HONORING OCR PARENTS LESSON 2 «51; M*rk 7 S-IJ; John 19 25-27. GULDEN TEXT—Children, ooey your parent* in th* Lord for tht* 1* right.— Epnisiaas 9 1. Right relation* between children and parent* have much to do with the peace and prosperity at a community and a nation. Experience ha* demonstrated that to be true, but even more basic is the fact that it is in accord with the promise of God. One of the sad breakdown* in modem Ide is that of proper honor and obedience to parent* by children. In all too many homes God’s order has been reversed and instead of honoring and obeying their parents. children <both young and old) have taken the place of "boss," and mother and father must obey if they want peace and rest The need for our lesson of today is both great and acute. The future happiness of hundreds of thousands of children and the present welfare of thousand* of neglected and bossridden parents will depend on the intelligence and faithfulness with which this lesson 1* taught in our churches, and the honesty of heart with which we all receive its truth. I. The Command and Promise (Exod. 20:121. We are told by Paul that thi* I* the "first commandment with promise" (Eph. 5:1-3) The Lord was not Hiking a bargain with man. or seeking to draw out obedience by a there is obviously a great reward in the observing of thi* commandment. Then, too. as the children of God (if we are »uch) through Jesus Christ, the first and mo»t important consideration to come before us is. What is the mind and will of the Maker of us all regarding this matter of the relation between parent* and children’ Hl* word* are plain—we are to ■’honor" our father* and ©ur mother*. The word "honor" carries with It a great many things, but perhaps the three outstanding element* are respect, obedience, and affection. Our Lord Jesu* Christ, who 1* the Saviour and then the Example of believer*, presents a beautiful pattern of true obedience to this commandment. If. Willing Obedience (Luke 2 48SI; John 19 25-271. The fact that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh only enhanced Hi* conduct. He who is divine present* an example of obedience and conBideHition both as boy and man which we do well to emulate. 1. As a Boy (Luke 2:48-51). The boy Jesu*. increasing "in wisdom and suture, and in favor with God and man" <v. 52), had come to His twelfth year and with His parents had gone up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. There moved in His heart the conviction that He must now be about His father’s business—an altogether proper and commendable purpose. but one which resulted for the moment in separation from His parent* This was far more serious than a physical separation, for we read that they did not understand Him (v. 501. Tragic indeed are the consequence* of our failure to understand our children. Notice, however, that Jesus did not withdraw Himself from their watchful care, nor refuse to obey them even though they fa.led to understat.d Him Equally tragic are the result* of hasty and bitter separations brought about by the disobedience of children. I Asa Man (John 19 25 27' The value at our lesson will be greatly reduced if wo sec only the responsibility of children while they are young. We are the children of our parent* a* long as we and they live. One marvels at the carelessness and hardness of heart that will permit men and women who have time and money for everything else, to neglect their aged parent* and even •hunt them off erto a public institu tion for care. 111. Hype critical Disobedience (Mark 7:5-13). Such an important commandment naturally held a high place in the thinking of the community To vio late it involved a measure at shame which men sought u> avoid. Sa the Jews at Christ * day devised a scheme which made ft possible for a man to appear to be very religious •ven as he depr v«d «« parents of the honor and help to which they were entitled by the law of God The man who was so avaricious that be did not wHh to support Ms aged and needy parent* eotUd en Erely evade that God-given responaibiltty by declaring that Ma proper ty was •’Corbor.." thwt io. dedicated by a vow to God.

Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

The desire to worship I* widespread. God gave specific direction* in guidance to wor-hlp Religion can not defer any of its benefit* until God I* worshiped for which purpose the Swbbath m appointed. Vx. 8, 9. “Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days ?halt thou laibor. and do ail thy work." Tile word "remember” is only tie-d in connection with the sabbath ole servance commandment because thi* commandment I* so easily broken It le kept holy by true worship. laibor. worship, rest I* God’s program for man. So important wa* the sabbath day that in case an Israelite labored on that day he wax to be put to death. God set an example for man in the matter of labor and rest with provisiono for worship. There ran he no misunderstanding of his will at thia point. Vs. 13. 14. "If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of th»- Lord. honorable: and eha!l honor him. not doing thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own w »rds; then shall thou delight thyself In Jehovah; and I will mik<thee to ride on th" high pla e of the earth; and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father; for the mouth ot Jehovah hath spoken It.” We are not to follow our own ways or find our own pleasure or our own works on that day. If we do, the day lose* IM significance, and we fall to lay hold on it. Joy*. In that day we are not Just to serve God; we are to delight ourselves in him The highest art with the greatest Joy Is (hat of truly worshipping God. V* 23, 24. "And It caine to pa a. that he was going on the sabbath day through the grain fields; and hl* dl*< iplex began, aa they went to pluck the ears. And the f’harioes said un’o him. Behold, why do Jig sabbath that which Is not lawful" Th • Pharisee* had become so devoted to a wise law that they regarded the law unto itself They Interpreted the keeping of the sabbath to the point of not even ndiblng out grains of wheat a> if this act was the same as threshing wheat. Vs. 25. M "And he said un’o them. Did ye never read what David did. when he n<- -d. and was hungry, he and they that were with him? How he entered into the house ot God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the shewliread. which is unlawful to eat ave for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him.” "When he had need’’ is the key. Within the bounds of reason and nec«*-sity that cannot be Justified at other times, liberty is granted for service In the welfare of mankind. V. 87. 28. “And he said unto them. The sabbath was made for man. and not man for the -ablmth Ho that the on of man is laird even of the sablurth." Human need ha* prefoience over ecclesiastical hoiitiuss. in these words Jesus proclaimcii himself both a* Messiah and Lord of the sabbath. God ordained the sabbath for man' good and it must not he allowed to work Injury to him. Vs. 1. 8. "And he entered again into the synagogue: and there was a man there who had bia hand with-

ered. And they watched him. whether he would heal him on the sabbath day, that they might accuse him." When permitting oneself to be given to the detail- of the sabbath program, failing to exalt and glorify God. one becomes narrow and critical and aynical. To »uch the sabbath Is not used for the spiritual welfare ot the man. V 3, I. "And he said unto them. l-« it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to xav" a life or to kill? Hut they held their peace." The best way to answer » question I* to ask another guextion Here the emphw-ls ie on doing the highest good. Certainly to heal this poor man would be a good work, an act of mercy that would please God For Jesus not to have done this would have given Just cause to question hi - mercy. Vh. 5. 8. “And when he had looked around about on them with anger, being grieved forth" hardness ot their hearts, he saith unto the man. Stretch forth thine hand.’ And he stretched it out: and hie hand was r« t ired as whole aa thi? other.” Jesus’ anger was a righteous Indig nation. Faith and cooperation are .--.ii-nf lai in the work ot God.
