' J THE • TBIBLE L, SPEMS ■ • 1 inJarnaßonal Ur fi _ nn Sunday Scbftol Lwont Uy LOUft >. HEWT6M. 0. 0. SCRIPTURE: Mark 4:26-29; Luke 4: 16 22a; 17:20-21; Romans 14:17. DEVOTIONAL READING: Isaiah 60: 1-3, 10-14. The Kingdom of God Lesson for March 21, 1948 JESUS went back to his boyhood home in Nazareth, and on the Sabbath he went into the synagogue, “as was his custom.’’ They gave him the

Book of Isaiah, from which he read a passage in the 61st chaptej, adding, “This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears,” Luke 4:21. Jesus had come to let people know about God — to reI veal the Father’s . perfect love for all men. He loved the

Jr Dr. Newton

Bible, and was constantly reading it, which in his day was the Old Testament only. And he loved the Sabbath day, which we now call the Lord’s day. Beginning with his res- 1

urrection, the first day of the week has been observed as the Lord’s day. And Jesus loved the appointed places of worship, and was always found in some synagogue on the Sabbath. Don’t you wish you might have been in Nazareth that day when he stood up to read the Scripture? • * * WHAT HE CAME TO DO JESUS, I repeat, came to reveal God to men, w’hich is but another way of saying that he came to teach men about the Kingdom of God. Here we shall need to read Mark 4:26-29, and Romans 14:17. “The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed into the ground,” said Jesus; and Paul, in Romans 14:17, says, “The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Jesus, then, came to establish a kingdom within the hearts of men. It means the rule of God in human hearts. What he wills, we gladly do. It manifests itself in the daily life of the individual, in the home, in the school, in the church—everywhere. • * *

“THY KINGDOM COME" SO VITAL is this truth for the I Christian that Jesus, in the pattern prayer, teaches us to say, “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on . earth as in heaven.” If we live in the atmosphere of this prayer, we shall embody daily the fruits of the coming Kingdom of God. If we really “seek first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness,” we lift the level of life wherever we stand and serve. This is precisely what Jesus did. “He went about doing good.” We help to answer the prayer, “Thy Kingdom come," when we do ' with all our might what our hands I find to do —in the home, in the community, in the church. * * • KINGDOM OF GOD AMONG MEN IT IS not enough to consider this truth in terms of some far-off dramatic event. It is a present force and factor in today’s world. One day the Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God should come. He told them that it would not come with observation—that it is within the hearts of men. What did he mean? I believe that he meant just this, that the Kingdom of God will and must manifest itself in the common affairs of everyday life. We may hinder its manifestation. We may retard its coming. On the other hand, we may make it manifest and hasten its spread to earth's remotest bounds. How? By yielding ourselves to the rule and reign of God in every relationship of life: In race relations, in social service, in relief to the afflicted, in united effort for peace, in better housing, in better recreational facilities, in educational opportunities for all. The Kingdom of God is not an impractical theory, but a working principle, even as the leaven works in the loaf. WHEN WILL IT COME? THE Kingdom of God will come I when redeemed hearts every- j where enthrone God in their whole attitude and purpose. Then, and not until then. Will it come? This is a stubborn question. From our viewpoint, it may seem doubtful; but Jesus declares that it will come. “I have overcome the world,” he declares. The one question for you and for t me, What part shall I have in the coming of the Kingdom of God upon the earth? We each decide by our willingness or unwillingness to follow him. • • • Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace ’ and harmony with all. — George Washington’s Farewell Address.
