McKEE Cedarville, Ohio SUNNY SCKC3L lewon 12 .—Fourth Quarter, for December^, 19 * 17 . :TSE INTERNATIONAL SERIES -jTsxt ef the Lesson, Matt. II, 1*155— . *Memory Verse*, t, 2 —Golden Text, : Luke II, 11—Commentary Prepared j by Rey, O. M. Stearns. I ' We choose the Christmas lesson in­ stead of the one in,-Malachl. but both may well be considered together, for, jwhile Malachl tells of the great King -whose name shall be great among all nations, Matthew tells of -his lowly birth according to I4a. 7 ,14; Mlc. 6, 2 (Mai, I r 11,14; Matt. n . d , 2). Wetb e r It be In Malachl or Matthew their treatment of.him 1$ the same. They will not lay it to heart to give glory to his name, but they despise him and call his service ft weariness and offer hlin their poorest instead of their best (Mai. I, 6, 7, 8, 13; IT, 1, 2, 17). Vet he begs of them to return to him that ho may bless them and make them a delightsome land (Mai. HI, 7 :12). He speaks of the great and dreadful day of the Lord which shall precede his kingdom and says that ha will send BUjah before that day (Mai, 3:1-3; 4:1-0), John the Baptist came In the spirit and power of Elijah, but they would not receive him, so the real Eli­ jah must yet come according to mur Lord’s own testimony (Matt 17:11-13; Luke 1*17). ' John the Baptist was to the first coming of Christ what the real Elijah will be to his second coming In glory to reign. Mai. 4:10, 17, are most com­ forting words for all who think or speak of hint, The years-pass, men come nnd go, but he says, “I am the Lord; 1 change not” (Mai. 3 :G). Sev­ eral hundred-years Intervene -between Malachl and. Matthew, and then we read of Jeans'Christ,-the son of Da­ vid, the son of Abraham, and of his; birth of a virgin as foretold in Isa' 7:14, and- of two of his other names,- Jesus and Emmanuel’(Matt. 1 :1,20-25). As It is written In Gal. 4:4, “When the fullness of the time was come God sent ,forth hts son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them th a t .were under the law.1’ There Is a full- ;ness of time for everything in the pur­ pose of God, and he who was born In Bethlehem according, to Mlc, 5:2, shall yet rule Israel as Kipg of the Jews according to the aame prophecy (Matt 2:1, 2, 5,0). See alsoIsn. 9 :6-7; Jer. 23, 5 ,0 ; Zeph. 3:14,15; Ez, 37:22, 24. For this the world and tfie warring nations still wait unconsciously, for he who was bom in Bethlehem and rode Into Jerusalem oh an ass colt Is the only one who can speak peace to the na­ tions nnd make Wars to’cease (Zeeh, 2J9,10; Ps. 40:9). We do mot know who these wise men were, no r how many there were, nor what part of the east they came from, bu t i t would, seem as If they knew something of the words o f the Lord through Balsam, “There shall come a Star out of Jacob, add a Scepter shall rise out of Israel” (Num, 24:17). To Israel and to the world he will he the Bun of Righteousness,' hut to the church, which4must first be gathered; ha will be the morning star (Mai, 4:2; Rev. 22:10). For further Information concerning these men we must wait pa- jtlentiy. but it is no t so Important to jknow them as to know him whom they came to seek, the King of the Jews, .the Christ, the Governor to rule Israel [(Matt. 2:2,4,6). The star which they saw was no ordinary star, but a super* (natural light from- God,- for-when- they, 'left Jerusalem the star which they saw >ln the east went before them till It )came and stood OTer where the young -child was (verse 9). I t is not the cus­ tom of ordinary stars to lead anyone directly to a certain house and remain over I t We cannot think that the. star led .them to Jerusalem and caused the death of all those little children (verse 10), hut it may bate been that Jeru­ salem and a visit to Herod became more real 10 them for a time than the wonderful heavenly light and led then: out of the way, for when they saw,the star again they rejoiced with exceed­ ing great joy (verse 10). Any kind of an earthly glare may cause us to lose .sight of the heavenly light and make trouble for ourselves and others. The chief priests arid -scribes knew the Micah prediction concerning their Mes­ siah, but, like many today, were not specially Interested in it. These wise men when they found the child and jhls mother worshiped him (not the mother) and, opening their treasures, presented unto him (the child) gold iand frankincense and myrrh. We think of the queen of Sheba and all the kings who brought gifts to the king of Israel ( n Chron. 8 :1, 23, 24) and of the coming time, which may be near, when all the wealth of the na­ tions shall be brought to Israel because of the glory of their King (Isa. 00:1,8,5, 11, margin). At this time of giving and receiving gifts what Is your gift to him? Notice the fnlfillings of Scrip­ ture and the revelations of God In dreams In chapters 1:20, 22; 2:8,6,18, 15,17,19,22,28. It was after the visit of these men that Joseph and Maty were ordered to Egypt, and no doubt their gold paid expenses. It is the Lord’s method to provide the jvltctewlthal for all that he desires to accomplish, and when he purposes anything we must believe that he who owns the silver and the gold desires us to look to him alone for the snpply of all the need. What he does riot provide for, it Is not for us to take part In. , .. w & s t t x m i e t u m t e i a i t .
