"A Prophetic Vision" Lesson material: 2nd chapter of Luke. Lesson verses, 25-35, 40. This is the most beautiful chapter in the New Testament, wonderfully simple in style, recording holy and mighty events with language of greatest delicacy. The opening two verses need not disturb anyone; the historical correctness of Luke's as- all canticles. Simeon represents him- eerticn is assured by his reputation self as a servant or watchman re of thoroughness. Joseph and Mary' leased from duty because that for r-.aae tne distance or eighty miles from Nazareth to Bethlehem, by slow ttages, and when they got there the place was overcrowded no room anywhere tut in a stable. But the Saviour of the world must be born in Bethlehem, according to prophecy in the City of David (Mieah 5:2). "Christ was born into the world so low down that no baby could ever tc hern lower." G. Campbell Mor gan. "It is very beautiful, tut, oh. t::c- pity of it, the tragedy of it, the lev.:'.; ic-r,;; of it; that in that hour of all hoars Ahen womanhood should be surrounded by the tendcrest care, she was alone." G. Cambell Mor gan. Li thio manner did Christ come into the world but the world knew him not, received him not. (John 1: 10. 11). Then we sec the adoration by the shepherds. The sheep they watched were probably the sheep destined for the sacrifices offered in the temple at Jerusalem. Shepherds play a great part in the economy cf Cod. Abel, the first shepherd, a man of high character, became the first martyr. Moses kept sheep while God prepared him for hi.i great work, a leader. David developed many strong traits during his years as a shepherd at Bethlehem. The shepherd is signifi cant of the fatherly care of God. (Psalm 23:1; Ezek. 34:11-16). See Christ, the good shepherd (John 10: 11-14). No proud cr haughty person ever heard an angel singing or saw God's glory in the shy or ever shall but the angel cf love found the men of men of the sheepfold3 by the fire. The first "ev-angol." from whence we get "evangel," "evangelist," was an angel. The shepherd investigated and found the Christ. So will every one who will honestly end sincerely search the Scriptures, find Christ and life! Was Mr-y C3tcr.ished at the shep herds" story? Did she publish her impressions? No! She and Joseph had believed God from the first an nouncement, but i?ll was locked up in the shrine of her heart. Of great importance was the event of circum cision of the child. (See Leviticu3 12:2, " . The first step in obedience to the word of God. Thus he fulfilled the demands of the law. (Matt. 3: 15). At this moment a man of an extraordinary character comes cn the scene, just devout, waiting and waited a long time, but who was wonderfully rewarded when he re ceived the Christ in his arms. His scul was satisfied and a song of praise was the expression of thi3 ineffable joy that filled his being. So does every soul have a song of praise when Jesus comes into the heart. "Still born children do not live long." It is the sweetest and most solemn of which he was commanded to watch has appeared. Now come3 the pro phetic vision, verse 31: "Which (salvation) thou hast prepared be fore the face of all peoples." Simeon visualizes the fulfillment of all the prophecies, that all the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God. As Jesus is the Light of the world, it i3 only through Him that man can find Gcd. The Atheneans tried to find God (see Paul's sermon on Mars hill Acts 1S:23-31), but fail ed in their philosophy, it is enly "by that man," Jesus Christ, he may be found. The prophetic vision goes on to tell the mother what to expect in the future. Simon sees the child grown to manhood, carrying on work of redemption; he sees the opposition develop, to the point where she will, standing by the cros3, seeing her son die, receive 'the swort thrust into her very soul; and the thoughts of men were revealed, we read in Luke 23:47, "Now when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God saying, 'Certainly this was a right eous man.' " Also hostile thoughts were revealed, we read in Mat. 27: 29. 40. "And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads and raying: "Then that destroyest the temple, and buildcst it in three day3, save thyself. If thou be the Sen of Gcd, come down from the cress." The priest and scribe3 had their say. (Read Mat. 27:41-13). Even the thieves added their revil ings (Mat. 27:44). The eld saint, Anna, about 106 years cid, deserves mention here. If married at 15, lived in wedlock 7, a widow S4, would bring her age to 10G years. She spent all her days in the temple, "all her days and all her hours were devoted to the service of God, had a blessed experience of see ing her Savior, and rejoiced by tell ing othc:-3 of her good fortune. What would she have missed had she not been there? Oh, how much do people miss ty being absent from the tem ple. The return to Nazareth and the silent years give the student much food for thought. Only once do we meet Jesus at twelve years of age going cjuietly about his father's busi ness. Joseph disappears. Jesus fol lows his trade, that of a carpenter, and provides for the home. Then fol low 18 silent years years of devel opment. "And Jesus increased in wisdom, and stature, and in favor EAGLE HEWS ITEMS XV. E.
