Sunday School lesson
H?e Way o* Tbe Servant
Mark 10:32-45
, "The Son of Man came not to be
ministered unto, but to minster, and
to give His life a ransom for many."
(Mark 10:45)
Tbe time of the event covered in
today's lesson is near the end of
Jesus' ministry. Be and His disciples
are on His final journey to Jerusalem
? and to His crucifixion. Time is now
short and there remains so much to
be Uught to His Apostles.
The place is the srea of Perea, east
of the Jordan River. He and His
followers had attached themselves to
a caravan of travelers on their way to
Jerusalem, also, for the passover
observer.
After a brief stop involving the event
of the "rich young ruler," they were
again walking toward Jerusalem.
Soon they would cross the Jordan
River, and be in Judea. Just a bit
earlier the Apostle had warned Jesus
to stay away from Judea since there
were some there who were
determined to kill Him .
Raising Lazarus from the dead had
brought the wrath of the Sadducees
down upon Him because they did not
believe in life after death.
The Apostles doubtless know of the
Sadducees' decision and that Jesus
was hastening toward certain death.

Dear friends,
Women often prove
to be more creative
financial thinkers than
men, with a talent for
detail and analysis.
In a U. of Oklahoma
investment experiment,
72% of women did
better than the Dow
Jones industripl aver
age, while only 33%
of the men did better.
Perhaps husbands and

Moreover, He wa? taking them with
Him. Verse 32 in our scripture states
that the disciples were "amazed"
and "afraid."
They were afraid of what might
happen to them. They were amazed,
astonished that Jesus would walk
head-long into this situation and not
try to avoid the certain
confrontation.
Astonished means to "wonder
without understanding." The
Apostles, as yet, did not understand
the principle of Jesus' establishing
Good's Kingdom through the role of a
"Suffering Servant." But they would
shortly.
Jesus Demonstrates The
Way of the Servant
Mark 10:32-34
The Apostles and all the disciples
still thought that the "Messiah,"
which had been foretold by the
propehts, would establish God's
Kingdom by way of a
military /politcal leadership.
He would defeat the Roman power
that they were living under and set
them free. Even though Jesus had
told them on many occasions that he
just give His life for man's freedmon
they refused to accept it.
In these verses He tells them
plainly again, and in detail even, to
the extent of how He would be treated
at the hands of His enemies. A
military /politcal victory might give
them freedom but by shedding His
blood on the cross He would pay the
debt for their sins and thus give them
salvation.
The Way of
Service Denied
Mark 10:35-41
These verses tell us a very human
story involving James and John, two
of Jesus' apostles. They were blood
related to Jesus, it is believed,
cousins, in fact, sons of Salome who
was sister of Mary, Jesus' mother.
They requested that when Jesus
came into His glory that they be
permittedto sit with Him, one on the
right hand and one on the left. They
were thinking in terms of a king on
his throne, and they would be the
second and third power next to Him.
These were places of honor and
influence. These were zealous young
men.
The Way Of
Service Demanded
Mark 10:42-45
Jesus now attempts to teach the
Apostles about His Kingdoor.
Contrary to the principle of a civfl
government where power an
authority is vested in those who hold
office, the greatest people in God^s
Kingdom would be those who were
the greatest servants.
This principle of greatness through
serving others is violently opposed ty
selfish human nature. It takes on ?
Godly quality. Jesus would again, i^
just a few days hence, demonstrate
greatness through service. ^
Easter pageant slated !
"Because I live, ye shall live also.
This is the glorious Message of
Easter." Thus begins Piney Grove
Baptist Church's fifth annual outdoor
presentation of "The Message of
Easter."
The story is the greatest ever told
and the actors and technicians are
not professional theater people, but
rather are members of the Piney
Grove Baptist Church near
Williamston.
Entering into its fifth season as a
production, the drama will be
presented Saturday and Sunday,
April 7 and 8; Friday through
Sunday, April 13 through 15; and
Wednesday, April 18 through Easter
Monday, April 23.
Performances will be each
evening. As always, there is no
admission charge.
The effort behind the drama, like
the attendance, has grown from year
to year. Having begun in 1980 with a
cast of approximately 50 people, the
1984 version of the drama will feature
a cast of approximately 130 with
another 50 to 60 people working in
technical areas.
NOTICE
By popular request, we will be
open on Sundays, beginning Mar. 25
1 2:00 NOON - 2:00 PM
and

Presented in a specially^
designed outdoor theater, th?3
audience is transportd back 200#
years to the streets of old Jerusalem*
and the surrounding hillsides.
The realism is even more evident
as the familiar story moves from
scene to scene. The drama seems to
make the audience a part of the
events rather than just observers.
A spokesman for Piney Grove has
extended an invitation to the general
public to attend any of the
performances. More informatiqn

A word from . . .
Mt. Sinai
If a woman is working and the
family needs the money she earns,
certainly it would be inconvenient,
and costly to have a baby. Does
that justify an abortion?
It is inconvenient and costly to
take care of a ten-year-old too.'
Then is it OK to kill him?
It is inconvenient and costly to,
take care of a widowed and dis
abled mother. Then shall she be"
drowned like an unwanted kitten?
Even a husband may get in the*
way at times. Shall we petition ?
the legislature to legalize husband
killing? |
"Before I formed thee in the*
womb, I knew thee; and before,
thou earnest forth out of the womb,
I sonctified thee, and I ordained*
thee a prophet unto the nations."
(Jeremiah 1:5) see also Luke
1:41-44.
Answer last week, (Rev. 6:3-4).
When did Peter deny that he knew
Jesus?
We want to answer all your
questions at Mt. Sinai. Call or visit
anytime.
