This question is not an appeal to the faith of the Pharisees, but to their opinion.

I. I COMMEND THE QUESTION. You should think of Christ —

1. Because you cannot help yourself.

2. Because you cannot escape the consequences of the question.

3. As a man thinks of Christ so is he at the hour of his death.

II. KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST IS NECESSARY BEFORE ANSWERING THIS QUESTION.

1. Who is He? "Whose Son is He?"

2. Why did Christ come?

3. Whither is Christ gone?

4. Wherefore will He return?

III. Now WHAT THINK YE OF CHRIST?

1. Not what will you think to-morrow, but what do you think?

2. Improve the thought.

3. Strengthen the thought.

4. Express the thought.

(C. Molyneux, B. A.)
