LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 3
NEH EM IAH REBUILDS THE
WALLS OF JERUSALEM
LESSON TEXT—Neh. 3:1-7:L
GOLDEN TEXT—Our Qod will fight for j
us.— Neh. 4:20.
REFERENCE MATERIAL—Neh. 2:0-20;
I Cor. 8:9-17.
PRIMARY TOPIC—How Qod helped Ne
hemiah Build a Wall. «
JUNIOR TOPIC—How a City Wall Was
Rebuilt.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—Praying, Watching. Working.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Success Through Leadership and Co
operation.
Having secured a leave of absence
from the Persian court, and creden
tials from the king, Nehemlah jour
neyed to Jerusalem. After resting
three days without disclosing his pur
pose to any one, he made a survey
of the walls by night. Having thus ob
tained first-hand information he called
the representatives of the Jews to
gether and said, “Let us build the
walls of Jerusalem.” He then made
known the hand of providence in
bringing him to Jerusalem with the
authority to rebuild its walls. He thus
showed great wisdom in finding out
for himself the real conditions and
what work would be required to re
store the walls. The one who is qual
ified to lead in a great undertaking
is the one who has mastered the situ
ation and is thus able to remove ob
jections and show how the work can
be done.
I.—Preparation for the Building
(ell. 3).
The division of labor in this project
shows Nehemiah’s administrative abil
ity. A wise distribution of labor makes
difficult tasks easy.
Note some outstanding features of
this great work.
1. Stress Laid Upon Indifference
(3:5) In. administrative tasks it is
just that unfaithfulness should be
pointed out. Such action will be a
warning to some aftd an encourage
ment to others by showing the in
tegrity of the director.
2. Help Rendered by the Women
(3:12). Perhaps Shallum had no sons
to aid him. It is a fine thing for
women to be able to take hold even
in building a wall wjien there are no
men to do it. God’s word carefully
notes such extraordinary acts.
3. Stress Laid Upon Earnestness of
Some (3:20). If one knows that his
faithfulness will be recognized he will
earnestly pursue his tasks.
4. Every One Built Over Against
His Own House (3:10, 23, 28). Man's
chief concern is for his family. No in
centive to exertion is quite so strong
as that which concerns his own fam
ily. .-•tarSP .-»••• •» -
5. Certain Guilds of Men Undertook
Certain Work (ch. 3:8, 31, 32). Wise
administration sometimes calls for
such alignment of efforts. Men of the
same class and craft will usually work
better together.
11. Hindrances Encountered (4:1-0:
14).
1. Scoffing of Sanballot and Tobiah
(4:1-6; cf. 2:19-20). The opposers of
God’s servants usually begin by hurl
ing at them shafts of ridicule. They
called tlie Jews but a feeble folk and
asserted that the tread of a prowling
fox would break down their stone wall.
2. Conspiracy of a Sudden Attack
(4:7-9). When the enemy saw that
tlie work was actually succeeding they
changed from ridicule to an attempt
to throw the workmen into a panic
and thus hinder the work. When the
enemy cannot succeed by scoffing then
lie resorts to intimidation.
3. Conspiracy With the Jews (4:
10-23). They sought by means of the
Jews from tlie outside to discourage
their brethren by showing that tlie
task was hopeless and that at any
time they were subject to a sudden
and secret attack.
4. Greed and Oppression of the
Rulers (5:1-13). The Jews of that
day. like the profiteers in the recent
World war. took advantage of the
poor and oppressed them so that they
mortgaged their land and sold their
daughters into slavery. Nehemlah
boldly rebuked them for their crimes
and ordered a restoration to be made,
exacting an oath of them that they
would fulfil their promises.
5. Scheme to Take Nehemiah’s Life
(6:1-14). When Sanballat and Tobiah
failed in every other way they sought
by craft to get Nehemlah away that
they might kill him.
111. The Wall Completed (6:15-7:4).
So energetically’ did they pursue
their tasks that in fifty-two days the
wall was completed. When the en
emies heard that in spite of all tip*ir
schemes the work was actually com
pleted. they were cast down, for they
perceived that the work was of God.
Find the Rock Beneath.
The steps of faith fall on the seem
ing void, but find tlie rock beneath.—
Whittier.
Empty.
Four things are grievously empty:
A head without brains, a wit without
judgment, a heart without honesty,
and a purse without money.—Earle.
Cultivate Forbearance.
Cultivate forbearance till your heart
yields a fine crop of it. Fray for a
short memory to ail unkiridnesse*.
