BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, December 21st
By M. S. Briggn
Zaccheus of Jericho.
Golden Text: "The Son of man
came to save that which was lost."
Luke. 19:10.
Today's lesson happened at Jericho
as the Master and His disciples were
passing thru on their last journey to
Jerusalem but a short time before
the crucifiction. Let us inquire about
Jericho. This was a city of great
antiquity, situated 19 miles east and
a short distance ncrth of Jerusalem,
and but a few mih-s west of one of
the fords of the Jordan river. It was
a walled city and Lad a king fifteen
hundred years before this lesson. The
children of Isreal, when coming from
Egyrt. had spent forty years in the
wilderness and were encamped on the
east side of the Jordan. This was
just following the death of Moses,
on Mt. Nebo. Jushiia had been given
command. He sent two spies over the
river to spy out the land. They,
and their mission, had been discov
ered, and the king, hearing they had
been at Rachab's house, sent there
after them, and she feigned they had
gone and secreted them until night
when she let thera down from a
window in the eitys wall, and thus
made their escape from the city.
For this, later when the city was
!as Otoe county who will be pleasFd sacked, she and her home were saved
the Rabbi, the Prophet. Jesus had
gone to be a guest of a man who was
a sinr.er. for all tax gatherers were
sinners, especially if they had grown
rich in the business, in the eyes of
the Jews, for they figured that what
he had gained they had lost, and in
many cases it was so. Therefore, the
Jews objected to anyone going to be
a guest of such a man. however,
Zacchius said, "One-half of my goods
I give to the poor, and if I have
wrongfully " taken anything more
than the tax from anyone, I will
restore it four fold." The Master
said. "This day is salvation come to
this house, for as much as he is also
a son of Abraham."
"For the Son of man is come to
seek and to save that which was
last." Christ came, net into, the
world to condemn the world, but that
the world, thru Him, might be saved
and He came, not to call the right
eous, but the sinners, unto repent
ance. While the people wondered, Christ
spake a parable unto them, the para
ble of the pounds.
It is substancially as follows:
A nobleman had received word
that he had inherited "a kingdom,
which he hart to go a long way
to receive. When he was ready to
depart he gave into the charge of
his servants, his property. To one
he gave 10 pounds, to another 5
pounds and to another he gr. -e only
one pound. He instructed them to ;
use this in the best way possible
while he was gone. The men with (
the money looked about for some- j
thing to do. The man with the ten ,
pounds made a good selection and by
careful investments he found he had ;
20 pounds when the landlord re
turned. The man with, the 5 pounds
had also gained another 5, making
him 10. Now in the kingdom the
nobelman had been he needed some
governors, so he gave the first man
charge over 10 cities and the one who
had gained 5 pounds, he gave 5
cities. Now he comes to the man to
whom he had given one pound, who
probably was unable to handle it.
If that was so. his guess was right,
for he was either lazy and would
not work or afraid and lacking in
confidence in himself for he layed
down on his job. He dug a hole in
the ground and buried his one pound.
He came and confessed what he had
done. The money was taken away
and given to one who could handle
it and he was cast into outer dark
ness, for he was of no use. This
day and age needs men who will do
and dare, for one must try, must
work, have faith and make an effort.
