LESSON FOR OCTOBER 7 ABRAHAM, A DLESSINQ TO THE WORLD LESSON TEXT Gen. 12:1-3; 18: 17-18; 22:15-18. GOLDEN TEXT "In Thco shall nil families of tho earth be blessed." Gen. 12.-3. PMMAUY TOPIC Doing a Dlesslnc to Others. JUNIOn TOPIC A Mnn Who riccamo a Mossing to the World. INTEHMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC Abraham, a Religious Pioneer. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlO Abraham, a Ilellglous I'lonuer. I. Abraham's Ancestors (Josh. 21:2, 14. Abraham's people were, Idolnters. Very likely as a young man. he himself worshiped idols. Tradition furnishes us with some Interesting stories touching his struggle ngalnst idolatry. At nny rate, ids experience wns such ns to well qualify him to be the head of a people whose God was the Lord. He knew how hopelessly disastrous Idolatry was to the morals of the people, nnd, there fore, would be uble to lead them back to God. I J. Abraham's Call (Gen. 12:1, cf. Acts 7:2-3). God came to him In Ur of the Chal dces nnd .said unto him: 1. "Get thee out of thy country-" Ono Is tied to his country with a Btrong bond. Abraham had lived long enough to have formed strong attach ments to his country. 2. "Get thee out from thy kindred." Abrnhnm was not only to leave be hind lilm his native land, but his rela tives as well, even his father's house. Since his kindred were Idolaters, ho must leave them. Abrahnm was to become a pilgrim, to be without a home. Even in Cnnann, the only land he ever owned, wns a burial place. 3. "Into the lnnd thnt I will show thee." He was not told what or where the land was. lie went out not know ing whither he went (Ileb. 11 :S). Wliile he dwelt in tents during his earthly sojourn, yet "he looked for n city which hath foundations whoso builder nnd maker is God" (Heb. 8:10). And thus ho wns a typical be liever called out from his family nnd country, and renouncing Idolatry, he walked by faith, testifying to his and succeeding generations to the faithful ness of God. It costs to obey God, but there Is an abundant recompense. III. God's Promise to Abraham (Gen. 12:2-3; 1S:17-1S). 1. Tho Father of a Great Posterity (v. 2). Tills has been literally fulfilled. He wns not to go out primarily for whnt he could get, but for what he could do. The minister and mission ary forget their own personal bless ings In the supreme Joy of their con verts who arc the fruits of their labor. No name In nil history equals that of Abraham In Its honorable influence. Ills Is the name of honor nmong Jews, Mohnmmedans nnd Christians. They all acknowledge him as father. 2. A Blessing to Others (vv. 2. 3). lie wns not only to become great nnd to share God's blessings, but to be a blessing to others. He has become n blessing to countless multitudes. This Is the prevailing law of the spiritual life being blessed to bo a blessing. Those who respond to this law become the very touchstone of God, so precious that God will bless them who bless them, and curse those who curse them. God mnkes common cause with Ills people. So vitally is He one with them thnt It Is a serious thing to mis treat them. To mnltreat God's chil dren Is to lift the hand ngalnst God. No one who goes ngalnst Him can prosper. Not only is this so with ref erence to wilful acts against Ills chil dren, but neglect or refusal to do good to them. Christ regnrds all acts for or against them as for or against Him. IV. God Testing Abraham (Gen. 22:2-lS). Abraham's faith wne shown In thnt he obeyed the call of God and left his land and kindred, but his faith reached Its highest point In offering Isnnc. For ninny yenrs, ho had waited for the fulfillment of God's promise as to his heir. At last that promise was a reality. Abraham's hope was not tho ordinary hope which fills the heart of every father, that his namo and work may bo perpetuated through his son. A new nation nnd the world's Savior were to spring ifp from Abrnhnm through this son. Through tills grent ordeal, U faith responded enabling him to believe thnt God would glvo Isaac bnck from tho dead (Heb. 11:17-10). God tries nil Ills children. Tho moro important, tho more severe the trlnl. Education. The worst education that tenches self-denlnl is better than tho best thnt tenches everything clso and not that. J. Sterling.
