LESSON FOR DECEMBER 25 CHRISTMAS LEMON—t H f VISIT ' OF TH I WISE MEN. WESSON TEXT—Matt.

Th# Kina Earneatly Sought (w. L 2). Them Wise Men who sought Jesus were either Arabian or Persian as- trplogers—atudents of the stare. Ths appearance of an unusual star at­ tracted their attention, fl Perhaps they were acquainted with the famous prophecy of Balaam (Num. 24:17). Doubtless through the influence of the Jews who remained in Chaldea, or the direct Influence of Daniel extending to , this time, they had become ac­ quainted with the hope of a Messiah. The light they had was dim, but they lived up to the best they had. To those//who Act upon the best light they have, God atwaya gives mere. To those whp refuse to.act upon the knowledge given, God not only re­ fuses to give more, but brings .into confusion that which they already possess (Matt. 25:28). These men were really .wise. Let ns leam from them: . 1. That all true wisdom leads to the Savior, for He is the Logos—the fulness of wisdom. 2. That God’s Word shall not return unto him void (Isa. 55 ;11). The seed* cast upon the waters of the East brought forth frglt after many'days. No work done for the Lord eventually fails. 3. The grace of God calls men front unexpected quarters. Some who have the least opportunities give the great­ est, honors to Christ-, while others, blessed with the richest opportunities, Shut Him out. II, Herod Seeking to Kill the King (vv. 3-8). The news brought by. the Wise Men struck terror to Herod’s heart. H* was not alone in this, for all Jerusalem was troubled with him. The news ought to have brought joy.7”A glimpse at the social customs in and about Jerusalem at that day will enable ui to Understand why this news brought uneasiness to the people. - Thoy were living in the greatest luxury. Fine dresses, sumptuous feasts, fine houses, etc., Med to gross Immoralities. They did not want a Savior who would save them from their sins-rrtbey wanted to continue in them. Herod demanded of the priests and scribes infoiroation as. to where Christ should be bom,. They sooh were able to tell biro, These tjeople had a. technical knowledge of the Scriptures, but had ho heart for. the Savior set forth therein. They had no disposition to seek Hinu This, all occurred in Jeru- salem, the city'Of the King—-the place of all places -where He should have been’ welcomed, Jt seems where the greatest privileges are, there is the greatest Indifference shown as to Spiritual matter*. * \ III. The King Found (vv. 8-12). TheWiseMen having obtained the de­ sired information, started'immediately to find the Kin);. As soon as they left the city, the star which had guided them from the East appeared again to lead them on. Not that Ithad disappeared from the sky, bu fthe .dwellings of the city, no donbf, shut liut the sight of It. Oftentimes out spiritual vision is obscured or hidden by the things of this world. The star guided them to the place where the Christ was. Those who earnestly seek Jesus shall find Him, though alt hell, oppose, When they found Him they worshiped Him. In this they displayed true faith. They did not see any miracles, only a babe, yet they worshiped Him aa King, “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed" (John 20:20). Note God’s overruling providence in ail this. Many hundred years before, the prophet said that Christ should come from Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). God so ordered kffalrs that Mary should be brought to that city to give birth to Christ. God so ordered that these men should depart another way, therer by defeating Herod’s wicked purpose. The Lord put gifts Into the hands of Joseph and Mary before going to Egypt. Doubtless'this served a good purpose In meeting their expenses dur­ ing their stay there. Truly “All things work together for good to them that love God." (Rom. 8:28). 0* Heating the Wall of 4*rutal*m. Ah i at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levltes out of nil tlieir places, to bring them to Jerusalem io keep the dedication with gladness, both wtth thanksgivings atad with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps,—Nohemiah 1,2:27.
