LESSON FOR DECEMBER 18 PAUL'E LAST WORDS, ■pw.T-JfcKt-- LEMON UPCT-n Tim, *.G-!L GOLDEN TEXT—I have fought » good fight, I have SnUhyd my course, I have kept the faith.—II Tbs. 4.7. REFERENCE MATERIAD-Bern. *:*T» 10; I Cor. IE:67t Bov, S;Sh _ / PBIMABT TOPIC—I^aet Wor^a Er«n. Paul, JUNIOR TOPIC—Tho Cloeu of a Vlcto- rjoui XAfft, INTERMEDIATEAND SENIORTOPIC —Paul's Final Triumph. __ TOUNG- PEOPLE AND ADULTTOPIO —Leeaona for Today From the Xafe of Paul, 1. Paul'* View of Death (v. S). Set forth in two metaphors: 1. An Offering (v. 0), "I am ready to be offered." This specifically meant a drink offering—a libation. The shedding of his blood waa to b# an offering poured out upon the sacred altar as an act of worship. Death can OBly be an offering tp God when the life ha* been wholly yielded to the do- Ing of God’s ,will- This was preemi­ nently trae of Paul, for he could say, “For to me to live is ChriBt” (Phil. 1:21). 2. A Departure (v. 6), “The time of my departure is at hand." The same Idea is expressed In Phlllpplans 1:23. “Departure"-Is a nautical term which signifies the loosing of n shliu from its moorings, In order to ‘enter upon Its voyage. It is not the end of the voyage, but Its beginning. II. Paul's Backward Glance at Llfs (v. 7). This backward loqk is presented In three figures: ’ 1. “I have fought a good fight" The figure here is that of a'soldier. The Christian life Is a-warfare o f dif­ ficulties, conflicts, dangers and tempta­ tions, As a soldier, the Christian must, flghf and overcome, all these. . 2. "I have finished my course,” Tha figure, is that of an athlete who sets, out to win a race. The Christian-life is a race to be run; we must not only begin the race, but. persistently run to the end. , 3. “ I have kept the faith," The fig­ ure is that of a husbandman to whom" had been entrusted a treasure. This treasure was the Christian faith. He was conscious of having been faithful to the trust committed-. He had many temptations to give it up, but to the end maintained his fidelity of his vow to Christ, III. Paul's Forward Look to the Fu­ ture (v. 8). • This is a beautiful picture of calm confidence at ithe- end of a period of faithful service. Though knowing that death was awaiting him, there was no . dark cloud before him, because the ' glory of a completed task rested upon him., ■ ■ ■ 1, Hp saw before him a life with God, Fellowship with God Is a prize greatly to be desired- 2. A prize laid up—A crown of righteousness. This award will be given at the cpmlng of the Lord to all who love, His appealing. IV. Paul'* Associates (vv. 9-12). L Demas, the renegade (v, IQ). Demaa has become immortalized a* one who was religious, but because of the attractions of the world he went after It. The lefte of the world caused him to turn his back upon principle, friendship, honor and duty, 2. Luke, the faithful, (v. 11), Per­ haps he was the best fitted o f all to minister unto Paul. Luke was faith- . ful whether in Shipwreck, imprison­ ment, journeying by land and sea. 8. Mark, the restored runaway (v„ 11), Mark had gone back, but he was restored. Though we have failed, we can redeem ourselves and become trustworthy. V. Personal Matters (w . 18-18>. 1. Bring tha cloak, books and parch­ ments (v. 13), In the jail the cloak would be needed for his comfort The books and parchments would be needed for his study and writing. 2. Alexander, the coppersmith (w . 14, 15). We have no way of deter­ mining when this deed was-commltted. It "was given as a warning to Timothy. 3. Defended l>y the Lord, though for­ saken by men (w . 10-18). Paul In bis last trying hours was much like his Lord—loft alone. He says, “All men forsook me.” It was said of Christ, "They all forsook Him and lied.” Paul manifests a like spirit, “I pray God that it might not be laid to their clinrge." Christ said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” Though It was wrong for them to leave Him alone, He not only for­ gave them, but prayed that the Lord might forgive them. Paul had so com­ pletely lived for Christ, and his fel­ lowship with Him was so complete, that he was Alone in this dreadful hour. « • Finding Joy. There are souls In the world who have the gift of finding joy every­ where, and leaving it behind them when they go. Their Influence Is an Inevitable gladdening of the heart. They give light without meaning to shine. Their bright hearts have a great work to do for God,—Frederick VV. Faber. Delight In God’* Word, Alt noble art 1* the expression of man’s delight In God’s work; not in his own.—Rusklfl. Recover Sanity on Deathbed. Persons who have been deemed hop* BiMly insane have been known to re pin complete sanity in thetr last lour* of life.
