 "Then took Mary ~~~ ointment of spikenard, ~~~ and

anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair."

John 12.3.

THREE of the chief friends of our Lord Jesus lived at Bethany, which
was a village near Jerusalem, just on the other side of the Mount of
Olives.

Their names were Martha and Mary, and their brother Lazarus.

Jesus often went to their home when He was staying at Jerusalem, and
they loved Him very much, and He loved them dearly, too.

Only a little time before our Lord Jesus died on the Cross, and while He
was some distance away from Bethany, Lazarus was taken very ill, and
his sisters sent in haste to Jesus to beg Him to come and heal their
brother.

But our Lord Jesus waited for two whole days before He set out to their
help. And you must hear why.

This was not because He did not care about their trouble: Oh, no! But He
had a great reason in staying away.

He knew that Lazarus was dying, and He intended to come and raise him
from the dead!

And when Jesus reached Bethany, Lazarus had died, and had been buried
four days before.

When Martha had the news that Jesus was coming, she hastened to meet
Him, and in her grief she exclaimed, "Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my
brother would not have died!"

But Jesus told her that her brother should rise again; and that He,
Himself, was the Resurrection and the Life: and He said that if only she
would believe, she should see the glory of God!
And when Jesus came to the grave, and they rolled away the big stone,
then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said: "Father, I thank Thee that Thou
hast heard Me. And I knew that Thou hearest Me always: but because of
the people which stand by I said it!" ... And when He had thus spoken,
He cried with a loud voice: "Lazarus, come forth."

And Lazarus came out of the grave, and they unbound his grave clothes,
and he was alive again.

So Martha did see "the glory of God!"

From this time, many of the Jews determined to destroy Jesus; and
would gladly also have put Lazarus to death.

Not long after this, Simon the leper, who lived at Bethany, made a feast
for Jesus.

Martha helped to serve the guests, but Lazarus sat down to the table with
the Lord.

Many Jews were also guests, who came, not only to see Jesus, but to see
Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

Then, as Jesus sat at supper, Mary, the sister of Lazarus, brought an

alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it over His head and His
feet, and the room was filled with the lovely odour.

Some who were there were indignant at what they thought was waste,
but the Lord said, "Let her alone ... she hath done what she could; she is
come beforehand to anoint My body for the burying."

And then He added this wonderful promise—"Verily I say unto you,

'Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world,
this also, that she hath done, shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.'"
XVI. TEN THOUSAND TALENTS

MATTHEW 18.24
 TEN THOUSAND TALENTS

MATTHEW 18.24.

ONE day Peter asked Jesus how often we ought to forgive anyone who
had done us a wrong?

And our Lord told them this story—

There was a certain king, who wished to settle up his accounts with his
servants; and when he had begun to reckon with them, one was brought
before him who owed him ten thousand talents.

It was quite impossible for the servant to pay, and as he had not the
money, the king commanded that he and all his family should be sold,
and payment made.
Then the servant fell at the king's feet and besought him to have pity, and
he would try to pay it all.

And the king was sorry for him, and had compassion, and forgave every
bit of it, and set him free!

But what do you think that forgiven servant did?

He found one of his fellow-servants who owed him a hundred pence; and
he seized him, and said, "Pay me what thou owest!"

And the poor fellow-servant said, "Have patience with me, and I will pay
you all!"

But the servant who had been forgiven, would not; but cast his fellow-
servant into prison till he should pay the debt.

So the other servants were very sorry, and went and told their Lord all
about it.

And the king called that unforgiving servant, and said to him: "I forgave
thee all that debt; shouldest not thou have had compassion on thy fellow-
servant, even as I had pity on thee?"

And the king was angry, and said he would have to be punished, and to
pay the debt.

And our dear Lord Jesus adds this solemn warning to us all—

"So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your
hearts do not forgive everyone his brother their trespasses."

Now this brings us to ourselves. Perhaps you know yourselves how

difficult it is to forgive?

Now, suppose someone has done you a wrong, or you think so, and you
feel it is quite impossible for you to forgive that person: Then what is to
be done?

