TIIE SABBATH SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR OCTOBER 28. SnT?|nrt: The Prodigal Son, Ttike *r. 11-34 ? Golden Text: Luke xr., IX ? Memory Ver?e?, "iO-24 ? Commentary on the Day'* he*fon. 71. "A certain man.*' The simple, unpretentious beginning of the most beautiful of all the parables. The man is here the mi;'20 of God the Father. "Two sons." Both are Jews. The idea that the elder son represents the .Tews, and the younger the Gentiles is foreign to the parable, but in character the two sons may be said to be representative of mankind, for we have in them examples of two great phases of alienation from God ?the elder is blinded by his self-righteousness. the younger degraded by his unrighteousness. 12. "The younger.*' He represents openly wicked persons, such as the publicans and sinners. 1 If also represents the thoughtless, careless vouth. "Give me the portion of good-'." This will anpear plain when it is considered that it has been a custom in the Kast for sons to demand and receive their portion of tho inheritance during the father's lifetime. "He divided?his living."' The yielding to the request strikingly sets forth the permission of free-will to man. and also the fact of (Grid's bestowing many gifts upon even the unthankful and disobedient. 13. "Not many days." He lnd derided upon his course and hastened to lie pone, "(lathered all topether." Sinners that po astray from God venture their all. "Took his journey." lie was weary of his father's poverninent and desired crenter liberty. As soon as the bridle of restraining grace is taken off we are soon pone. The journey the prodigal took represents the sinner in his departure from God. He went into a "far countrv." far front tyuth and virtue. "Wasted his snbstanee." So sinners waste the gifts God has given thnn. Time, talents, energies, lite, all wasted. "With riotous living." In verse 30 wo see how low he fell. His body, mind and soul were debased and ruined. 14. "Spent all." He did not stop until his last dollar was pone. His passions reigned. This represents the sinner who has thrown away the mercy, favor and love of God. and has wilfully rejected the salvation of Christ. "A mighty famine." The soul living at a distance from God. and shut out from intercourse with Him. will very soon feel its own utter emptiness. A mighty famine will follow. "In want." Real want is ?oul want. The prodigal now felt ihc effects of his dissi-" nated course. I he steps downward were "apostasv, proflgacv, penalty." See Prov. 21: .14. 15. "Joined himself to a citizen." The same wicked life that before was represented by riotous living is here represented by servile living, for sinners are perfect slaves. The devil is the citizen of that country; he is both in city and country. "To feed swine." This was doubly degrading, and especially so to a .Tew. 16. '"Would fain have been filled with the husks." (R. V.) The husks were not the pods of some other fruit, but "the fruit of the carob-tree. used for feeding swine." He was driven ,to the extremity of trying to satisfy his hunger with the food that was fit only for swine. So sinners endeavor to satisfy the soul with earthly and sensual delights. "No man gave unto him." Those whom he had ? * 1 1 1. called ins menus now ueserieu iioxi. They had taken his money and then cast him aside. Satan's agents do the same to-day. The saloonkeeper will rob a man of his money, health and character, and then kick him out of the back door to uie. 17. "Tie came to himself." Sin dethrone* the reason. A state of sin is a slate of folly and madness, but the n <1iJiess is in the heart. Keel. 0: 3. His lack 'of reason is seen. 1. In that he called for hi* money. 2. When he left home. C>. When he went to live with harlots. 4. When he undertook to satisfy his hunger with swine's food. Hut ho now begins ito sense his condition and see his folly. Those who have once known the Lord cannot derive satisfaction from the world. Uread enough ami to spare. i ne lowest in mv lather's house has bread to give to the poor. Clod's people are abundantly supplied vith good things. "I perisli with hunger." Sinners will not eome to C'h;j^t until they see themselves ready to perisn. 18. "I will arise." He had left home by his own free will, and he must return in the same way. Hod compels no one to do right. "And go." Following the decision there must he an effort put. forth, fci returning to Clod lliere is something to do. "I have sinned." The first thing to do is to make a full confession of onr sins. 1 John 1:9: Job 33: 27. 28. "Against heaven." Against Hod. Every sin is a sin against Clod. "And before thee." He had also sinned against hit earthly father. Tt is ever a token of the sincerity of repentance when one views even the sins committed against others as transgressions against Clod. 19. "Xo more worthy." He is ready to humble himself. He knows that in justice his father could shut the door against him; ne will nlead for mercy only. 20. "He arose,." He immediately did all of thpee thing's that he had decided upon. "His father saw him." So God knows when we start toward Hini. Sin had made the distance great, but as soon as the lost one starts to return the father had comoassion. "And ran." etc. This represents the readiness with which God receives returning sinners. 21. "I have sinned." He makes this confession personal: he alms's himself This is always the result of tnje repentance. "And am no more worthy." All true penitents feel their unworthiness. They are conscious that they deserve nothing hut death, and their only hope is in the mercy of Christ. 22. "Hut the father." The father did not wait until he had finished his confession. In this we see the great affection of the father and his willingness to forgive. "Said to his servants." The father's joy is full, and he instantly issued orders to celebrate his return. "Bring forth quickly." (H. V.) Let us show at once by our actions that the wanderer is fnll?- volnstntpil "Put. a rine on his hand." A sign of affection anil that he was a free man. There is no license given here to adorn the body, as some have vainly tried to show. The true standard for such adorning is given bv Paul and Peter. 1 Tim. 2: !). 10; 1 Pet. T 3. 4. 23. "He merry." He joyful and hanpv. The Hiblo gives the children of Cod license to sliont. for jov. When Christ restores the wanderer there is general rejoicing. and he i? immediately treated as a son. The best that Cod lias is given him. and the past is entirely blotted out. 24. "Was dead." "Lost to all good, given up to all evil." "Is alive again." Here was special cause for rejoicing.
