?( .of -the'scribes Jesu! SlmpUfled the commandments by reducing t'hein to two positive ( principlesLove toward God an(l . Iflve toward' one's neighbor. Ht .. . felt thesf principles to be so lm' pprtant and universal that he de ctared, "On these two ; commandments the whole law hangeth" ^ THE Fl (Matthew 22:40). Was Jesus right in thus reducing all morality to such a formula? Experience indicates that he was. The only adequate fulfillment of this or any other code of conduct is through the prompting of an inward desire of motive. Slavish conformity to rules and regulations is not enough. At best it results only in an artificial goodness, which is neither attractive or genuine. Back of the code there must be a spiritual attitude of devotion so deej) that we automatically observe the requirements of the code itself. We do not need a set of laws to guarantee our proper treatment of those we love. The deep prompting of our affection fulfills all requirements. It becomes instinctive with us to promote the welfare of others and to avoid what would do them injustice on harm. Not many of us are acquainted in detail with the laws and ordinances of the community in which we live; but If we are good citizens,, we unconsciously obey them. We have an inner regard for the welfare of our neighbors, and this makes us naturally law-abiding. tin J t -i 1? ii.. -at ...c TV 11 y U1U Jl^US 1I1UKW 11H* ill'Sl and greatest commandment "Thou Shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.^and with all thy strength"? Mauy modern teachers and reformers would not agree with him in this. They insist that the most important thtpg is to secure correct human relationships. They wouhl PUt first "Thou shplt Jove they neighbor as thyself." Jesus, however, considered a right attitude toward God as the basis of all other right relationships. He believed that If people loved God, love for man would follow naturally. Was Jesus right in this particular? 1 If to love God is to love what God is?that Is .truth, goodness, beauty?then It would certainly seem that an attitude of \levotion toward these final values and meanings of life must underlie all satisfactory rations to our fellow men. On the other hand, a perfect order' of society would not guarantee perfect human relations unless there were real devotion, on the part of the individuals | who compose society, to goodness, truth, and beauty.
