Bible School Lesson Study!
Sunday, January 12th
By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb.
"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
