ImprotrJ I SUNDAY i I SCHOOL I •• LESSON •> Letton for December 24 panel mi on THE GROUND OF UNIVEM4L JOT I.KSSON TEXT—Luks J t-IZ. Habraw* 1:14: I John 1:14. I GOLDEN TEXT—Bthoid. I brtat ytt food tiding* ot great Joy. whfrt shall bo to all the people —Luk* 1:19. What would you like for Christmas? Could anything be better than to find for your heart and mind that spiritual safety, certainty, and Joy which transforms Ufa? Well, that I* exactly what Jesus came to bring mankind It was the first Christmas gift, and it Is the best gift this year too. I. Safety (Luke Men need deliverance from their tin. They needed ft when Christ come They need it today. They must hove a safe refuge, on* in which they may rest secure. Al! the efforts of thia world to meet man's need are vbin. As Joseph Parker put It: ’ The world did not want an adviser. The world had advised itself almost into hell. The world did not ask for a speculator. Everything that man could do had been done, and men sat in the darkness of their own witdom. The world did not want a reformer, a man who could change his outward and transient relatione, an engineer that would continually devote hi* time to the readjustment of the wheel* and the pulleys and the various mechanical forces of society. The world wanted a saviour." Jesus came a* Saviour. The good tidings revealed to the faithful shep- 1 herds were to be "of great joy to j all pecple” because they presented ! the One who could bring them redemption from sin. That revelation is ready to be ' made again this Christmas, and a* I It came to the shepherds at their work in the field, so it may come to you on the battlefield, in camp, in the air. under the sea. In the kitchan, the factory—yes. anywhere. We rightly go to our churches to worship on Christmas Day, but let us remember that Christ is everywhere. seeking each one — yes. knocking at your door. Will you let Him in? Then you will have Christmas indeed! 11. Certainty (Heb. 1:1-4). , God ha* spoken through the centuries in the message* of many faithful servants. We do well to give heed to God’s Word through them. But after all they were only serv- ' ant*. This message of redemption is so vital and fundamental that God : sent Hi* Son, Himself the Redeemer, | to declare it. . How Anal, and definite, and bless- i ed I* that truth. The heir of all the eternal glories of God the Father, and Himself the effulgence (or the 1 dashing forth) of the glory of God. has spoken God's last word—His certain word —about redemption from sin. We all know how full of uncertainly the world is. how our own mind* are distressed by the very uncertainly of counties* thing* about us. What a precious gift from God to realize anew the absolute certainty we have in Christ He came to save, to satisfy, and to keep us. Note that He has all the needed authority and power to carry out Hi* loving purpose <vv. 3. 4). He who "made purification of sins” for u* to be’lieve. Is divine. He ba* all power. He is glorious beyond our I ability to describe. He Is God. We can rest in perfect assurance in Hi* redemption 111. Enjoyment (I John 1:1-4). God knew the need of man for real joy if life was to be pleasant and profitable. Being a Christian was never intended to be a somber, doleful business. No. indeed. "These thing* wo write." say* John, "that our joy may be made full " What did he write? By inspiration of the Holy Spirit he wrote Os Christ, the Word of life." R* had seen and known Him. th* Redeem er. He had fine and uplifting fellowship with Him. and declares that we too (as believer*) share in that fellowship One of th* "bright end gladsome thing* about th* Chriatmaa season to our fellowship with our family and friends It brightens the whole holiday season. How much more delightful i* the fact that we have "fellcwship with the Father and with hi* Son. Jesus Christ '' That fact really "makes" Christmas! Many will be separated from family and friends thia year, but Christ Is there, and they may have thia moat precious of all friends with them. The empty place aroussd the family table will be filled (if v* wish) by th* Lord Himaetf. Let’s keep Christmas with Him a a Ute unseen but nonetheiesa reef Guest, b fact, lei us do even mor* than that, let us count Him into the intimate fellowship of our family circle (Hfi two can make suefi a eirefo) ngt is what He want* 'to be—to you nd to srla-thl* Christmas Day. IM4 May hto joy b* your* te fofi meant e Thbt ii IM wish of th* writer of these line* and it gee* from hi* heart to th* vefy last reader w'o* b* in th* uttermost pan M th* earth A blesoed Christmas to you!
