C. / THE BAPTISM OF JB8U8 The baptl^ of Jesus, says Dr. Broadtis, marks the transition from the ministry of John to that of Jesus himself. Mark gives a' brief account of the event (1:9-11) and so does Luke (3:21-22). John I apparently makes a htTef alluaion to it (3:26). It is interesting to I note the account of the baptism as I Matthew describes it. John seemed at first utterly unwilling to ad minister the ordinance to Jesus ("was hindering him”). "I have need to be baptized by thee, and ^hou comest to me!”, he said- To John, such an act on his part would call for unworthy conde- -ension on the part of Jesus, a su- .nerior personage. It just could it be permitted to happen that vay. Nevertheless, Jesus Impelled 'ojm to baptize him, just as he had baptized others. “Suffer NOW that I take the position of Inferior ity to thee by receiving baptlpm it thy haads; the time has dot ^et come for me to assume nfiy destined position” (Broadus). In •^he end, John yielded and bap tized him. What was the significance of our Lord’s baptism? In what re spect was it proper for him to fol low in the footsteps of other de vout Jews in the observance of the sacred rite of baptism? Many theories have been presented in answer to this question. There have been those who held that the baptism of Jesus served as a sort of consecration to the office and work of the Messiah. Others hold that “in baptism he was conse crated as priest". But as Dr. Broadu^ points out, “Jesus was .notjitmnlly a priest. He had no connection whatever with the priestly line, and he did not do the work of a Jewish priest”. Dr. Broadus suggests that for those who do not insist on carrying back the Pauline doctrine of imputed righeousness the simple and na tural view is that “It was proper for all devout Jews to be baptized; therefore it was proper for Jesus. If one so deeply, though hitherto quietly devout had stayed away from the ministry and baptism of the new prophet, it would have Opl. Quince B. (Ned) Nich- ob has returned to Port Jack- son, S.

Finally, Jesus was tempted to “win tiie world by adopting the methods of the world”, that is to say, by bo^ng to the whims and fancies of the worldy multitudes. The tempter, says Dr. W. H. Davis, was offering to make Jesus pop ular with the .world if he would only go his way. Everything would be his if he would only fall d(Mh aad iroHiilp him.

Notwithstanding the pecu liar mission of John and Jesus, it was becoming that they should fully perform everything right eous”. We take it to be unnecessary to discuss in the brief compass of this lesson the mode of Jesus’ baptism. The word “baptize” sig nifies “to immerse”, ‘‘to dip”. The word baptize is in reality an untranslated Greek word. It is what We would call an anglicized Greek word. It would have been much better and saved much theo logical controversy had the early English versions substituted the word "immerse” for the word “baptize”, or even the word "dip”. Paul in his letter to the Romans (Chapt 6:1-11) sh?ds no little light on the rite of baptism as he understood it. It is a symbolic ordinance given to the church and to be observed by every believer. It sets forth in symljolie manner the resurrection .of, the dead, the resurrection of Jesus, and the new life of the believer here and now in Christ’s name. .. .« * KING OF m COWBOYS...

BEAUTIFUL COLOR FHOTO of ROY RO'CtRS To All Patroiu Monday and Tueaday THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS As Dr. W. H. Davis has pointed out, Jesus, in coming Into the world had what might be called a 3-fold relation. As Son of man, he was the human, Jesus. As Son of God. he was the Only Begotten. As Christ, He was the Messiah. It was only reasonable to expect him to be tempted at each of these points. Being both human and di vine, very God incarnate, he would face temptations at every point of his ministry that were real, just as real as the temptations that his ! followers would face' through alb' the years to come. The tempta tions that came to him in the Wilderness, therefore- are to be considered not merely as “trials” which he himself needed to face ' in order to prepare him for his holy missions; they are, in a meas ure, representative of the tempta tions that come to all men, and which shall continue to come to his followers as long as they are In the flesh. Let ns note these temptations, one by one. In the first place) Jesus w.as tempted to satisfy the reasonable, natural desires of the body- In an unnatural manner, thus setting at naught the glory of the incarna tion: “And the tempter came and said unto him. If thou are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread”. Jesus had fasted j for forty days and was conse-, quently subjected to the natural 1 pangs of hunger, as would any man who had not eaten for so long a time. No doubt the tempter felt that it would be a most ex cellent time to thwart the mission of Jesus. Maybe he could be caught off guard In his moment of 1 -nt hunger. After all, if he ero really the son of God and, had the power that he claimed to have, why should ha wait to min- liter to- Rje natural needs of his body in a natpral wa^ Would not a mere spoken word produce bread in abundance? Jasnz an swer was clear and simple: “Bot he answered and said, "It is writ ten, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every woni that proceedeth-out of the mouth of God”. In other words, Jesus re fused to put the material above the spiritual, and to set a pattern for his followers that they them selves could not observe, and which would deliver him from suf ferings that they must endure. Ag^in, Jesus was tempted to use his relation to the Father in such manlier as to spare himself the common perils of life. In ahoi^t. he was tem-ted to resort to magic! Buy More Boads!
