of Chicago.

Lesson for June 5
serving by personal
devotion to christ
LESSON TEXT-Mark 14:3-11. 37-31.
GOLDEN TEXT?She hath done what ihe
could. Mark 14:8.
PRIMARY TOPIC--Mary' Present to
Jesus.
JUNIOR TOPIC?Mary's Love Gift.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?
Showing Our Love to Christ.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC?
The Heart of Christian Service.
"The love of Christ conslraineth
us" (II Cor. 5:14) was the all-sufHcient
moving force back of the
greatest life of service rendered by
any man. It is this personal devotion
to the One whom we love "because
he first loved us" (I John
4:19), which makes Christianity
"different from all other religions.
Christianity alone acts through this
natural anu deep hunger of mankind
with a personalized religion
which can be a satisfying joy and
pleasure. Yet at this point Christians
fail the most and make difii
cult the work of serving Jesus. They
see religion as a job to be done, a
form to be observed, a duty to be
fulfilled" <W. R. King).
We need to renew that Hpvntinn
to Christ which expresses itself in
true worship. Proyer is too often
asking for things; praise, thanking
for things (unless we become so engrossed
with them that we forget to
return thanks); and worship, which
is a coming to God in adoration and
thanksgiving for what He is rather
than what He can give, is forgotten.
Our Heavenly father wants us to
show love toward Him. The act of
Mary was pure personal devotion
and worship, and its fragrance lives
to this day.
I. Wasted?But Eternally Saved
(vv. 3-9).
The dark hours of betrayal and
death were before our Lord. All
around Him was hostility. Even in
the inner circle of the disciples there
was misunderstanding and bickering.
Mary (to be distinguished
from the sinful woman of Luke 7)
with the quick intuition of an understanding
woman's heart knew what
He was passing through, and with a
magnificent act of love stood by Him
in the fellowship of His sufferings.
Dr. Morgan points out that it was
"an impulsive act . . . born of the
prodigality of love daring not to
calculate." In the words of verse
9, Jesus declared that the gospel
and that which this woman had
done were to "stand side by side
with each other forever. That keen
intuition of love, that uncalculating
outpouring of love, was Godlike, and
an act in fellowship with the act
of God by which a world is re
deemed."
Judas, who was a thief, said she
had wasted money that should be
used for the poor (John 12:6). The
other disciples thought well of his
argument and murmured againsl
her. But Jesus commended her. To
! be thrifty and frugal is commendable,
but there are times when the
, heart should speak without being
silenced by the drawing of purse
strings.
II. Saved ? But Eternally Los(
(vv. 10, 11).
Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty
pieces of silver. He "made" somt
money. The fact that he did it bj
