The kingdom is mentioned at least seven or eight times in this chapter and tbolast part of the prev ceding one. The Pharisees were told that it was among them or In their midst, not within them (chapter xvii, 231, margin or R. V, ), for it could not in any sense he in such 'Chrlst haters as they were, but it was In their very midst, in the person of the King, whom they were watching their op- portunity to kill. Chapter xvlll, Inlwhlch - our lesson ls, tells us who can and who can- not enter this kingdom, which is yet to Pharisees and rich idolaters, however moral, and all who love this present world cannot enter this kingdom, but helpless blind beggars and such as have the spirit of n. little child, they can enter. Thecondi- tlon of things on earth will become more and more like the days of Noah and of but till the Son of Man shall come. 9. “And He spoke this parable unto cer- tain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others." The previous part of the chapter speaks of the coming of the Son of Man as a time when God shall ~ avenge Ills own elect—that Is, His elect Israel, for His elect church does not cry for vengeance, but the redemption of Israel is always associated with venge- ance upon her enemies (Isa. xxxlv, 8; sxsv, i; lxill, 4). In verse 8 He asks if there shall be any faith on earth' or the faith when this time comes. The church having been taken to meet her Lord before He comes to avenge Ills elect Israel, it will be a dark time. There will be many trust- Ing In their own righteousness, but there will also be an afilloted and poor people who will trust in the Lord (Zcph. iii, 12). 10. “Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one u Pharisee and the other a publican." The Pharisees trusted In their own righteousness. It Is written of thpm in Rom. x, 3, that being ignorant of lGod' s rIghteousness, and going about to I establish their own righteousness, they did not submit themselves unto the rightmos- ness of God. they would see Abraham, Isaac and Jaco all the prophets, and many from north, south, east and west in the kingdom of God, but they themselves thrust out (Luke xiii, 28, 29). He also said that unless one had Inore righteousness than that of the scribes and Pharisees it would be impos- sible to enter the kingdom (Math. v, 20). ll, 12. This Is the record of tfro Phari- seo's so called prayer, mglveu by Him who roads our hearts, whose eyes are as a flame of fire. There is not one petition in it. llo did not ask God for a simple thing, but in his own estimation and how thankful he was for it. He mentioned four things that he did not do and two things that he did. There were thus just six things in his little talk with God about himself, and six is the number of man. us see Is the pumps” the bust, the man who will be safe incarnate. There was no humility, no sense of sin. no knowledge of God nor of himself, yet he thought that he prayed, and no doubt w .nt away feel- Ing well pleased with hlréllf. lie is a picture of multitudes of llglrnis people today who attend church regularly, but are no more saved than he was.

They were born children of (led hv natural birth, or If not then, they think it wasnll nude sure by infant baptism, and nowthoy olin tell you of what they are glad they are not, and of souiogond things which they do, and vainly think that all is well. They are followers of Cain, who despised God's way and loved his own. lIl.- "(led hemerclful to Inc III-inner." This is the substance of the prayer of the poor despised publlcan who would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon atruly contrlte breast, us he stood ufnr off and uttered these words from his heart. He had no righteousness, and he know that too. He hooded mercy, and he asked for it, and he piernled noth- lng but his sin and God's redemption. ills prayer might be rendered, 'fGod be propitious to me," or"be reconciled to me imam of atonement." llo, like right- eous Abel, acknowledged his sin and looked to a sacrifice. It. “I tellyou this man went down to his house justified." The man who want- ed nothing und Inked for nothing received nothing and went back to his house a poor, self righteous, lost soul, but the pcnltout publicau who confessed his sin and naked for mercy recclvml mercy and was instantly instilled from all things from which he could not be instilled by . the law, for by the deeds of the law no one can be instilled. But the righteousness of God, even Christ Himself and all ills merits, is freely given to every poultont sinner who comes to film (Acts sill. as, I0; Rom. III, iii-24; x, 4; ll Cor. v, 21). lb. “And they brought unto film also Infants that lie would teach them. but when the disciples saw it they rebuked them." The disciples did not know Him even though they dwelt with Him. Even James and John had to be roved more than once, and the nlght be um lie was crucified He had to say to another, “Have I been so long time with you. and yet hast then not known mo, Philip?” All of them seemed to censure Mary's apparent waste rcclonII ointment, but Jesus ro- bukorl t ‘ In and commended her.
