20 “Now there were certain Greeks among those that went 21 up to worship at the feast; these therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, 22 Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew; 23 Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus. And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of 24 man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth 25 by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this 26 world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. 27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto 28 this hour. Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and 29 will glorify it again. The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An 30 angel hath spoken to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes. Now 31 is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, 32 will draw all men unto myself. But this he said, signifying 33 by what manner of death he should die. The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth forever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 34 Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not; and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have the 35 light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light.” 1. What nationality was represented among those at the Passover? 2. To whom did its representatives come? With what request? 3. How was this request made known to Jesus? 4. What statement did it lead him to make? 5. To what teaching of nature did he appeal? 6. What law of life did he then announce? 7. What command and promise did he give for his servants? 8. How will the Father recognize service rendered to Jesus? 9. How did the vision of his future suffering affect Jesus? How does he give expression to his feelings? 10. What petition does he offer? How was it answered? 11. How did some of the people interpret the answer? What did others say? 12. What reason did Jesus assign for this audible answer? 13. What is the death of Christ to the world? How does it affect the world’s prince? 14. How great is the attractive power of Christ’s death? 15. How did he foretell the manner of his death? 16. What answer and what inquiries did the people make? 17. What statement did Jesus make in reply? What exhortation did he address to them? 18. In what did he urge them to put faith? For what purpose? 19. What did Jesus then do? 1. “The request of the Greeks to see Jesus, brought the future before him. . . . He looked forward with joy to the period when the partition wall between Jew and Gentile would be thrown down, and the broad harvest-field would be the world. . . . He saw that the gathering of the Gentiles was to follow his approaching death. He therefore presented to his disciples and to the listening crowd the figure of the wheat, to represent how his death would be productive of a great harvest. . . . In the Gospel of the death and resurrection of Christ, and the resurrection of the dead, life and immortality are brought to light, and the kingdom of heaven is thrown open to all believers.”—Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 3, pp. 74, 75. 2. “Two points are here suggested: (1) That the life, the living force that was in Christ, reached its proper value and influence through his death; and (2) that the proper value of Christ’s life is that it propagates similar lives. . . . Year by year men sacrifice their choicest sample of grain, and are content to bury it in the earth instead of exposing it in the market, because they understand that except it die it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit. . . . The law of the seed is the law of human life. . . . Your life is a seed now, not a developed plant, and it can become a developed plant only by your taking heart to cast it from you and sow it in the fertile soil of other men’s needs. . . . To use his own figure, he (Jesus) was a seed unsown so long as he lived, valuable in his own proper person; but by dying, his life obtained the value of seed sown, propagating its kind in everlasting increase. . . . A seed produces grain of its own kind, so Christ produces men like Christ. . . . Christ, having been sown, lives now in his people. . . . ‘He gave his life away for the good of men, and therefore prolongs his days and sees his seed eternally.’ Whoever will choose the same destiny as Christ, must take the same road that he took. . . . Self-seeking is self-destroying. . . . Every human life is under this law. There is no path to goodness or to happiness, save this one. Nature herself teaches us as much.” 3. “There are many lonely people about the world, who complain of desolate and solitary lives, . . . and have never learned that the cure for loneliness comes through the sowing of one’s self in a grave of daily self-sacrifice.” “The soul that dares to live this life, will find streams flowing from every smitten rock; honey in the carcass of every slain lion. . . . So it must be ever. Day out of night; spring out of winter; flowers out of frost; joy out of sorrow; fruitfulness out of pruning; Olivet out of Gethsemane; the ascension out of Calvary; life out of death; and the Christ that is to be, out of the pangs of a travailing creation.” 4. “The voice of God had been heard at the baptism of Jesus, at the commencement of his ministry, and again at his transfiguration on the mount; and now, at the close of his ministry, it was heard for the third time, and on this occasion by a larger number of persons and under peculiar circumstances. He had just uttered the most solemn truths concerning the condition of the Jews. He had made his last appeal, and pronounced their doom. The wall of partition between Jew and Gentile was tottering, and ready to fall at the death of Christ.”—Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 3, p. 79. 5. “In the act of Christ dying for the salvation of man, heaven was not only made accessible to man, but God and his Son were justified before all heaven in dealing with the rebellion of Satan, and in his expulsion. The blot which Satan had placed upon heaven itself was thus to be washed away, and no sin could evermore enter there to all eternity. The holy angels, and all created intelligences of the worlds where sin had not entered, responded in hallelujahs to the judicial sentence pronounced upon Satan, applauding the act of Christ which removed the mortgage Satan held upon the souls of men. The holy angels, as well as those who are washed by the blood of Christ, are drawn to him by this crowning act of giving his life for the sins of the world. Christ, in being lifted up upon the cross to die, opened the way of life to both Jews and Gentiles, to all nations, tongues, and people.”—Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 3, pp. 80, 81. 6. “The course of the Jewish people, so highly favored and so deeply fallen, should engrave upon the heart of us, the Christian Israel, with letters of fire, the words, ‘Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you,’ that we may take heed, with fear and trembling, to every spark of light which the word of God essays to cast into our hearts.” 7. “The period of great spiritual light, if that light is not sacredly cherished and acted upon, will be turned into a time of corresponding spiritual darkness.” “Delay is the ordinary expression of antagonism to Christ; infidelity the extraordinary.” Suggestions for Further Study.
1. With the interpretation placed by some of the people upon the voice from heaven, compare Job 37:2–5. 2. Jesus had spoken to the Father for the sake of the people (John 11:42), and now the Father speaks to Jesus for the same reason (see 2 Cor. 12:15). 3. On what ground is Satan called the prince of this world? How did he obtain his power here? Is it an unlimited power? Notice the means used to overcome him. See Heb. 2:14. 4. How is life only in Christ taught in this lesson? LESSON VII.—SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1897. NOTE.—Let us couple with this lesson the prominent features of those preceding, noting the working of divine power in behalf of the working church, making it victorious over opposition both from without and from within. Notice the characteristics of those who figured prominently in the affairs connected with the growth of this church. The time of this lesson was between A. D. 30 and 33, and the opposition here recorded followed close upon the exposure of Ananias’ hypocrisy. 17 “But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy, and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward. But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said, Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. And when they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought. But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told, saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within. Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow. And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people. Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, but without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, saying, We straitly charged you not to teach in this name; and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us. But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.” Golden Text.—“We ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:29.

