THE SM SCHOOL,
Lesson XII. Fourth Quarter,
For Dec. 20, 1908.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Luke II, 8-20.
Memory Vers, '810 Golden Text,
Luke II, 11 Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
tCopjritht, 1903, t7 American Presi AmcUtlon.
From the time when Adam and Eve
listened to the devil rather than to God
and by one man sin entered Into the
world and death by sin (Rom. v, 12)
the god of this world, tho devil, baa
been blinding pcoplo's eyes to the truth
and to the lore of God, always setting
before them some way which he in
sists Is better than God's way; hence
all tho sin of which we read In all the
Bible story and in the whole history of
the race. The alternate lesson for to
day telis how even Solomon, so be
loved and blessed of God, was turned
away from Him by the women of
I other nations, and by them and their
idols his heart was turned away from
the Lord God of Israel (I Kings xt,
4-13; Nch. illl, 20).
In nil the history of the world there
hns never been but one who always
resisted the devil and listened only to
God, and of Him we learn as to the
beginning of His humanity In our les
son today. He was with the Father
before tho world was. By Him and
1 for Him were all things created. He
appeared In human form to Abraham,
to Joshua, to Gideon, to Mnnonh and
Ills wife and to others. Ho was typi
fied In every sacrifice appointed by
God from the shedding of blood in
Eden by His own hand to provide re
demption clothing for Adam and Eve
all tho way down to Golgotha. He was
set apart before the foundation of the
world, but was manifested In the full
ness of time, made of a woman, made
under the law, to redeem them that
were under the law (I Pet. I, 20; Gal.
Iv, 4, 5).
Moses and all tho prophets wrote of
Him as the only Redeemer, tho Mes
siah of Israel, the one to rule the world
In peace and righteousness (Luke xxiv,
2", 41). From the days of Malachi,
who said, "The Lord whom ye seek
shall suddenly come to His temple" nnd
"Behold I will send you Elijah the
prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the Lord" (ill, 1;
Iv, C), there had been no further mes-
sace from heaven for over 300 Years
But one day while a certain priest was
officiating beforo God In the temple an
nngol appeared to him and said that
throimb him anil his wife rhn hprnl.l of
the Messiah should come, who would
before HIm ,n tue gplrIt anfl powcr
of Elijah.
Six months later the same angel,
Gabriel, was sent from heaven to a
humble home la Nazareth to a virgin
called Mary with the most wonderful
wholn blstorv of thls worl.wr.nkn I. HO.
i - . "...
1 In simple, childlike faith Mary
, listened to the wonderful message and
saId. "Behold tho handmaid of the
-orAl he It unto me according to thy
word." It had been foretold that the
-uessiau suouia do Doru or n virgin ana
tuus lne word of GKl be Hterally ful-
"e(l at tie suoum oe me -seed or
: woman;" also that He should be born
, m Bethlehem of Judea (Isa. vil, 14);
Gen- U1' 15! Mlc- v. 2- In our lesson
wo 8ee God- watches over nis
word to perform It (Jer. I. 12, R. V.),
, ""agios mings io pass jusi us lie
had said. A decree from the world
mler' wuo anew not uoa. causea Mary
iu uo m ueiuieuem nt mis particular
time, nnd while there she brought fortli
her firstborn son in a lowly place
nmong cattle and used a manger as His
cradle (verses 7, 12, 10), for there wii3
no room for them in the I tin. He came
from the glory of heaven. His Father's
home, the holy angels and tho great
company of the rcdoeraed, and there
was no welcome for Ilim on earth ex
cept from His mother and Joseph, and
those few shepherds, and Simeon and
Anna, and those wise men from tho
cast, and a few others. But nil heaven
was Interested. An angel came with
ills glory of heavenly light and told
these shepherds of the great event;
then a multitude of angels praised God
ln these words: "Glory to God In tho
highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men" (verse 14). Then tho an
gels returned to heaven, aud tho shep
herds went and found it Just as the
angel1) had said.
To this day how little interest is tak
en on tho earth In heavenly things,
the god of this world leading his 'fol
lowers to cry, "Let us alone," but God
has always held a few like Ilia shep
herds and tlic others, whose hearts are
, .,, TIIn, llv . , v-,1Btnn,,
house of Jacob aud over all the earth
ln righteousness, and His church shall
reign with nim. Koto the angel's "fear
nota" (I, 13, 30; II, 10) to the Lord's
people and study the words from Gen.
xv, 1, to Rev. 1, 17, and if a child of God
appropriate them, for God does not
give a spirit of fear (II Tim. I, 7). Tho
good tidings of great joy are for all
people, but what a large proportion of
tho human race have passed away and
are passing away without hearing the
good news. "Is it nothing to you?"
In all His life He glorified God, and by
His finished work He gives peace to all
who receive Ilim. The shepherds did
not question tho angel's message, but
said, "Let us go and see this thing
which Is come to pass, which the Lord
hath made known to us." Having
heard and bcliovcd and seen, they nlado
It known abroad, Mary kept nnd pon
dered ln her heart 'all these things.
