and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid.As Wells says, \u201cThe Galilean is too great for our small hearts.\u201d Now on this glorious day of the \u201ctriumphal entry\u201d all misgivings seem to have vanished as they chant: \u2019 Blessed is he that cometh in thé\" name of the Lord; blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.Holy Week AND then came those tragic days, the betrayal, the arrest, the con- Tow coming Sunday is Palm demnation and the crucifixion outside the city wall.What did it all mean when perfect love was answered by hate, and He who was the Prince of Life and of goodness was \u201cnumbered with the transgressors\u201d?Dr.Farthing, Bishop of Montreal, says: The supreme revelation in Jesus Christ is the glory of the Giving God.We in Jesus Christ that God gives Himself for Man.God gives Himself because He loves., 8trong love is the principle of life, and God's love is the strongest., .In giving Himself for man God suffers with man.God did not give Himself In one supreme act of sacrifice and then withdraw into a place of safe retreat where no more suffering could reach Him.As long as God is Love and mankind suffers, 30 long will He give Himself, and suffer for man., Such suffering is the penalty of love\u2014and the Giving, Loving God is the suffering God.Or as Chesterton writes: Nothing short of the extreme and strong and startling doctrine of the divinity of Christ will give that particular effect that can stir the popular sense like a trumpet; the -idea of the king himself serving in the ranks like a common soldier, ., No mysterious monarch, hidden in his starry pavilion at the base of the cosmic campaign, is in the least like that celestial chivalry of the Captain who carries his five wounds in the front of the battle, His people should never doubt or never fear if they are called to have fellowship in His sufferings, for \u201cwhere I am, there shall also my ser- RR ge EN f % = A > Q N ÿ aby AN SN J Ng if X x N a NS N ee M F à me aa Try R881 ;
