Improved Uniform International S'undaySchool • Lesson ’ <B> REV. u. riTZWA I KIl. D D.. Dean Moody Bible Institute ot Chicago.) <(Ek 1929 Western New»n»l»r Union.) Lesson for September 1 THE RETURN OF THE SECOND GROUP OF EXILES TO JERUSALEM GOLDEN TEXT—The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek Him. LESSON TEXT—Ezra 7:1-8:36. PRIMARY TOPlC—God’s Care on a Journey. JUNIOR TOPIC —God’s Care on a Journey. „ All INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— How Prayer Helps. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT lOP--IC—Praver and Providence. I. T|je Leader—Ezra (7 :1-10). 1. Win. he was (vv. 1-6). (1) A priest (vv. 1-5). He was from the line which was to stand between God and the people, a descendant ot Seraiah. the chief priest who had a lineage back to Aaron. The leader of She first company was Zenibbahel. a sort of lilitsiry governor. The great need now was for a religious leader, for the people had gone fat from God. (2) A ready scribe (v. 6). He was a teacher of the mw ot God. A scribe’s training began at thirteen years, hut he did not enter upon his official Cuties till thirty years of age. giving him seventeen years of training. 2. His high ambition (vv. 7-10). (1) He set his heart to seek the law of the Lord (v JO). He definitely set out with the purpose to know God’s word. No one who purposes in his heart to seek the law of the Lord can fail. • (2) He set his heart to obey the Lord (v 10). He was “not only concerned with knowing God's word, but obeying it. God’s word cannot he known in its fullness by the intellect; it must be experienced. (3) He set his heart to teach In Israel God’s statutes and Judgments (v. Ill) He not only had a love for God’s word, but a desire to implant it in the hearts of others. 11. Ezra’s Commission (7:11-26). Artax< ■ xes? the king, gave -him a copy of the decree, authorizing him to lead a company' hack to Jerusalem. This decree empowered him; 1. To collect funds (vv. 15. 16). 2. To levy tribute (vv. 21.22). 3. To appoint magistrates and judges (v. 25 4. To execute penalties (v. 26). For this great favor Ezra lifted his heart t~ God in thanksgiving (vv 27. 28). He was mainly concerned with the fact that he was to beautify the Lord’s house and he acknowledged that God had put this purpose into the king’s heart. HI. The Company Which Returned (8:1-20). The company was comparatively small — <>nlv seventeen hundred and fifty-tour males, but including women, children and servants there were perhaps > x or seven thousand people. IV. Ezra’s Prayer and Fasting (8:21-23). The first Ching tha( Ezra did was to seek God’s guidance. All Christians, as well as leaders of the people, should seek divine guidance and help In every uew undertaking. No success can he realized without His help and blessing. The reason Ezra sought tne Lord’s help was that as far as possible he desired his mission to be free from human dependence. He did not minimize the dangers attending his journey, hut since he had assured the king that the hand of the Lord would be upon all for good who sought Him, he. was now ashamed to ask the king for a military escort to protect them from the marauding Arabs. His desire was to prove to the king ttie reality of God’s helps, for God’s honor among the heathen was at stake. This was a real test of faith, hut God was faithful. V. The Successful Journey (8:24- . ?2). God heard their prayer. The treasure entrusted to them was great. Perhaps the entire value of money and sacred utensils was about five million dollars. For a small caravan carryj mg such an amount of money to go through a country Infested by Yohher bands pas most perilous, but Ezra knew* that God was able and would protect them. Observe: 1. ('are and honesty (vv. 24-30). The money was weighed unto them it the start and was to be weighed when turned over to the authorities at Jerusalem. The incentive to hou?sty and strict accounting of the trust was that they were holy men and were entrusted with that which was holy because it belonged to God. Most exacting care should be exercised in handling the Lord’s money. 2. Their safe arrival (vv. 31,32). Some four and one-half months were required to make the journey. God brought them safely to their destination. thus proving that He is faithful io those who put their trust in Him. God’s Answer Not Always Yes A little girl had been invited to a picnic party. Being a devout little <iri. she prayed for fine weather and a happy time. But on the morning ot rfhe day the skies were gray and rain fell heavily. Instead of roaming in : the Melds she stood looking out on t ' irenched landscape. “You prayed for i fine weather, dearie.”- said her mother, ‘and God hasn't answered your prayer, has He?” “Oh, yes. He has, mother,” came the apt reply, “and He has said ’No.’ ” Fruit Bearing Are you saying: “But, what a fruitj less branch I must be that God must needs so to purge me”? Nay, not so. Have you not noticed what kind of branches i» is that God purges? Hear His word: “Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it” (John 15:2). It is not the fruitless but the fruitful branch which is purged. And why? “That it may bring forth more fruit” —Scripture Truth.
