International Sunday School Lesson
for May 8, 1988
Golden Text: "For he that is
not against us is for us." Mark
:40. '
Lesson Textt Mark 9:30-41
Perhaps nothing makes us realize
more fully the fact that the disciples
whom Jesus had chosen were plain,
every-day human beings Just like you
and I than their inability to under
stand the things which Jesus was
trying to tell them on this journey
from Caesarea, Phillippi, through
Galilee. They had accepted Jesus as
the long-promised Messiah and were
thinking of him in terms of a political
hero and leader who would, somehow,
perhaps by the display of his mira
culous power, deliver them from the
bonds of the Romans and restore the
glory of ancient Israel. This con
ception did not jibe at all with what
Jesus was telling them now that he
would "be delivered into the hands of
men, and they shall kill him, and af
ter that he is killed, he shall rise the
third day."
Is it any wonder to 'you that the
disciples did not understand that say
ing? Under the same circum
stances, would you have understood
his meaning? They could not asso
ciate their conception of a Messiah
with the thought of sacrifice and
death and resurrection. To us. look-.
ing backward, the meaning of Jesus'
?words is as clear as light, but we
f- awa the advantage of the disciples I
i in' this respect. After the Resume-
- 'i.tloB.'flre disciDles themselves realized :
what Jesus had been talking about.
While they were walking along the
road, the disciples began arguing
(contending) among themselves.
Jeans realised that there was a spirit
rf contention among them, but appar
'nBy ignored it until they reached
' CapermRHn. When they had estab-"'-
ll'sbes' themselves in a house, which
" apparently they used as headquar
ters, Jesus asked them, "What was it
that ye disputed among yourselve3
y the way?" Realizing how very'

"little' they had been to have argued
such question ; among themselves
while their Master had been concern
ed with the prospect of his coming
death, the disciples could not answer.
"Things change their aspect when
we view" them in the presence of
Jesus," declared J. D. Jones. "We,
too, fret and fume, if we feel our
proper place is not given to us. We
grow hot and jealous about rank and
position and the rest of it. But how
mean and petty it looks when we
bring it into the presence of Jesus!
It would do us good to bring our am
bitions and desires and plans con
stantly into the presence of the lowly
Jesus, and test them there."
It wasn't necessary for Jesus to
ask what they had been disputing
about. He already knew but he
wanted them to realize their little
ness and to teach them a lesson they
needed to learn a lesson of humility
and service. Who shall be the great
est? What does it really matter if
we fail to attain greatness as the
world judges greatness? Our real
concern should be to attain greatness
in the eyes of God and the only way J
we can do that is to become as "one
who serves."
In order to bring home more forci
bly the lesson of humility and unsel
fish service, Jesus took a little child
in his arms and declared, "Whosoever
shall receive one of such children in
my name, receiveth me: and whoso
ever shall receive me, receiveth not
me, but him that sent me." Of this
' Charles E. Erdman says, "To care
for a little child or for one who, like
little child, needs our sympathy,
protection and guidance, and help is
really doing a great thing; so great
indeed, that to do so in the name of
Christ and for the sake of Christ is
really to render the service to Christ
True greatness, then, consists not in
attaining the first place in the notice
and praise of the world, not in being
willing to stoop down to a humble
place, not for the sake of self-effacement,
not in timid digidence, but in
order to serve others for the sake of
Christ."
John evidently realized what Jesus
meant here which made him think of
something he had done. He told
Jesus that he and the other discples

THINKING OF MOTHER

I shall always think of Mother.
When there's springtime in the air.
When hyacinths and buttercups
(daffodils)
Are blooming everywhere.
When robins carol sweetly ft.
High np in budding trees rK
And the scent of purple lilacs , '
Is wafted on the breeze. f
When on' the wooded hillsides ,
Young fern fronds shall uncurl, ,.
And the rocky stream below them
Is in a merry whirl. '
I shall always think of Mother , , '
When summer's on the way i
Heralded ' by rosea., and iweetpea
' blossoms gay. 1
When bees sure softly humming
As they fly from flower to floweri

When graceful lilies nod their heads
And dahlia flowers appear j
I shall think of her and know
That summertime's really here.
I shall always think of Mother.
When' leaves begin, to fall
And chrysanthemufns are gathered
Into every room and hall.
When other- flowers have gone to

And many- birds have flown.
'Twas then these spicy autumn plants
Did brighten up iter home i :
When wintry .winds fcr blbwing.
Then she would watch and-wait
Till spring came back and ,, flowers

Would blossom at her gate. .
