"5 ■” ’ ■ " ■■ -y.j< | F P? Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, Hezekiah Meets a Crisis, II Chronicles 32:1-33, tor Sunday, May 29. Judah was worried by the victories of the Assyrians who wore conquering surrounding people and were making inroads on their territory. The great prophet Isaiah backed Hezekiah tn his taking God into account and leading the people of Judah to a strong faith in God. After the great revival described in the last lesson, the situation became alarmlug for much of Judah had fallen to the Assyrians. With the increase of faith' in God, there was an increase in the power to overcome the enemy. V.l. “After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.” “These things” refers to all the improvements made by Hezekiah and the re-establishment of worship in the temple. Hezekiah had been laying spiritual foundations that gave assurance of future success. V. 2. "And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem," Officers were sent to Jerusalem to giving warning of the proposed conquest Assyria was trusting in their physical strength and were making boastful claims. Here is a picture of Russia today. V. 3. "He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him." Hezekiah did his part in making it hard tor the Assyrians by cutting oft their wate rsupply if they beselged the city. By hard labor, a tunnel was cut to convey water from the fountains into Jerusalem. V. 4. “So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook than ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?" Here was a , fine eaxmple of co-operation; their CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE Seventh and Marshall Streets C. E. Lykins, pastor Sunday school at 9:3ff a.m. Jesse JEdgell, supt.

aim was one, and all efforts were united under the command of king Hezekiah. VA. “And also he strengthened himself, spd built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Milo in the city of David, and made darts and shield in abundance." For self-pro-tection, the old wall was repaired and then another one built around it, and provisions were made for watchmen In tower* to report enemy movements; darts and stones could be hurled from the towers. Later It will be seen that such instruments of war were inadequate for spiritual power is greater than physical force. V. 6. “And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying." Bvidenly the people had become discouraged and a word from the king was necessary for they had confidence in him. V.7. “Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him." As In the days of Elisha who declared the mountains were filled with horses and chariots, so the king had a vision of the mighty forces of God and so he could give words of assurance. V.B. “With him is an arm of flesh; but with ua is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.” Such assurance then, as now, produces calm and confidence in the power of God Which is promised to those who truly serve himV. 33. “Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amor, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel." No greater compliment can be given a man than that he was good. Such goodness is worth while recording. A Christian’s work will be recorded In heaven—“lnasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me."—The Rev. D. Carl Yoder. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of. Christ in the U.S.A.. and used by permission.

That supposition was questioned by a friend Sho recalled his admission at one me that he wws wrong. This wise man grudingly admitted saying, “Well. I was once wrong.” His friend asked, “When was that?" The retorted. “When I admitted that I made a mistake." Faith is friendship with God. If one's doubt is honest, it may be a basis for faith.