Go into your room, or some quiet spot, or speak to God in your heart,
and say, "Heavenly Father, I can't forgive So-and-so, but do help me to!
Do give me a forgiving spirit!"
Very soon, if you wait quietly for a few minutes, you will find softer
feelings coming into your heart. You will, perhaps, begin to find excuses
for the person who has done you the wrong.

Sometimes we can only reverently pray that beautiful prayer of our dear
Lord on the Cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they
do."

And if you do, I am sure you will find that His loving Spirit will come
into your hearts; and you will find the battle is over, and you have
forgiven, and have won the Victory.

"As Christ forgave you, so also do ye."

XVII. THE LOST PIECE OF SILVER

[LUKE 15.8]

YOU see that woman? She has lost something which she is most anxious
to find.

Yesterday she had ten pieces of silver in her hand, which she was
counting up with joy, but this morning—somehow—one was missing!
She was sure she had them all right last night!

So she looked all over the rooms, but not a trace could she find of her
piece of silver.

Her neighbours were sorry for her trouble, but when they had
sympathized with her, they returned to their own affairs.

At length, she thought of getting a light, and a broom—perhaps she

would find it that way.
And so she searched all over again; and would not allow herself to leave
off until she found it.

Then clasping her precious coin in her hand, she ran out to her
neighbours, calling to them to rejoice with her, as she had found the
piece that was lost!

And then our Lord seems to turn to His disciples, and to us now, as He
says, "Likewise I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels
of God, over one sinner that repenteth."

That woman sought until she found it! and this lesson comes home to us
to-day, as we travel along life's pathway.

Perhaps we know someone who has wandered away into wrong-doing!

That is like the coin that was lost!

We look sorrowfully round, and wonder if there is anything we can do?

And at last we take the candle and the broom, and begin to seek.

What do "the candle and the broom" mean to us?

The candle seems to me to be the Light of God's loving promises to help.

And the broom seems to me to link us with those words, "Pray without
ceasing!"

God says: "Do not stop praying till you find the one that was lost is
brought back to God!"

And then our dear Lord's words come back to us again: "I say unto you,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that
repenteth."
XVIII. THERE AROSE A GREAT STORM

MARK 4.37
 "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves

beat into the ship,—" Mark 4.37.

YOU have often heard of the Lake of Gennesaret, or the Sea of Galilee,
for the gospels tell us many beautiful stories of what happened around
those shores.

Several large cities had been built, and the lovely Lake was surrounded
by mountains, and there were numbers of ships and boats which went
across the Lake, some with fishermen plying their trade, and others
carrying merchandise to the opposite shores.

But the Lake, looking so beautiful in the sunshine, and reflecting in its
waters every shade of colour of the sky, or of the surrounding mountains,
sometimes had violent storms, instead of calm on its lovely waters.

The wind suddenly rose, and swept down between the mountains; and
almost before the sailors could furl their sails, the wind would drive the
boat before it, as if it would swamp it altogether.

But one day, when all was beautiful and bright, Jesus was walking by the
Lake, and a number of people out of the cities around came out to see
Him, for they longed to hear His words; no one had ever spoken to them
as He did, nor comforted them with assurances that their sins might be
forgiven.

As the Lord saw the multitudes around Him, He entered into one of the
fishing boats which were moored to the shore, and He talked to the
people from there, because they could hear Him better.

So all day He sat and talked to them, until evening came on, and then He
said to His disciples, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake."

And when His disciples had sent the multitude away, they took Jesus,
just as He was, in the ship. And there were other little ships with Him.

But soon a great storm of wind swept down between the mountains, and
the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full.
And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow. And they
awoke Him, and said unto Him, "Master, carest Thou not that we
perish?"

And Jesus arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be
still!"

And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And Jesus said to them, "Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have
no faith?"

And the disciples feared exceedingly, and said one to another, "What
manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"

Children! It is because Jesus is the Son of God, that He can do these

wonderful miracles!

If we are in any trouble we can look up to Jesus in heaven and say,

"Lord, help me!"

If we are sad, we can ask Him to comfort us.

If we have done what is wrong, we can ask Him to forgive us. He has all
power in Heaven and Earth, and He will listen to our cry, and come to
our help, as He helped the disciples in that great storm!
XIX. HIS VESTURE

MATTHEW 27.35
 HIS VESTURE

MATTHEW 27.35.

