YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC The Place nnd Work of John tho Bap tist. We are today entering upon a six months' course of study In the Gospel of Luke, whose general hubject Is "Jesus thu Woild's Savior." Toduy'a lesson concerns the birth of John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ. I. The Parents of John the Baptist (vv. 5-7). I. When They Lived (v. fi). "In the dnH of Herod the King." They lived In u day when ungodliness was rife. The pilcsthood was very corrupt nrui the ruling classes were wicked. Zach arias and his wife, lived In u time when it wns not ; easy to be godly. 1!. Their Character (v. 0). They were righteous before God. To bo righteous before God Is a high tribute. Many appear to be righteous before men who sue not righteous before (Sod. Their llvesvere m muted that they .walked In the commandments of the Lord blameless. How beautiful It is when husband and wife nre united In the Lord nnd walk together In fellow ship with God. :t. They Were Childless (v. 7). Though this godly couple were well mated and they possessed the Joy of the Lord In their souls, there was it real lack In that home. II. The Birth of John Promised (vv. S-17). 1. By Whom (v. 11 ; ef. v. 10). Tho angel Gabriel appeared and made known the good news to Zathaiias. This exalted being, the special mes senger of God, was sent to make this disclosure. 2. When (vv. S-M). While officiat ing as priest this good news came to him. .mhaiias must have been defi nitely prating about this very matter (v. i:i). As he hurtled incense, which t.vplllcd pru.cr, the multitude without were praying. i. Characteristics of the Child (w. l.r-17). (1) Shall be great in the sight of the Loid (v. lfi). Though tho people did not greatly esteem him he was highly esteemed by the Lord. Tills Is Inllnitely better than If he had been greatly esteemed In the eyes of men or in ids own eyes. Tills Is the esteem for which we nil should long and pray. 1'2) Shall drink neither wine nor strong drink (v. 15). The child shall become n Nazarlte, separating him self from the sensuous things nnd ded icating himself to the service of the Lord. (.') Be filled with tho Holy Ghost (v. 15). Tho energy of tho dl Ine Spirit would enable him to lend the people to repentance (v. 10). (4) Shall go In the spirit and power of Klljah (v. 17). In this power ho was to prepare tho people for tho coining of the Snvlor and the salva tion which He was to bring. III. Zacharlac Asking for a Sign (vv. 1S-23). Although the aged priest was ear nestly praying for the salvation of Isniel the gracious promise of tho angel, which was the beginning of that snlvatlon. staggered his faith. He was unable to believe that that for which he fondly hoped and prayed would bo realized. The angel guve Zachnrlas n sign. He was smitten with dumbness which wns to continue until the ful fillment of the promise. Becnuse he refused to praise God In faith for this gracious promise God caused his tongue to be silent until the promise was fulfilled nnd his lips could open In thanksgiving and praise. Though he wns thus rebuked, at the same timet -his faith was strengthened by tho manifestation of the supernatural. God wants us to trust Mm, to bellevo his promises, no matter how contrary; to reason they may seem. IV. The Promise Fulfilled (vv. 57 W). When tho time came for the birth of John, Elizabeth brought forth n son nnd the neighbors rejoiced with her. On the eighth day they clrcumclzed the child and gave him a name accord ing to the Instruction of tho nngel (v. 111). The name John was contrary to the family custom. By means of writing Znchaiias mnde known tho nnmo which he would hnve by dlvlno instruction, At this time God opened the mouth of Zacharlas and he offered up praise, Youth and Age. In my youth I thought of writing a satire on mankind; hut now in my, ago I think I should write an apology, for them. Wnlpole. Lenity and Mercy.
