"The Infancy f Jesus" Matt. 2:13-23. The study of this lesson includes Chapters 1 and 2. For the last three months of this year we are to make an exhaustive study of the first half of the Gospel of Mathew and dur ing the first quarter of 1940 we will study the last half of this gospel. Space forbids giving a preview of the Gospel of Mathew; we must con fine pur studies to the lesson text. To analyze the same, gives us four points to consider, samely (1) The genealogy; (2) The miraculous con ception (Incarnation); (3) The birth of Jesus and (4) The visit of the Magi. Taking them In order: I The geneology is produced to prove the descent of Jesus from King David; it is given by Matthew in three groups of fourteen each 42 in all, going back to) Abraham. Four women are introduced, Tomar, Ra hab, Ruth and Bathsheba; two are them with bad reputation; two are Gentiles. There is a reason for this. Luke has another geneology of 74 generations, tracing Christ's lineage back to Adam. Both of these are ample proof of the promises of God to give the world a Saviour and ful fillment of his promise to David and all Israel. The Jews are still wait ing for Christ. II The miraculous conception or in-' carnation. This has been and is yet a stumbling block for many. But it is the only sensible and logical solu tion of the problem of saving or re deeming man from his sin. No man, however clean his life may be, would be able to save another, because all have sinned in Adam and the whole race is innoculated with the virus of sin. The Redeemer must be a God man, who takes the place of man betpre the law, pays the penalty, the righteous God can accept, and through him and for his sake extend pardon to man. (It will take a wise teacher to make this clear to the class). Such a mediator had to combine God and man-in one person.

The finest detail of this plan was brought about in the fullness of time, just when the world was ready for the Christ to come. The events in the political world brought Jo seph and Mary to Bethlehem, to the place where the Saviour was to be born. There was a great expectancy in the world of some unusual event to come to pass. All the world was astir of something to happen but the Jews, who had to be stirred up by the Gentiles to search the scrip tures. Here is the helpless child, lying in a manger, who is God incarnate, clothed in human flesh; who goes through all the trials and hardships of youth; who is sought to be slain by a bloodthirsty monarch who fears competition. In this extremity God has foreseen and prepared a way of escape. This brings us to the Inst point to consider. IV The visit of the wise men or Magi. When the multitude that had come to Bethlehem to be assessed had left for home, there became room for the holy family in a house, which was exchanged for the stable. Here the days passed. Joseph working at hi3 trade as carpenter, thinking of staying here. A year passed, when one day they received royal visitors. They had come a long way, led by a special phenomena, a star, which impressed them in such a way (they, by the way, were astrologers) that they believed a great event had taken place somewl-ere. (Were they ac quainted wit. the Jewish messianic hope?) God's leading brings them to Jerusalem; here they found noth ing but ignorance. The priests and scribes found in the prophets where their Saviour was to be born but they did not go to find and worship him. . But the Gentiles, when in structed where to go, follow the gleam; and behold the star appears again. , They recognize it, and it leads them ,to the Christ. They are , rich tang. give of their wealth to the Babe. We .-regard this visit as prophetic, of the Gentiles' entrance' into the Kins dom.. .When we saw in the geneolopy two Gentile women, that was fore shadowing the entrance of the Gen tile world into the new covenant. Who can understand or fathom the deep plans of God? It is the devino. wisodm of the Creator that could evolve such a plan, and by it his son Is enabled to take his journey into Egypt until such time that God should call his son out of Egypt.