PERHAPS you ask, "What are these men so busily doing?"

Little did they know that hundreds of years before it had been written by
God's Prophet: "They parted my garments among them, and upon my
vesture did they cast lots."

Those four soldiers, whom Pilate had ordered to crucify the Lord of
glory, and who had heard our dear Lord say, when they had nailed Him
to the Cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!"—
those four soldiers, did not take any heed of the matchless love of those
words of forgiveness. They were only thinking about dividing His
clothes.
They had crucified Jesus, the Saviour of the world, and two malefactors
with Him, one on the right hand and the other on the left, and Jesus in the
midst.

And now the people who were watching, saw the four soldiers carry
away His raiment to a little distance, to divide it between themselves.

When they found that His coat, or under-robe, was seamless, and woven
in one piece, they cast lots for that, so that it should not be torn or
divided, as God had said, so long ago.

In this picture we do not see the Cross on which our dear Lord was
crucified, but it must have been very near to the men.

There was a piece of parchment nailed on the Cross; and though Pilate
had said, "I find no fault in Him," yet when he sat down to write his
accusation on the parchment, he was obliged to put something; and he
wrote, in Hebrew, and in Greek, and in Latin, "JESUS OF NAZARETH
—THE KING OF THE JEWS."

This writing was read by many people, because the place where Jesus
was crucified was near to Jerusalem, and many were passing backwards
and forwards at this Passover time.

The cruel Jews, who had urged Pilate to crucify Jesus, wanted him to
take the writing down from the Cross.

They said, "Do not say that He is the King of the Jews! But say that He
said He was!"

But Pilate would not alter it. "What I have written, I have written," he
said.

So when Jesus died, this was His accusation—that He is King!

Then the rulers who were standing by mocked him, saying, "He saved
others, Himself He cannot save! Let Him come down from the Cross!"

Perhaps some of you who read this may think that it was the cruel nails
which held His dear hands fast, so that he could not come down?

But that was not the reason—oh no!

It was love that made the Son of God stay there; love to you, and to me.
"He gave His life a ransom for us."

He stayed there that He might die for us; that His precious Blood should
be shed to pay the price of our sins.

No one can tell the depth of woe and loneliness which Jesus suffered,
while the load of our sins rested upon Him; but the more we understand
it, the more we shall love Him, for His great love.

XX. THE LAST SUPPER

THE night before our Lord was crucified for us, He gathered His twelve
disciples together, and sat down to eat the Passover Supper with them in
the Upper Room.

And as they were eating, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and told them that
one of them would betray Him.

Close to His side, leaning on His bosom, was the disciple whom Jesus
loved; and Peter beckoned to him to ask the Lord who it was who should
betray Him.

So John, leaning on Jesus' bosom, whispered, "Who is it, Lord?"

And Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I give a sop when I have dipped
it."

And He gave the sop to Judas Iscariot.

And as they were eating, "Jesus took bread, and gave thanks and brake it,
and gave unto them, saying: 'This is My Body which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of Me.' Likewise also the cup, after supper,
saying: 'This cup is the New Testament (covenant) in My Blood which is
shed for you.'"

And from that Last Supper before His death till now, nearly two
thousand years after, in one unbroken chain, week after week, those who
love Christ have partaken of this Holy Feast, in remembrance of Him till
He comes back again.

The Holy Supper was over. Judas had already left them to go and betray
his Master to the Chief Priests, for thirty pieces of silver, and he had
gone out into the darkness.
 In that wonderful conversation, as Jesus talked

with the disciples for the last time, He told them many things

which they understood more clearly afterwards.

In that wonderful conversation, as Jesus talked with the disciples for the
last time, He told them many things which they understood more clearly
afterwards.

He told them He would not leave them comfortless, and that He was
going to prepare a place for all who loved Him, in the many mansions of
His Father's house.
And then they sang a hymn together—Jesus and His disciples—and after
that they went into the Garden of Gethsemane, where the Easter moon
was shining among the sombre trees: and there it was that Judas found
Him, and betrayed Him to the multitude.
