SUNDAY SCHOOL
... LESSON...
THE SON OF GOD BECOMES MAN
Lesson for Jan. 3. John 1:1-18.
Golden Text: John 1:14.
By REV. CHAS. E. DUNN
During the first quarter of the new
year we shall be studying St. John’s
gospel which Dr. Cadman called the
greatest religious document ever
written. Certainly it is the best
loved book of the Bible.
John was the youngest of the
twelve disciples, and a beloved fav
orite of his Master. Strong and
deep in nature he was called a “son
of thunder.” He stood with Jesus
in the judgment hall; he was pres
ent at the Cross, where the Lord
committed to him the care of Mary;
he came first to the tomb on Easter
Day, outrunning Peter; and was the
first to recognize the risen Lord at
the Sea of Tiberias. Later he be
came a venerable, lovable Christian
leader in Ephesus.
A beautiful story is told of John’s
farewell to the Ephesian brethren.
Too old to walk, he was carried in
the arms of his disciples into the
midst of their repeating
continually, “Little children, love one
another.”
The Good News as written by
John represents the loving recollec
tions of an old man recalling vividly
the overwhelming experiences of a
youth spent in close friendship with
the Lord of Life.
Consider this gospel’s striking
simplicity. Its sentences are gener
ally short. John never argues. He
always affirms, and his affirmations
are couched in brief sentences, crisp
and pointed.
Note, too, how fond John is of
symbols and allegory. The miracles
to him are signs and tokens of spiri
tual power. And just as revealing
names are attached to the figures
crowding the canvas of Bunyan’s im
mortal “Pilgrim’s Progress,” so
John attaches titles of wondrous
beauty to Jesus. He is called the
bread of life, the Good Shepherd,
the door, the vine.
And there are certain appealing
words John loves to repeat, such as
“I am,” “believe,” “life,” “light,”
“love.”
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Lay are now
occupying the J. M. Bryant home on
River street. Mr. and Mrs. Bryant
have moved to their country home
a few miles west of Blakely.
