FOR SEPTEMBER 28

] REVIEW: JESUS OUR SAVIOUR
AND KING, OR PARABLES
I OF THE KINGDOM.
The method of review should be determined
by the grade of the class.
For the Primary the review should
center in the topic, "Jesus and the *
**** Children ;n the Junior, "Choosing
Jesus as Saviour;" Intermediate. "Accepting
Christ's Program for Our
Livesfor the Senior and Adult
grades the subject of the church, noting
its membership, ordinances, worship,
and service. ^ better way would
be to study more fully the parables of
the kingdom as set forth in Matthew
13:44-50.
-I. The Parabie of the Hid Treasure
\r fr-14).
The usual interpretation of this
I parable, making Christ the hid treasure
for which a sinner must give up
everything in order to buy his salvation,
must be rejected for the following
reasons:' (1) Christ is not hidden
in a field, but has-been lifted up
and made a spectacle to the world.
(2) Nobody 1ias ever been obliged to
buy the "world In order to get Christ.
(3) Salvation cannot be purchased,
for it is God's free and gracious gift.
(4) No warrant is ever held out to a
mail to conceal his religion after it is
obtained.
1. The field. This is the world
(v. 3S). Fortunately this landmark
has-been made by Christ himself.
2. The treasure. In Psalm 135:4 we
- . are told that Israel, the chosen people.
Is his treasure. The same truth is set
forth in different places and ways
(Dent. 7:6-8; 14:2: 26:18: 32:8. 9).J
0. When Christ uttered this parable the i
S ten tribes were already concealed from !
human observation, and as to the rest :
of Israel it was a prophecy of that j
which was to follow. The kingdom as
g. to Its relation and bearing is now hidden.
Christ was primarily sent to the
tJews; for their sake the field was
bought.
j, 3. The Purchaser: the Son of God j
<3bfcu 3:10). e
None out the Son of God . had such j
^sources to buy the world.
4. The .mrchase price. This was !
tbe precious blood of the Son of God, j
which is worth infinitely more than i
^ silver and gold and the treasures of |
pi Che earn (I Peter 1:13, 19; Isa. 53). j
jf;' IL The ^arable of the Merchantman
fy Seeking Goodly Pearls (vv. 45. 46). j
?;; . I. Tb<* merchantman. He is ac- I
fiyeiy engaged in search for pearls. !
* / . Ia this se irch he discovers one pearl \
:Cr. of groat price. This merchantman
is none other than Christ himself. The j
' whole activity of the Father. Son. !
A , ? !
- pr"q spirit, since rne ran or man. j
h-cc seeking those who are lost, j
2. The urchasing price. The mer- j
chautme.u sold all?impoverished him- j
self in er to buy the pearl. The '
poor lost sinner could not buy Christ. !
It's salvation is without money and i
without price. Christ did Impoverish i
fcimseif turned his back upon the j
heavenly glory (Phil. 2:G-S) to pur- !
chase the one pear! of great price by
his own precious blood (Epli. 5:2"; Ij
Pet. 1:18, 19). . j
3. The pearl of great price. This is j
the church. The merchantman will j
find other pearls of value, but the j
peerless gem set above all others will j
be the church which he has purchased i
with his own blood.
111. The Parable of the Drag Net!
: . (w. 47, 50).
This gives us a picture of the consummation
of the kingdom. No one
can mistake the meaning here. Note;
1. The sea. This word when used in
a figurative sense denotes peoples and
y multitudes (Dan. 7:3. Rev. 17:15).
2. The drag net. The word "net" in
the authorized version is properly j
translated "dragnet."
3. The net drawn to the shore when j
N full. <
4. The assortment made by the
angels.
5. The destiny of the bad fish, or j
I wicked men.
He Draws Hearts of Men.
On that day when our Lord Jesus
Christ was lifted up. all sorts of people
were drawn to him. There were
those who loved him dearly at the foot j
of the Cross. There were scribes, and
learned men, and aristocrats, and
priests and common people. There
were simple peasants from the country.
shepherds from the hilis, and a
motley crowd from the city streets.
There were Roman soldiers and fJniiIlcan
pilgrims. It was n erowd representative
of all the world's people, and '
today when be Is lifted up even as of |
old. he draws to himself the hearts :
of men.
The Work That God Appoints.
I am not bound to make the world f
go richf. but only to discover and j
to do with cheerful heart the work that j
God appoints.?Joan In^r-low.
