CHRISTMAS FEATURE Growing Opposition to Jesus (Editor's note: This is the fourth In a aeries of six articles appearing In The Cherokee Scout, condensed from Charles L. Allen's new book, THE LIFE OF CHRIST, copyrighted by Fleming H. Revell Company. Used by per mission.) And on the Sabbath day Jesus walked through cornfields. His disciples were hungry and began to pull some ears of corn to eat. When the Pharisees saw It, they dais to him, "Behold, thy disciples do that which Is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day." He said to them, "Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungered and they that were with him; bow he entered Into the house of God, and did aat the shew breed, which was not lawful for him K> eat, neighler for them that were with him. but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests In the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? But I say into you that In thla place Is one greater than the temple. But If ye had known what this meaneth. I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have comdemned the guiltless. And be added, "The sabbath was made for man. and not man for the sabbath: therefore the Son of man Is Lord also of the sabbath." It happened on another Sabbath that he went Into the synagogue and aught. Present was a man whose right hand was withered. The scribes and Pharisees watched to see If he would heal on the sabbath so that they might have an accusation against him. He understood their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, "Rise ig>, and stand forth In the midst," The man rose and came forward. Then Jesus said to them "1 will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or so destroy It? Looking around at all of them, he said to the man. "Stretch forth thy hand." He did so and his hand was resered like his other one. They were filled with rage and the Pharisees plotted with the Herodlans as to how they might destroy him. Some scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came to him. When they saw some of his disciples eat bread with unwashed hands, they criticized them. The Pharisees and all the Jews held to the tradition of the elders which was never us eat until they had washed their hands. Also, they took great care to wash cig>s, pots, and other vessels, even tables. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, "Why walk not thy desdples according to the tradition of the eld ers, but eat bread with unwashen hands?" He replied to them "Well hath Esais prophesied of you hypocrites, as it Is written: This people honoured! me with their lips. But their heart is far from me. Howbelt In vain do they worship me, Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do." Then his disciples came and said to him, "knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?" But he answered, "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the Mind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall Into the ditch." There was a man named Lazarus who was sick. He was the brother of Mary and Martha, who lived In Bethany. The sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest Is sick." When Jesus heard that, he said, "This sickness Is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby." When Jesus came to Bethany, he found that Lazarus had already been burled. Martha went to meet Jesus while Mary remained in the house. Martha said, "Lord, If thou hadst been here, my brother had not died." Jesus answered, "Thy brother shall rise again." Martha said to him. "I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth In me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believe th In me shall never On the way to the grave, Mac Joined them. Like her sister, she also said, "If thou hadst been here, my brother had not died." Jesus sighed deeply and came to the grave. It was a cave and a stone lay In front of it. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, said to him, "Lord, by this time he sdnketh: for he hath been dead four days." Jesus said to her, "Said I not unto thee, that. If thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?" | Then they took the stone away from the grave. Jesus lifted f ig> his eyes and said, "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou he ares t me always; but because of the people which stand by I said It, that they may believe that thou hast sent me." When he had said this, he raised his voice and said, "Lazarus, come forth." The dead man came out, with his hand and feet wrapped In burial linens, and his face wrapped In a napkin, Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go." Then many of the Jews who had come to be with Mary and saw the things which Jesus did, believed In him. But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. From then on they plotted to put him to death. ONLY YESTERDAY 30 YBAM AGO mi Mr*. Baa hi , Mix Gladys Pal first of Ota week visiting la Ashevlll*.
