DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1921

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL I SNWSffIWI Lesson (By REV. F. B. FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of Englfeh Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) 1920, Western N«mpa|itr Union.) LESSON FOR’JANUARY 2 THE CHILD AND THE KINGDOM. I — — ■ LESSON TEXT-Matt. 18:1-14. GOLDEN TEXT—Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, tho same ehall be greatest In the kingdom of heaven.—Matt. 18:4, REFERENCE MATERIAL—Mark 9:33; Luke 9:36-48; 17:1-2. PRIMARY TOPlC—God's Care for Little Children. JUNIOR TOPlC—God's Care tot Us. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Responsibility for the Younger and Weaker. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Our Responsibility tor Childhood. I. The Greatest In the Kingdom of Heaven (w. 1-4). 1. The disciples’ question (v. 1). The promise given to Peter in connection with the announcement of his purpose to build the church, and the paying of tribute with the money in the Cali's mouth, provoked Jealousy on the part of the other disciples. The transfiguration scene revealed the divine person and the program of the kingdom. Seeing that the kingdom was to come to realization, despite tho tragedy of the cross, the disciples thought ft best to have settled the place of rank in the kingdom. Their behavior betrayed their sad state of heart. Instead of entering Into sympathy with Jesus in the dark hour of his passion, they were supremely concerned with the dignities to be conferred upon themselves. 2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 2-4). He taught them concretely by placing a little child in their midst. (1) Condition of entrance into kingdom (v. 3). lie showed them that the great question which concerned them is as to Whether they are really in the kingdom. Their behavior revealed the fact that they needed conversion before they could enter into the kingdom. Before they could even see, much less enter into the kingdom, they must be born from above (John 3:3, 5). Entrance into the kingdom is infinitely more important than rank therein. (2) Whosoever possesses childlike humility is the greatest (v. 4). The child is dependent, lowly, and modest. Those who have been born again—converted, have these characteristics. The principle which determines rank in the kingdom Is lowliness of heart. In the kingdom we rise by sinking. The way is down. The more one realizes his own unworthiness, the more worthy he is of the divine favor and trust. 11. The Lord’s Identification With His Believing Ones (vv. 5-9). 1. Receiving the believer in Christ’s name is receiving Christ (v. 5). Through conversion we become God's Children, and so completely is our life interwoven with His that He regards treatment of us as treatment of Himself. Those who welcome into fellowslap the lowly believer welcome Christ. If this were fully realized it would sanctify our relationship with believers in Christ. Reception of believers includes all forms of sympathy and aid. To do this In Christ’s name is to open our hearts to receive Him. 2. The awful peril of causing a believer to stumble (vv. 6-9). To stumble means to give occasion for a moral fall. The particular reference was to | the carnality and selfishness which i was expressing itself in their conten- ■ lion for pre-eminence. Such spirit and behavior would stifle the tender life of a babe In Christ. Their behavior was not only self-injury, but a stumbling block to others Every , Christian should solemnly inquire as i to whether his life would help or hin-' der his fellow-believers. Am I helping | someone to a higher level, oc am I pulling him down to a lower? To so > sin against Christ s own is to meet a ; sure and awful fate. His doom will be worse than drowning.in the sea; with a millstone around his neck; it will be eternal fire (v. 8). 111. Believers Are Especially Cared For by the Heavenly Father (w. 10-14). 1. They are under angelic guardianship (v. 10). So precious is the be- j never in God's sight that angelic mes- | sengers have access to the very throne | of God, even beholding his face. So ■ high is the honor bestowed upon believers that the highest angels are sent to guard them. 2. iTlie Son came especially to save suchTfrom their lost condition (vv. 11-14). The Father does not Will that any one of these should perish. They are the objects of the Father’s seeking love. The salvation of I the humble believe.- has been secured ; by the incarnation and the sacrifice of j the Good Shepherd. Since God sets ' such value upon even the lowest believer, we should be most careful in our manner of life* before them and in our treatment of them.

Worship and Culture. Worship and culture, of necessity, go hand In hand. There can be no such : thing as true culture apart from the religion of our dear Lord and Savior/ Jesus Christ. The fundamental principles of true culture are enshrined forever In the Sermon on the Moijnt, the ten beatitudes of the Lord Jesus.;, Society, apart frbm the Foun-ialu-h^ad-of. Grace, can display to the world > nothing better tlian a refinement which is, at best, a veneer.— Rqv, Henry Lowndes Drew.
