SIGNS OF THE TIMES International Sunday Sehool Lesson For February 24th, 1957. Memory Selection: - ."Ye can dis cern the face of the skyi but can ye not discern the signs of the times!" x Matthew 16:3. Lesson Text: Matthew 16:1-12 TTCT Man. from time immemorial, has o oiinoi-afit.ioiis creature. To ire;v;i .... i the ancient man. a "sign in h heaven" meant either a great boon or a great disaster-reither great divine favor or, great divine dis pleasure. Man has studied the skies the stars, the sun and the moon, and also the cloud format'ons nnrf from them bus been able- to 'divine the fact that certain posi tions or the .tars, the sun or the moon meant certain happenings, - and certain cloud formations fore told certain weather conditions. j Then, it was natural that,' in Je- !sup' day, that men were still look ing for various "signs" a ur-dnv stani their moaning either from lVnnrance or from lack of desire to accent what the signs portended. At this time, Jesus' work in Gali lee was almost over. There were several reasons for this. -..First,, there was the altitude of -Herod, who believed that Jesus was John the Baptist arisen from the dead, Herod was determined to see Je sus and, to avoid him, Jesus left Galilee for a while. Then,, the Scrihes and Pharisees were very antagonistic in their attitude to ward him, and were seeking every omwrtunitv to criticize him, While I Jesus openly defied themJ4he was anxious to prevent an open break with them as long as possible. Therefore, following the feeding of the five thousand, when the rta nt.femnted to crowrt him kin", Jesus withdrew from the ' crowd, hoping to be alone with the V disciples. But they followed Him, hriniring to him their sick, tnat he mipjht heal them. Once more Jesus v fed them, this time more than four thousand and from four loaves and. a few fisnes. , ; -' All of these events only served .' to intensify the hatred of the Jew,; ish leaders and from thiawiJesus1 ' knew that his earthly ntinistry v would soon be over. Ahxiiis to I " he alqne with his disciples, so that, T, he could instruct them to carry on ' ' his ministry, he left Galilee -and " went into the country of Phenicia. ' To the Jews, this was heathen ter " ritory and the Pharisees were not expected to follow. . , ! After a while spent in this area, he was met again by the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the "two great parties of Jews of Jesus' time. The Pharisees were far more nu merous, but the. Sadducees includ ed amonnr their number a large por tion of the wealthy andS influential men, among, them many members of the Sanhedrin. While these two ! - groups differed theologically Just as fundamentalists' and modernists aq fhait, til rrwt , rran .1 ( I a ill i-ii .v vw -"- w- ... They came to him. demanding tbat they be given a "sign from heav en" to prove that he was the Mes- siah. ' - ,1 1 Jesus refused to five them the Vrt of sign tbey were demanding, but pointed to the evidence at hand I which would nrove his Messiahfhip were they willing to accept it Je sus knew that their reauest was not sincere, and he called them (. "hvpocrites." which means "actor." Often during his ministry Jesus used the same word for the religi ons leaders of his day. .- Then, after they had left, he turned to his disciples and warned them against accepting the "leav en" of the Pharisees and of the S.ndduceeq. The word "leaven" was accepted hv the disciples as a re buke by Jesus because they had forgotten to bring bread. How ever,. Jesus, disappointed at their lack of understanding, reminded them that he was not Interested, in bread. but wa warning them Jo be ware of the "teachings" and "doc trines" of .these leaders ; . Jesiw knew that these followers, of hifli had been taught front their child hood to respect these lenders and accept, oftentimes without thinking, their teachings. Thus, me ;.was The Pharisees' religion waprifnar- ll y a system of ceremonies, while the Sadducees rejected anything su pernatural, including Jesus' claim fn Ka Rnn nf (IftA nnrl nil milr. aclea which he performed through the power of God; They were proud and worldly In their adoption nf tha fnaMnna nf th flmA urn) '..V ti. yAV v ,ti " .v ' ' -.'
