SUNDAYJCHOOL Lesson Vll.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 16, 1914 THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Leeson, Matt, xxi, 33-46. Memory Verses, 42-44—Golden Tekt, Matt, xxi, 42—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. During these last days of the week preceding His crucifixion as He taught daily in the temple and went at night to the Mount of Olives He spake many things in His farewell messages to this unbelieving nation. Most of them are recorded by Matthew, Mark and Luke, but some by Matthew only. This lesson, concerning the vineyard and the wicked husbandmen, is recorded in each of the first three gospels. It is the old story of the love of God and the base and sinful ingratitude of man. He loves the whole world, and “whosoever” means any one anywhere in the wide world (John ill, 16). He chose Israel to be a peculiar treasure unto Him above all people, He separated them from all people to be His inheritance, He brought them unto Himself that they might be a people near to Him, and He never dealt so with any other nation. He did this for them that through them other nations might learn to know Him for their good. (Ex. xlx, 4,5; II Sam. vii, 22-24; I Kings viii, 53; Ps. cxlvli, 20; cxlviii, 14; Isa. Ixill, 11-14.) Israel being set aside for an age. He is gathering from all the nations the willing whosoevers to be a peculiar people unto Himself that through them the world may believe and know Him (Tit. 11, 14; John xvii. 21, 23). The church, these called out ones. Is failing as Israel failed, but He shall not fail or be discouraged, and in His time and in His way there shall be seen on earth the consummation of His eternal purpose in a kingdom of righteousness and peace which shall never end. His dealings with Israel and their treatment of Him were written for our benefit that we might avoid their failures and bear better fruit than they did (I Cor. x, 6-12; Rom. xv, 4). We have seen recently, that Israel was compared to a vine and also to a fig tree and an olive tree, put the one thing always desired was fruit. Compare Ezek. xv and John xv. The most full account of Israel as a vineyard is found in Isa. iv, 1-7, where His care of it is described somewhat as in our lesson, and He asks, "What could have been done more to my vineyard tnat I have not done in it?” Compare Ps. Ixxx, 8,9; Jer. ii, 21; Hos. x, 1. The householder’s going to a far country for a long time (verse 33; Luke xx, 9) reminds us of the story of the pounds and talents, but there is evidently a backward look here to the days of the prophets, as in Matt, xxiii, 34-39, as well as to this present age. A summary of their treatment of the Lord and His messengers is found in II Chron. xxxvi, 16, “They mocked the messengers of God and despised His words and misused His prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no remedy.” He was only seeking that which was His own, fruit from His own vineyard for which He had done all that He could, some gratitude for all His love to them. Surely a reasonable expectation on His part, but this cruel treatment of His servants and thus of Himself was their reply to all that He had done for them. Having sent servant after servant, only to receive the same ill treatment, last of all He sent unto them His son, saying, “They will reverence My Son” (verse 37). The record in Mark xii, 6. is “Having yet therefore one Son, His well beloved, He sent Him also last unto them.” But they said when they saw Him, “This is the heir; come, let us kill Him and let us seize on His inheritance.” This they did, and our Lord asks what shall be done unto such husbandmen. Their reply is in verse 41. So He condemns them out of their own mouth. Then He showed them from their own Scriptures that all their evil conduct had been Toreseen by the God who so loved them. But it was as plainly foretold that the rejected one would yet be the honored one. He called their attention to Ps. cxviii, 22, no doubt having in mind also Gen. xlix. 24, for there is no more wonderful type of Christ in the whole Bible than Joseph in his sufferings and his glory, his cruel treatment and virtual death at their hands, their rejection of him and his dreams and their literal fulfilling of the same in bowing down to him for their lives after so many years. Our Lord had probably in mind also Isa. xxviii, 16; Dan. U, 34, 35. 45. See the references of Peter and Paul to the same great truths concerning Christ as the stone rejected, but yet to be honored (Acts iv, 11, 12; I Pet. ii, 6-8; Eph. li. 20). When men grow angry in their rebellion against God and nations rage and kings and rulers take counsel against Him He can laugh at their impotence and say in quietness, “Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion” (Ps. 11. 1-6). The believer may well rejoice that “the counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.” that “every purpose of the Lord shall be performed” and say gladly, “I know that Thou canst do everything and that no thought of Thine can be hindered” (Ps. xxxlii, 11; Jer. li, 29; Job xlii, 2, margin). But what about the fruit, the much fruit, which the branches should be yielding Him because of His great, unfailing, unchanging love? Is Hf seeing in us of the travail of His soul? Twisted. A foreigner meeting an American friend said to him, “How are you The latter replied, “Out of sight!” The man considered this very clever and decided to use the expression on the next occasion. ShortV after he was met by a friend who asked, “How are you?” With visible pride he answered, | “You don’t see me.” — Chicago I Hews.
