Lesson for January 5 THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS . — *1 •" ■ ‘ LESSON TEXT-*-Matthew ?l:l-2:23 k (Print Matt 2:10-23). GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt call Hlb ' name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins. ' < 9 PRIMARY TOPlC—God’s Care of Jesus When a Child. • JUNIOR TOPIC —God’s Care of Jesus When a Child. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TORIC—How the Child-King Was Received. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Childhood of the Saviour-King. The central 'theme of Matthew is Jesus Christ the King, the fulfiller of the Nlessiahic hope. In harmony with this pre-eminent theme, Matthew’ first deals with the all important question of His genealogy, for His right to occupy the throne of David must be established. The royal covenant was made to David (II Sam. 7:8-16, cf. Acts 2:30- - ; 32). In harmony, with this, the first verse of Matthew's record constitutes a key to the book. 1./The Birth of Jesus, the King (1:18- ' 25). I. Tlie Saviour was to be the seed of a woman (Gen. 3:15), the son of a virgin (Is. 7:14). This was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. The genealogy (Matt. 1:1-17) shows His Jegal right to the throne, but-, something more is required In order to be the Saviour from sin. He must be both human and divine (Is. 9:7). The Saviour was be- : gotten, by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, thus becoming Immanuel, which in its fullness means, j “God with us, God for us, and God i in us.’’ ■ j 11. The Childhood of Asus, the*King . (2:1-23). 1. Wise men from the East seeking I Israel's King (vv. 1,2). X The Kiiqj& reception was most ■ heartless. 'His own nation received Him not. His advent was heralded' by ' | a star which guided men of a foreign nation to seek and worship Him. pouring out their gifts to Him. These men } were Persian or Arabian astrologers— I students of the stars. Their attention was attracted by the appearance of an unusual star. Through the influence of the Jews who remained in Chaldea, or the direct influence of Daniel extending to this time, they -i had become acquainted with Israel's hope as to the Messiah. They may have known of, Balaam’s prophecy (Num. •• 24:17). 2. Hetod seeking to kill the King (vv. 3-8; 16-18). The news brought by- the wise men > struck terror to Herod s heart. He was not alone in this, for all Jerusalem was troubled with him. The news ought to have brought joy. but a glimpse at the social customs in and ’ about Jerusalem of that day enables us to understand why this news brought uneasiness to the people. They were living in the greatest luxury. Fine dress, sumptuous feasts, fine houses and other luxuries led to immoralities. This is why Herod and Jerusalem were troubled. A Saviour who would save them from their sins was not wanted. Their desire was to •continue in them. Herod demanded of the priests and scribes Information as to where Christ should be burn. The fact that they were able to tell him so promptly shows that they had a» technical knowledge of the Scriptures, < but not a heart for the Saviour set forth therein. W.e face similar conditions today. This all occurred in Jerusalem, the city of the King, the place of all places where He should ! have been welcome. When the wise men returned to their country by anI other nay. Herod slew all tjie male =•' children two years of age and undpr in Bethlehem and its coasts. 3. The King found by the wise men (vv.,9-12). ' ' < The wise men havlrjg obtained the desired information, parted immediately to find the King. As soon as they left the city, the star it guided them in the East, appeared again to lead • them oh. Not that it had disappeared from the sky, but the dwellings of the city no doubt shut out; the sight of It* Frequently, spiritual ; vision is obscured by the things of this world. The star guided theria to the place where Christ was. When they found Him, they worshiped {Him. 4. The King protected (vv. 13-23). (1) Flight to Egypt (vv. 13-15). To escape Herod’s wicked aim, God directed Joseph to take Mary and the child Jesus and flee to Egypt. In obedience to the heavenly vision, he went and remained there till Herod’s death. (2) Return to Nazareth (w. 19-23). Upon the death of Herod, the angel of the Lord directed Joseph to take Jesus and His mother and go into the ° land of Israel. By divine direction, he returned to Galilee and dwelt at Nazareth. The Lord’* Servant Lord, lam Thy vessel; fill me with the gifts of Thy Holy Spirit. Without Thee I am void of every blessing—or, rather, full of every sin. Lord, i am Thy ship; fill me with the cargo of good works. Lord, lam Thy ark; fill me not with the allurethent or love of money and pleasures, but with love for Thee and Thy living image, John Sergieff. Doing Little Things Let us be content to do little if God sets us at little tasks. It Is but pride and self-will which says: “Give me something huge to fight, and I should enjoy that; but why make me sweep the dust?" —Charles Kingsley. In Touch Wiy> God In living in daily personal touch with God there Is strength, as there is joy and peace, for the darkest mile of the untrodden way.—George H. Morrison i
