CASTOR IA For Infant* and Children, tk KindYouhaysAlwaysBoaglil Bears the glgnature ol LESSON TEXT—John 3:1-1?. GOLDEN TEXT—For God so loved the world, that he gave his Only begotten son, that whosoever belleyeth in him, should not perish, hut have everlasting life.—John 3:16. This most famous interview in his­ tory occurred probably In some room la Jerusalem where Jesus was-a guest, a room reached by an outer stairway so that he could receive* visitors pri­ vately. . I. The Teacher of the Jewe (vv. 1, 2), Nicotlemus was & member of the sanhedrin (Cli. 7:50). He belonged to the Pharisees who were much devoted to the scriptures, and in whoso hand tlio political affairs .were largely placed by the Romans. There are sev­ eral reasons why Nlcodemns came to Jesus by night. Prudence dictated se­ crecy, but that he came at all was en-. cournging.,. Ho was more apt to find Jesus at home in the evening. He had touch that he wished to lcarp, and needed a quiet hour, removed frqra the crowd. The tilings that Jesus had done and taught made NicodemuS think that Jesus might be the Mes­ siah, NIciodemus wanted to know how to be blessed or happy. . II. A Teacher From God (w . 8*8). A great majority, of the disciples of Jesus came from the conimon people (I, Cor, 1:26) yet. for Uli classes-he had the same message,, “Ye must be born again.” The answer of Jesus was.according to the condition of the man before btm, the deepest need ol* his soul. ■Literally, he said, “Most as­ suredly, except a man (anyone) be born again (anew or from alt ,*ve) he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.” To be born' anew, means to be bom again. It matters not what your par­ entage may have been. ■If any man could do without a new birth, NIco- demus was that man. He wiis moral, religions and sincere. The Instrument through which this birth is effective, is the word of God (I Peter 1:23}' James 1 :1S; John 15:3) and the au­ thor Is the Holy Spirit (v, 5; Titus 3 :5). Water Is a symbol of the wprd (Eph. 5:26). Literally translated, this passage would read, “Except one be.born of water and wind.” And as wind “by universal consent refers to one factor In regeneration, the Spirit, so the water manifestly refers to the other element of regeneration, the word." The main contention is that the word is the instrument In the re­ generation. Although not expressly mentioned *here, It Is elsewhere. Nicotlemus was a teacher' of Israel (v, 10 It* V.) and yet he did not know so fundamental a,truth as thejnew blrtli, though the Old Testament'taught-it. III. The Pupil’s Difficulty (vv, 9-13). The Works o f the flesh as contrasted with the fruits of the Spirit are brought out in the Epistles, yet, like Nicodemus, people are ^asking today, “How can these things he?” Jesus challenges Nicodemus with the words, “Art tlmu h. tencher of Israel and un- derstandeat not these things?” What Jesus said to Nicodemus (w . 11-13) Is true oi*the scriptures now, especial­ ly of the New Testament. ’ They tes­ tify to. the facts which Jesus knew and revealed, he having been In henven, and come down from heaven for the purpose .of making them known. To be born Implies that It is the starting point of n new life, that wc must grow ns a child grows to be a man uhtfl It reaches to “a perfect man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13). IV. The Lesson Illustrated (w , 14, 15, 18). .Tesus believed In objective teaching, and he here refers to a memorable event in the early history of the Jews as Illustrating his teach­ ing. The journey through the wilder­ ness to the promised land became weary and discouraging, and the Is­ raelites complained bitterly of their hardships, complaining against God* and against Moses. Punishment came in the form of flory serpents, called fiery from the burning, stinging sensa­ tion caused by their bite. So Intense was the venom of the bites that they beenrae fatal in a few hours. This punishment made the people realize the awfql evil of slu. They acknowl­ edged their sin, and prayed for for­ giveness, Moses made a brazen ser­ pent, and carried it through the camp so that all Could see, and looking be­ came an act of faith. Implying repent­ ance and return ,to obedience and to God, Thus our Salvation is literally, "Look and live;” believe and have eternnl life; doubt and perish (Mark 16:10; John 8:80). V. God1* Greatest Gift (v. 16). This Is probably the most familiar verse known to the Christian world, and has led more souls to salvation than arty other In the Bible, In it is re­ vealed the mighty God—-“For God:” a mighty motive—“God so loved;” a mighty scope—“God so loyed the world;” a mighty sacrifice—'“God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten S o n a mighty escape— “ should not perish*,” ft mighty gift— “ eternnl Ilf?” Tills verse Is the gospel In a nut­ shell; the origin and grounds Of his salvation, nrrspMMK* *»» afi^fnlmf reportort J mn »f potent infocmntion, itiflnheipSov 'S k r lW tX t " I D.SWIFT k CO, isosftmMh&L,*«& ,,> ). cj Now Comes the Big Money Saving event for Men, Young Fen and Boy* Our Public Benefit Sale Started Thursday, February ist. • V .» ■ 3 20 Per Cent reduction on Hart Schaffner and Marx Suits and O ’Coats for Men and Young Men, Also odd Trousers, Mackinaws and Rain Coats at 20 Per Cent Reduction. 20 Per Cen Reduction on Boys Suits, O’Coats, Mackinavys, Men’s and Boys Hats and Caps. 10 Per Cent Reduction on Men’s and Boys - Furnishings hi Th„ same quality O T f l Jl I I O O 0 I I I I 11 ” y0“ “ *'* ** will be higher next 0 I K A l l O O QL H I L u “ d b“ Fgi Buyevery- Surprie Store” thing you can. 28-30 E.
