SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSOJI JESUS SENTENCED TO DEATH International Sunday School Lesson For June 5 Memory Selection; "Christ when he was, reviled, he, did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten." I Peter 2:21-23. Lesson Text: John 19:1-16. The student will notice that while we have .been studying the Gospel of ' Mark since the first of the year, the account of the trial and sentencing to death of Jesus is taken from the Gos ' ' pel of John, because the Apostle John ' gives amore detailed account, having been present for some, if not all, of the proceedings, probably being the disciple "who stood afar off." Immediately, after the arrest of Jes us in the Garden of Gethsemane, he was hurried before a group of Sand . herists who had been hastily summon ed together bv the chief Priest. Since a formal trial could not be held at night, under Jewish law, all that could be done wa3 to hold a preliminary in vestigation, the object of which was to see what charges could be laid against the prisoner and to determine the pro cedure to be followed in order that those charges might be pressed against him.' Although they had Jesus in their power, it was not at all easy for them to decide what to do with him. They knew, of course, that he must die but they also knew that there must be charges brought against him which would make him guilty, of death and that these charges would have to be proved so that the Roman Governor would pronounce the sentence of death upon him. - Then there were the people to take into consideration. It being the time of the celebration of the passover, Jerusalem was filled with religious pilgrims from all over Palestine and among them were the Galileans and these Galileans were proud of this prophet of theirs'. True, Judas had told them, that this Jesus had claimed to beH-tong-, promised Messiah of the Jews and while this claim had not been made public in so many words, Jesus had acted with t ithe authority of the Lord's Annointed, one of the chief reasons why the Sadducees had determined to get rid of him. To have Jesus condemned to death on the ground that ha had claimed to be the Messiah might be dangerous. Therefore, they must have him sen tenced on a ground Which would con demn him in the eyes of the people. They decided to bring charges against him of having assailed the temple, which, in the minds of the people, was blasphemy indeed. Didn't he predict that the beloved edifice would soon be destroyed ? They seized upon this prophecy, twisted it and secured two false witnesses who would testify that Jesus had claimed that he could des troy1 the temple and, dn three days, build it again. Realizing that they could not take Jesus before Pilate on a charge of blasphemy, they trumped up a political charge, that he claimed to be the King of the Jews. Pilate was in a difficult position for a politician. He was not a bad man, nor a immoral one, but he was a poli tician, having to keep the Jews satis fied, on the one hand and the Romans satisfied on the other. Therefore, , he found himself in the position of being unable to take sides in thia matter. If he refused to condemn this prisoner, whom he knew to be really innocent of the charges brought against him, he would infuriate the ruling class of the Jews. If this brought about a rebell ion, then he would be in disfavor with Caesar, in Rome. Wanting to do 1 right, iut weakly submitting Jto the wrong, Pilate, played politics with the life of Jesus, keeping his office but crucifying his savior! . So, in the end, the Sadducees had their way. Led by them, the crowds shouted: "Crucify him, crucify him I" And when Pilate asked them, "Shall I crucify your King?'! the chief priest answered, "We have no king but Cae sar.'' Then, John tells, "Therefore, he delivered him rata them to be cruci fied." " . . ..."''' V'1 ' Henry Ward Beecher apiy reminds us, "He who goes about mourning and saying, 'It is too bad, but I Owdo ; nothing to prevent it'- is a Pilate. BE A BETTER CITIZEN! GO TO SOME CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY v. ... J . A gift for the graduate! What shall it be? A pen, a watch, clothes, money? Yes, any of these gifts will bring joy to the young graduate. And so it's just a matter of choice. We make our purchase, and see that the package is delivered with our congratulations. It is natural and right that we should yield to these generous impulses. But at a time when young people bein their own careers, with their own de cisions to make, we should see that they are fortified with gifts that make for character and good living. At this turning point in life, we should do all in our power to help them establish their careers upon the strong foundations of godliness, love, honesty, charity, and friendship. Let us give our graduates gifts of lasting quality. By example and advice let us teach them the merits of Christian living. Let us bring them with us to our ctoutches, where they will find the greatest gift of all the gift of God's love. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church i the greatest ac tor on earth tor the building of Character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. Ther are four sound reasons why every person should oitend services regularly and sup Port the Church. They ore: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children s sake. (3) For the sake ot his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support.
