Lesion for February 4 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected aiwi* copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permissions* JESUS' CONCERN FOB ALL m i LESSON TEXT—Matthew 9:1. 913. 18-26. ~ GOLDEN TEXT-Therefore all things would that men should do to you. (ftriTe even so to them: for this la the law’and me prophets—Matthew 712 "■* ' What nt's man worth? Well, say we, thaf depends, and then we are prone to isndervalue him. Jesus had (and tatfghf) a high regard for the inhered! value of man. He saw pos-sibilities’-in all men. He had a love for them. He was concerned about their welfare, and they responded by an interest in Him. Jesus showed by His dealings with men hqw wrong are most of the standards and attitudes of the world. With Him there were: I. No Social Barrier (vv. 1,9, 10). The caste system of some lands, dividing "people into' social strata which separate men and hinder fellowship, does not exist in our land. Yet, in practice, we have such levels which are a formidable barrier in the; thinking of many (perhaps most) people. JesuS knew nothing of social barriers. tHe ignored them and went straight to the one in need. In our lesson .it was a man of position and wealth*who was an outcast among li:s people because he was a hated gatherer of taxes for Rome. Jesus saw in him a man of faith and a useful witness for Him. And He not only talked with him, but called him to be His disciple. Then He went further and, to the astonishment of His critics, went in to a j®eat feast where many such men were gathered. He ate with publicans and sinners, ’ not because He approved of their ! manner of life, but because He want- | ed to change it as He changed them. If. No Fear of Criticism (vv. 11-12). Many a kind and noble impulse ? has did a-borning because of the fear of criticism. “What will people . say?” has kept many a Christian from speaking to some shiner abo.ut . his (or heri soul. “The world is too much with us—” i and we all too often guide our lives and service by the possible reaction we may receive from those round about its. We did not learn such an attitude from Jesus. His answer to His critics made i it clet& that there will be no self- ! Tightens, “good enough” people \ in lichen. The Lord is not even ; calling them, so long as they trust in tiieii* own goodness. He came to : seek ai®tl.to save sinners (v. 13, and ! Luke 19:10). We, %o. may go forward without fear til our critics. That doesn't mean #iat we “don't care what peo- ; pie think” about us. We ought to 1 care, but ;f their opinion is based ’ on untelief and self-righteousness. ' it shoiljtl certainly not deter us from our ajimportant business of soulwinning. 111. ?>(> Limitation of Time and Place 4vv.- 18-22). Often the help of man to those in ’ need is circumscribed by so many regulations that those who most de- . serve feelp cannot get it. There are times and places for application ; forms, and tests must be completed, | etc. Doubtless much of this is needed, butyone wonders at times whether ourchkritabie impulses have not disappeared under a mountain of red tape.. Be tbet'as it may. how interesting it is to sqe that Jesus met the need when and where it appeared. He was on one errand of mercy ■when side woman touched His robe. Ho was not too busy nor too preocdftpiW to stop and give her a word dj help and comfort (v. 22). Is there not a significant lesson here for us in the church? The need is reason enough for the extension of out help. The place is anywhere' that men are in sadness or soitow, and the hour is now—when they need our help. IV, No Lack of Power (vv. 23-26). How often the human heart is ! prompted to help, and willing hands : are ready to follow its promptings 1 in loving action, yet we find that we i canno^ do anything. The need is too ; great tor our meager resources. Our strength does not suffice. We have »o money, or the situation is one beyond human help. How wonderful it is then to re member the Lord Jesus! A touch on thejiem of His garment in faith made the woman whole (V. 22). A word from Him brought tire dead little girl out to face (he- setnners of Jcs*ts, in the bloom of life and health, ■ - ■ Has He lost any of His great pow er? No. He is just “the same yes terday, and today, and forever” (tj£a. 13;8>. Why not trust Him? Du-you need help—spiritual, mental, physical? He is able. He has Do prejudice regarding your social position. He will meet you right where you are, and right now. He is seeking the sick and the sinful—"the Jost, the last, and Ute least.” Look t'l.Him by faith. The sir»t Fir i> ntai. The * th? eb'*’»pinz h|ait to cheer, hear the voice of Je*us.

With Russian tank columns barely an hour’s ride away, the German capital was reported gripped by teror and a rieing note of hyseria was evident even in official p.ro-paganda broadcasts over the Berlin radio. 'Party leaders were struggling by means of threats and cajolery to hold their people in line against the dual menace of the Red army and the surrender proclamation which they frankly expected to emerge from 'he forthcoming RooseveltChui chill Stalin meeting. The Nazis carefully refrained from mention of the n-w '“l4 points" in their domest’t propagan- ' da, but broadcasts directed to forcountries’ and in’ercepted by FCC monitars predicted that the ’ BTg Three” would amplify or modify tlieir unconditional surrender pregram in an efort to seplif the Ge; man people from their leaders.
