JUDAH: AN EXAMPLE OF SELF-SACRIFICE LESSON TEXT—GenesU 44:18-34. GOLDEN TEXT—Hereby perceive we the love of God. because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our Uvea for the brethren.—I John 3:1C. The family is still the fundamental unit of society, and is therefore of more importance than the church, the state, or the social order of which it is a vital part. Every force which encourages the breakdown of the sacred relationships of the home and family is set for the destruction of society ^itself. Men have too often chosen to go the way of the flesh, and therefore they have disregarded God’s plan and purpose. But marriage is just as sacred as ever in His sight; the home is to be kept for Him; and brotherly love still finds a high place among the virtues of real men. Today’s lesson is a continuation of the story of Joseph’s life. As we study it we must bear in mind Jos eph’s dealings with his brethren, who as yet did not recognize him as the one they had sold into cap tivity. He was bringing them kind ly but definitely to the point of real repentance, so that he could show himself gracious to them. To do so he had brought disaster upon them. Being happily on their way homeward with a new supply rt food, they were overtaken and proved to be thieves, and Benja min, the beloved of their father Ja cob, stood condemned by their own words, to death. In that crisis the mouths of the others seemed closed, but Judah, who had really saved Joseph’s life (Gen. 37:26, 27) and who had ap parently come to himself as a man of essential goodness, pleaded for Benjamin’s life. That plea present ed a truly sacrificial brotherly love, as he manifested I. Courage (v. 18). Easy rests the yoke of family life as long as all is joyful and prosper ous. But when adversity strikes, when sorrow comes, or sickness, or sin, then the true test of devotion is at hand. It was a brave and manly thing for Judah to stand before the one whom he knew only as the man who was “even as Pharaoh.’’ The circumstances were all against him. He expected the flaming anger of the offended ruler. His brethren had collapsed in despai: It was one of those dark hours which come to every family when someone must demonstrate true love by being strong-hearted and steady. n. Intelligence (w. 19-29). Crises call for more than a cheer ful smile or an encouraging word, much as they may mean in such an hour. We must be prepared by our close contact with our loved ones to speak and act with vigor and as surance. Judah’s plea is a masterpiece of argumentation and appeal, demon strating that he was not only well- informed about his family and its problems, but ready to use his knowledge skillfully and effectively. ID. Self-Denial (w. 30-33). One step deeper goes the devotion of this man to his father and his brother. He had done no wrong that merited punishment, but evidently his brother Benjamin had been guilty. Had he been of the spirit of Cain he would have said, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” and let him answer for himself. Why should Ju dah suffer for another? Why should he allow himself to be imprisoned in a strange land to save his father from sorrow and his brother from what seemed to be the just reward for his deeds? Thus reasons the man of the world, but such is not the language of the true brother, who says, “Let thy servant abide instead of the lad as atjondman.” IV. Love (v. 34). Love for father and brother un derlies all of the courage, conviction and self-sacrifice of a man like Ju dah. In his younger years, and possibly under the influence of his brothers, he had failed in that re spect, but now his real devotion to his brother was evident. That affection was a real, power ful, and beautiful thing, and yet it is but a faint prefiguring of the af fection of the One who “sticketh closer than a brother,” who “though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (Prov. 18: 24; II Cor. 8:9). Let us improve the opportunity to review our relations with our own family, to determine whether there is aught that we in intelligent and courageous self-sacrifice should do for our own.
