THE RETURNED EXILES AND THEIR WORK LESSON TEXT—Nehemlah 8:l-4a. 5,6, 8, 12. 9:1-3. GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall seek me. and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.—Jeremiah 29:13. God loves men and takes delight in blessing them and prospering them on their way. When He must punish them, it is a source of grief to His Father-heart. That fact probably explains why the period of the captivity of the Jewish people is passed over in I silence in the historical accounts j of the Bible. We do know that I prophets were sent to minister to j them and to keep alive their hope j of restoration to their own land. When the Jewish captives were ■ ready to return to their land, the silence of sacred history is broken, and we learn of their experiences in rebuilding the temple and the wall of Jerusalem from the books of [ Ezra and Nehemlah. Many and varied were the ob stacles, but in due time they were surmounted, and by God’s help the work was accomplished. Now the time had come for a spiritual re vival, and God had His man and His message ready for that hour. Ezra, the scribe, was God’s servant in bringing the Word of God to the people. The elements of suc cess for any revival are found here. 1 I. An Open Hook (8:1,2). The Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than a two edged sword (Heb. 4:12). That mighty weapon does not need any apology or defense. It needs use. The soldier in battle unsheaths his i sword or fires his gun. He does 1 not send pamphlets to his enemies j telling them what an effective weap on he has—he uses it and gets re sults. There is a place for discussion and instruction regarding the authen ticity and dependability of the Bible, i but if we make it a substitute for ! using the Word, we are on the wrong track. Era brought out the law of God and opened it to all the people. That is what we need to do today. Open up God’s Word and let it do its powerful work. 11. An Attentive People (8:3, 4a, 5,6). The Word must be heard as well as preached. Good listeners are as important as good preachers. The open ear and the open heart com plete the ministry of the open Book. Note the reverence of the people j : (v. 5). When the Book was opened, they stood up—a token of honor. We ! do not worship the Bible, but we should show far more reverence toward it and its message than is ordinarily the case. This is God’s Word, and man should approach it reverently. Note the spirit of worship in verse C. Be sure that any people coming to God’s Word in that spirit will receive a blessing. Wo shall see in a moment how wonderfully God met them, but first we shall note an additional reason for the splendid response of the people. We have before us the open book and an attentive and reverent people. What more is needed? HI. An Intelligent Ministry (8:8, I 12). There is nothing that any man can add to God’s Word, but he can, by the grace of God and the illumi nation of the Holy Spirit, be used in opening up the meaning of the Word. That kind of an exposition of Scripture is the very essence of real preaching. Topical discussions have their value. There is a place for book reviews and the presenta tion of social problems. But the pul pit should be primarily and always the place where God’s Word is ex pounded. Note that the law of God was read “distinctly” (v. 7). How im portant! That calls for prepara tion and prayer. That precludes the casual selection of a Scripture passage in the last minute before service. Then observe that “they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading” (v. 8). That takes more preparation and much prayer. The teacher or preacher needs illumi nation so that the truth may be clearly understood and presented. Everything was now ready for: IV. A Spiritual Response (8:12; 9:1-3). Revival came—and what a re vival! Tears and laughter mingled. There was sorrow because of sin, and joy because of God’s forgive ness. There was both fasting and | feasting. God was in their midst, working through His Word as it was given out by His messengers. It makes one downright hungry to read an account like this, hungry for a similar manifestation in our day of spiritual deadness. God is giving this kind of revival here and there where people are ready to go His way. The w-riter of these notes has only recently been in such revivals. Why not have them every where in our land? Yes, in your town or city? I ■ ■ "Here I’ve been going around dreaming about getting a new car as soon as the war's won." “But I know better. It may be 2 or 3 years after victory before I can make that dream come true." "In the meantime, the Gulf man is helping me to keep my old car from being a night mare. He says with Gulfpride* and Gulflex** it can be kept going until I get a new one." "So now, I’m not worrying. By giving it the best lubrication I can buy, I expect to keep on the road." *GULFPRIDE FOR YOUR MOTOR An oil that’s TOUGH in capital letters ... protects against carbon and sludge! **GULFLEX FOR YOUR CHASSIS Knocks out friction at up to 39 vital chassis points!
