JE8US THE LIGHT AND LIFE OF MEN. The studies for the first six months of this year are devoted to the gospel of John: the remaining portion of the year to II Kings, Ezra and Nehemlah, being a study with the prophets One year from now we begin the new “graded uniform lessous” recently adopted by the reorganized Interna tional Lesson committee. John was younger tliun his brother, James, und lived to be the oldest of the apostles, dying somewhere between A. D. 95 and 98. His name means “Peace,” though he is suruamed the “son of thunder" (Mark 3:17). Five of the New Testament books hear his name. He blended the gentleness of n dove with the force and vision of an eagle.” The purpose of his gospel is clearly stated (ch. 20:31). Only ubout 8 per cent of it Is found in the other three gospels. Seventy-six times the word “witness” is used. The word “father” occurs 140 times and the name “Jesus” 240 times. I. The Word (vv. 1-5). Words utter thoughts; a word Is an expression of nn inaudible and Invisible thing. As the Word, Christ is Creator (ch. 14:9; 8:19), he is the source of light. “The word is God heard; the life is God felt, and the light is God seen”—Moody. This eternally existing person is called the Word because in him God fully ex presses or reveals himself. The Bible is the written word because iu it God speaks aud reveals himself through this person who is the eternal Word (Heb. 1:3). The first verso brings out the fact that there are nt least two persons in the Godhead, the one divine person iu company with whom the word was, and the word, himself, was God; that is, was also a divine per son. He who by his incarnation be came our brother and our savior was first our creator and the creator of all things, and apart from liim not any thing came into existence. The Word did not become the light of uicn by his incarnation in Jesus of Nazareth. He was ever the Light of Men. The light that shone in the Old Testament time shone from him. When sin came, night came. II The Witness (vv. 6-10). John the Baptizer came for a witness. He was not the light. Some might have thought him to be the promised Mes siah. This he.denied. He was a lamp which held forth light to wen concern ing the true light “which lighteth every man that cometh Into the world.” He reflected light (v. 8). John told all that he knew. Testimony will expand ns experience enlarges. The spoken word of man must confirm the experi ence of the word iu our lives. John was a wonderful man, a man whom God delighted to honor, but he was a man. Men are not asked to believe blindly, but always upon an abundance of testimony. III. The World (vv. 11-14). This world was created by Jesus, and throughout its existence he has been in the world, though the world knew him not. This living light had been coming Into the world, and was not fully come until he was manifest to Israel at the baptismal act of John. In order to be made manifest the “Word was made flesh” in the person of Jesus. The world did not apprehend the light (v. 5) nor did the world which he was in and which was made by him (v. 10). Even his own people, literally his own household servants, I. e. Israel, received him not to themselves, but whoever receives him, even the vilest sinner of earth, and takes him into his heart to be all Jesus desired to be, sa vior, lord, teacher, friend, that insiaut he becomes a child of God. We cannot attempt to explain this mystery. The union of spirit and body was in one person, a sample fact; though unex plained, still true. The union of God with a human body, forming one per son, Christ Jesus, sometimes spoken of separately, sometimes as a whole, sometimes as divine, sometimes os hu man. We cannot divide his activities into two sections and say this is divine and this is human; they are inexpli cably blended into one. This Christ really dwelt among us. He did not merely appear to some persons, or come in a vision, and yet his abode among us was only temporary, only a few years, and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten Son.
