II SUNDAY International || SCHOOL LESSON-:-By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D D. Os The Moody Bible Institute ol ChK ago. Keleaecd by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 27 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council o, Religious Education; used by permission. THE RETURNED EXILES AND THEIR WORK LESSON TEXT—Nehemiah 8:l-4a, 5, 6. 8. It. 9:1-3 GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall seek me, And find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart —Jeremiah 29:13. God loves men and takes delight in blessing them and prospering them on their way. When He must punish them, it is a source of grief to His Father-heart. That fact probably explains why the period of the captivity of the Jewish people is passed over in silence in the historical accounts of the Bible. We do know that prophets were sent to minister to them and to keep alive their hope of restoration to their own land. When the Jewish captives were to return to their land, the silenee of sacred history is broken, and we learn of their experiences in rebuilding the temple and the wall of Jerusalem from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Many and varied were the obstacles, hut in due time they were surmounted, and by God’s help the work was accomplished. Now the tirhe had come for a spiritual reand God had His man and BKvjnessage ready for that hour. ttie scribe, was God's in bringing the Word of God people. The elements of sueejps for any revival are found here. g. An Open Book <8:1,2). The W’ord of God is quick and powerful and sharper than a twosword <Heb. 4:12). That mighty weapon does not need any apology or defense. It needs use. The soldier in battle unsheaths his sword or tires his gun. He does nM send pamphlets to his enemies tiling them what an effective weapon he has—he uses it and gets re,/Tliere is a place for discussion and irtetmetion regarding the authenti(§Jy .and dependability of the Bible, bui- if we make it a substitute for using the Word, we are on the wrong track. Ezra brought out the law of God and opened it to all the people. That is what we need to do today. Open up God's Word and let it do its powerful work. 11. An Attentive People (8:3, 4a, 5,W-‘ JTl’e Word must be heard as well ' as-4>reached. Good listeners are as I irrafcrtant as good preachers. The j opaßear and the open heart com- I pleSs-the ministry of the open Book, j Note the reverence of the people (v.-s>. When the Book was opened, they stood up—a token of honor. We I do not worship the Bible, but we [ should show far more reverence ' toward it and its message than is ordinarily the case. This is God's Word, and man should approach it reverently. Note the spirit us worship in verse 6. Be sure that any people Coming to God's Word in that spirit will.. receive a blessing. We shall see in a moment how wonderfully G v od met them, but first we shall note an additional reason for the splendid response of the people. We have before us the open book and an attentive and reverent people. What more is needed? 111. An Intelligent Ministry <8:8, 12). There is nothing that any man can add to God’s Word, but he can, by the grace of God and the illumination of the Holy Spirit, be used in , opening up the meaning of the Word. That kind of an exposition of Scripture is the very essence of real preaching. Topical discussions I have their value. There is a place for book reviews and the presentation of social problems. But the pulpit should be primarily and always the place where God’s Word is expounded. Note that the law' of God was read “distinctly” (v. 7). How important! That calls for preparation and prayer. That precludes the casual selection of a Scripture passage in the last minute before servi.ee. Then observe that “they gave the 1 sense, so that they understood the reading” (v. 8). That takes more preparation and much prayer. The teacher or preacher needs illumination so that the truth may be clearly understood and presented. Everything was now ready for: IV. A Spiritual Response <8:12; 9:1-3). Revival came—and what a revival! Tears and laughter mingled. There was sorrow because of sin, and joy because of God’s forgiveness. There was both fasting and feasting. God was in their midst, working through His Word as it was given out by His messengers. It makes one downright hungry to read an account like this, hungry for a similar manifestation in our day of spiritual deadness. God is giving this kind of revival here and there where people are ready I to go Hi* way. The writer of these notes has only recently been in such revivals. Why not have them everywhere in our land? Yes, in your town or city?
