LESSON FOR JANUARY. 7 JESUS THE LGHT AND LIFE OF MEN. The .studies for the first six months of this year are devoted to the gospel of John; the remaining portion of the year to 11 Kings, Ezra and iNehemiah, being a study with the prophets One year from now we begin the new "graded uniform lessons" recently adopted by the reorganized Interna tional Lesson committee. John was younger than his brother, James, and lived to be the oldest of the tipostles, dying somewhere between. A. D. 95 and 08. His name mers "Peace," though he is surnamed the "son of thunder" (Mark 8:17). Five [f the New Testament books bear his name. He blended the gentleness of a love with the force and vision of an eagle." The purpose of his gospel la learly stated (ch. 20:31). Only about 3 per cent of it is found in the other three gospels. Seventy-six times the word "witness" is used. The word "father" occurs 140 times and the naime "Jesus" 240 times. 1. The Word (vv. 1-:). Words utter thoughts; a word is an expression of .in Inaudible and invisible thing. As the Vord, Christ is Creator (ch. 14:9; 1:19), he is the source of light. "The word is God heard ; the life is God felt, tind the light is God seen"-Moody. T'his eternally existing person is called the Word because in him God fully ex [>esses or- reveals hiiself. The Bible is the written word because in it God spealks and reveals himself through this peioni who is the eternal Word (Ileb. 1:3). The first verse brings out the t'act that there are at least two persons in the Godhead, the one divine person in company with vhoni the word was, and the word. himself, was Giod; that is, was also a divine per son. Ie who by his incarnation be :'amie our Irother and our savior was Iirst our creator and the creator of aill things, and apart from 1m111 not any thing cane into existence. The Word did not become the light of men by his incarnation In Jesus of Nazareth. He was ever the Light of Men. The.light that shone in the Old Testament time shone from him. When sin came, night came. i1 The Witness (vv. 0-10). John the Baptizer cane for a witness. He was not the light. Some might - have thought him to be the promised Mes siah. This he denied. He was a lamp which held forth light to men concern ing the true light "which lighteth every man that comieth into the world." He reflected light (v. 8). John told all that he knew. . Testimony will expand as experience enlarges. The spoken word of mnt10 must confirml the experi ence of tile wordl in our lives. .John was a wonderful tman, a man whom G;od delighted to honor, but he wats a man~f. Men are not asked to believe iindly, but always upon an~ abundance ot test imnly. ill. The World (vv. 11-14). This worldi was created by Jlesums, and1( thlroughout its existence he has been in the world, tihoughl the wold~ kniew him1 nlot. This living light had been coinlg into tile world. and1( was not fully come unltil lie wats mtanife'st to Israel at the baptismual act of John. In ordher to be madie manifest tile "Word wvas made flesh" ini the person of Jlesus. Tile wiold did( not apprehend the light (v. 5) nor did tihe wvold which he was in and which was madec by him (v.. 10). Even Is own people, literally his own household servants, I. e. Israel, received -him not to themselves, but whoever receives him, even~ tile vilest sinner of earth, and1( takes him into his heart to be all Jesus desired to be, sa vior, iord, teacher, friend, that instant lhe becomies a child of God. We cannot attempt to explain this mystery. The unlion of spirit and body wa~ms in one person, a sample fact ; though unex plained, still true. The union of God with nt human- body, forming one per sonl, Christ Jesus, sometimes spoken of separately, sometimes as -n whole, sometimes aIs divine, sometimes as hu lnan. We cannot divide his activities into two sections eind 'say this is divine and this is human ; they 'are inexpli cably blended into one. This Christ really dwelt among its. He did not merely nppear0 to some persons, or conmc in a vision, and yet his abode among its wng only temporary, only a few years, and1( we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten Sonl. Tihe worild exp~ected a Messiah and( Is own crentiotn, his own inheritance received htim niot, rejected him11, opposed him, crucified him, their lordl, savior, king and messiah. Those wuho received 11111 and believed on his name became sons. To he a chtild of God we muist be born into the natitre and~ .character of God, into his spiritual life. We are metmbers of his family. We are heirs of all things through him, his joy, his love, his character and is blessing and the privileges of work ing for him and with him. We become heirs by being born of God, not of blood, physical descent nor inheritance, for the best of parents cannot besgowv this gift upon their children.