(3) By what impulse were they moved and governed in their actions? Ib. (4) What was done to the apostles? Verse 18. Note 3. (5) What occurred that night? Verse 19. Note 4.

(11) How were the leaders affected by this report? Verse 24. Note 7. (12) While pondering over these things, what report reached them? Verse 25. (13) How were the apostles conducted into the presence of the council? Verse 26, first part. (14) Why? Ib., last part. (15) What question did the high priest ask them? Verses 27, 28. (16) Of what did he accuse the apostles? Ib., last part. Note 8. (17) How did Peter respond? Verse 29. (18) What Gospel message did Peter give to the learned Sanhedrin? Verse 30, first clause. (19) What part did he ascribe to the Jews in Christ’s sacrifice for the world? Ib., last clause. (20) How had God dealt with Him whom they had slain? Verse 31, first part. (21) For what purpose had God exalted Christ? Ib., last part. (22) In what relation did the apostles stand to these things? Verse 32, first clause. (23) What other witness had these things? Ib., last part. (24) To whom only was the Holy Ghost given? Ib. 1. Then the high priest rose up.—The cause of this action is seen in the four preceding verses. “The people magnified them” (the apostles); “multitudes both of men and women” were added to the believers; the sick, not only of Jerusalem but of surrounding villages, were brought to the apostles, “and they were healed every one.” Jealousy, on account of a threatened loss of prestige, stirred up the leaders to put down this growing power. But it was useless. The Comforter had come; the Holy Spirit was upon the believers; the power of God was in his church. No matter from how many different directions the winds of opposition might blow, God resolved them into one strong, steady, onward gale to help waft the ship Zion heavenward and heavenward. 2. All they that were with him.—The Sadducees were originally the governing nobility of Israel, descendants from the family of the Hasmoneans, known also as the Hasmonean aristocracy, between whom and the Pharisees there was constant rivalry, amounting at times to open war. The doctrine of the Sadducees was a secularization of the kingdom13 of God. The deliverer which they expected was an earthly king. Having no belief in a future resurrection, they disclaimed belief in the coming Messiah. Of this class was he who led in the opposition to the apostles’ work. 3. The common prison.—Probably a guard-house or room in the temple itself. They could not be committed to the regular prison without a trial, and the Sanhedrin could not legally assemble that night. 4. But the angel . . . opened the prison doors.—“But” is a small word, yet it means a great deal in this as in many other instances. Here it signifies the overthrow of a scheme to thwart the purposes of God. In what other instances have angels appeared to deliver or protect the servants of God under similar circumstances? Visible angels are not the only ones God permits to visit the earth in man’s behalf. See Heb. 1:14. 5. The words of this life.—It was life through Jesus Christ, and through him only, that the apostles were here commissioned to preach—life here as well as hereafter. They were to begin their work in the morning where they had left it off the night before; for the people were hungering for the word of life. 6. We found no man within.—God had a work for the apostles on the outside of the prison. If they could have served his cause better inside the walls than outside, the officers would undoubtedly have found them within. Where the true Christian finds himself is where God needs his services. When God needed Peter in the temple to speak to the people, there is where the officers found him. 7. They doubted.—Literally, they were perplexed and at their wits’ end. The greater their opposition, the more wonderful were the manifestations attending this growing power. 8. Ye have filled Jerusalem.—This is a striking testimony of the faithfulness of Peter and his associates in preaching and teaching the words of life. This man’s blood.—His blood was upon them already, for they had invited it; but it was the accusation of having put to death the One who had come to deliver and save the people, that angered the rulers. Herein was loss of their own power over the people, if the people accepted the doctrine. The people were all looking for deliverance, some for a temporal ruler who would free them, others for the restoration of the Davidic dynasty in divine power. The accusation against the rulers was the killing of this Prince of Peace. BIBLE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING MAN.

By Editor
This column of church services, especially in our larger towns and cities, will be printed from time to time as we have room, for the benefit of strangers who may read the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, or brethren passing through. We have found it necessary to condense in the smallest possible space. The word “Sabbath” always refers to the seventh day of the week. These services consist of Sabbath school, preaching, Bible study, missionary, and prayer meetings. The first Sabbath service is, with but few exceptions, Sabbath school. The first address is that of the church, or place of meeting; the second, if given, that of pastor or clerk. Toledo, O.—11th St. Christian Church, bet.
