LESSON
(By E. O. 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.
