SUNDAY I
chool Lesson
BY HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Of The Moody Btble Institute of Chicago.
Released by Western Newspaper Union.
Lesson for April 8
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education; used by
permission.
THE BOOK AND THE FAITH
LESSON TEXT—Psalm 145:10-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—The word of the Lord
endureth forever.—l Peter 1:25.
Christians are the people of one
book—the Bible. They read and use
other books, but the book is God’s
Word, and everything else must be
in accord with its teaching.
In this blessed Book they find the
only revelation of God's saving
grace. Other attributes of God may
be found in the book of nature.
There we find that God is powerful,
orderly, wise, etc., but nowhere in
nature is it written that God can
save a man from his sin. We find
that only in the Bible, God’s written
Word as it reveals Jesus Christ the
Saviour who is the Living Word.
I. The Eternal Glory of God’s
Kingdom (vv. 10-13).
The kingdom of God refers to His
reign over all things and beings, but
with special reference to those who
are willingly subject to Him and
eager to live for His glory.
Everything in God’s creation is to
be lifted up in praise of that king
dom. All His works shall praise
Him. They reveal Him in part, but
even that limited revelation is glori
ous. The man who cannot see God
in nature is indeed a dull clod. The
heavens declare His glory and the
earth shows forth His handiwork
(Ps. 19:1).
Greater and more precious in
God’s sight is the praise of His
saints. Dumb adoration is accept
able only from a dumb creation. We,
His saints, are to speak His praise,
to “bless” Him (v. 10). We are to
spread abroad among all men (v.
12) the news of God’s greatness and
goodness.
“His kingdom is'an everlasting
kingdom,” and thus it at once takes
its place as so superior to what men
call kingdoms as hardly to be men
tioned in the same breath. There is
no limit to God’s kingdom either in
its extent or its duration.
How stupid then that some, yes
many, foolish men and women set
themselves up in rebellion against
God. That is the height of all folly
and leads only to disaster. How wise
are those who yield their lives to
His control that their little span of
life may find rich meaning in the
One who endures forever.
11. The Abundant Provision of
God’s Mercy (vv. 14-16).
We are all completely dependent
on the mercies of God for everything
that we need for life—physical, men
tal, and spiritual.
Consider the food for the body.
God opens His bountiful hand and
every living creature is provided
with the food necessary for its sus
tenance. How this is accomplished
is a mystery and a marvel to us,
but God is able to do it.
Centuries ago men were fearful
that the earth could not produce
enough food to keep the increasing
population of mankind alive, but God
sees to that even when He has to do
it in spite of man’s waste and de
struction.
However, life is not just material.
There must be a satisfying of man’s
spiritual nature. He needs someone
to save him from his own sinful
weakness, to deliver him from his
sorrow and affliction. Who can do
this but God? And He does it (see
v. 14).
How does He do it? Through the
ministry of His Holy Word. There
in man finds salvation and satisfac
tion. The Bible is the light that
shines upon his way. It is his com
fort in sorrow and his strength in
temptation. It exhorts and encour
ages, convicts and cures.
How endless and how overflowing
Is the mercy of our God. Let us
"wait upon” Him, knowing that He
is not only mindful of our need, but
eager to do for us more than we
can ask or think.
111. The Saving Power of God’s
Grace (w. 17-19).
The Lord, who “is nigh unto all
them that call upon him” (v. 18),
is able to save because He is “right
eous in all his ways and holy in
all his works” (v. 17). Only a just
and holy God can deal with sin, and
yet only a merciful God would pro
vide redemption; but in our God
mercy and truth meet (Ps. 115: 1;
Ps. 103). He is both “just and the
justifier of him that believeth in
Jesus” (Rom. 3:26).
He it is who is near to all that
“call upon him in truth” (v. 18),
and surely it is such a calling on the
Lord which is in mind in Romans
10:13, where we read that “whoso
ever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved.”
Notice that God’s nearness, His
salvation, and His fulfillment of the
desires of man are for those who
call on Him and who “fear Him”
(v. 19). This is not a matter of
magical use of a name, or an out
ward profession of faith. It must
come from the heart, and when it
does, God responds.
So we find God’s word to be ffle
source of our instruction concernmg
those things which can make us wise
unto salvation (II Tim. 3:15). It ia
the Book of our faith!
