SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, | Chicago.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 26 SIN OF MOSES AND AARON. LLESSON TEXT—Numbers 20:1-13. GOLDEN TEXT-—‘Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock and my redeemer.” Ps. 19:14 Forty years have passed since Isreal committed its fatal mistake of diso- bedience. This lesson is a three-sided picture. .A murmuring, blindly diso- bedient people; God, the righteous di- rector of the affairs of men; Moses d Aaron, the divinely appointed but sorely tested leaders of the people. I. The people's petition, vv. 1-5—The name of this place was Meribah (v. 413), which means strife. It was not the fault of God nor the desired lead- ngs of Moses that brought these peo- ple to this place. Forty years of wan- dering seemingly had not taught them this lesson., Many people accuse God when they ‘themselves are to be blamed for the evil that comes upon them. James 1:13-15. What a terrible sin ingratitude is afid how incredibly ‘angrateful these people are. Their Usual Plan. Il. God's Plan, vv; 6-8. Moses and Aaron followed their usual, and the wisest plan of taking their difficulty to God. Separated from’ the people they throw themselves upon their faces before him and he graciously manifested himself unto them gave them explicit directions (v. \8). Other times M~~es had had this same experience, ch. 14:5; 16:4, Ex. 17:4, etc. It is an inspiration to recall the multiplied times God has used these common agencies in the hands of his consecrated servants to work his mighty deeds—an ox-goad, a boy's sling, a lamp and a pitcher, a few Joaves and two small fishes. IH. Moses’ and Aaron’s Pride, vv. 9-13. , These servants began very prop- erly to carry out God’s instructions. They took the rod from God, “as com- manded” (v. 9). They gathered the people together in the right place “be- fore the rock.” But then began their failure, Some may plead extenuating circumstances or great provocation. But Moses, for he takes the place of leadership, made a four-fold mistake which was too serious to be over- looked or to go unpunished. (1) He deceived the people. Hes had just come from “tent of meeting” (v. 6) and, as heretofore, the people expect ed some message from Jehovah, whereas he gave them not God's words, but those of his own coining. This ought to be a warning to minis ters and teachers, viz., that the people have a right to expect from their God: called and instructed leaders, his word, not the opinions of man nor the wisdom of the sages. - Considered Them Rebels. Moses in his pride separated him. self from the people. He. assumed a ‘“Hholier-than thou” | attitude. He looked upon the peoplé, over this line of separation, as being rebels, 'and God will not allow Christian leaders ta hand out admonition upon a platter of anger. (3) He took the glory to himself. This was more serious still and was in direct violation of the spirit of those laws he had received upon the Mount, Ex. 20:5. “Must we fetch you water,” is quite different from “Thou shalt bring them forth.” This is that which has set aside many Christian workers. We must not lean to our own understanding nor fail to acknowledge that it is God that works and to him be the glory. Gen. 40:8; Dan. 2328-30; Acts 3:12-16; | tification, fallacy, faculty, futurity, | (4) Moses smote the | frantic, felicitate, flowery, fatigue, | 1. Cor, 3: rock. God had told Moses to ‘speak unto the rock” (v. 8) whereas he| smote the rock as though the power were in the rod or the strong arm back of the rod. Exact obedience is expected by God and to do anything else is to doubt his power, to reflect upon his word and to draw attention away from him and upon ourselves. Our attention has been called to the fact that on a previous occasion, Ex. 17:5, 6, God had commanded Moses to smite the rock, that the rock sug- gests Christ (I. Cor. 10:4), that he was to be smitten but once and thereafter nearly a word of prayer would bring forth water, see Luke 11:13. No man is essential to God’s plan though God's plans: are always worked out through men. Whén men fail to see this God speedily sets them aside and ap- points other leaders. Moses and Aaron fell through unbelief (v. 13) and Moses is compelled to give up his place of leadership and is not allowed to enter the land of promise though graciously granted a view of it, (Deut. 8:23-26; 32:49, B50; 34:4). Moses “spake unadvisably with his lips.” Moses had also to suffer for Israel. IV. The chief points. There are three great teachings in this lesson. The wrong of having a provoked spirit, one contrary to that of the God of Mercy and Grace. It is hard to learn that God is hindered by those who profess to be his servants but who manifest such a spirit. "Again God must be represented, glorified, by those who profess to be his serv- ants. To let our methods, our per- sonality or our ideals come between man and God invokes his jealousy. And lastly, the measure of privilege is the measure of and understanding. and | Look up i responsibility. | Last Spring. i : With the summer before us the middle of October looked a long ways off, yet the summer passed quick- ly and the man who early planted and sowed is the one who now has the barns and cellars filled for the winter: Start the Boys and Girls early to plant pennies and dollars—start them early to learn to save.
