INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?The Herald of th* Christ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Charaicttr and Work of John, the Bartibt. John was a great man. In announcing hi? birth the angel said. "He shall be groat in the sight of the Lord. ' He was not only great in the Lord's sight, but was great when measured by the standards of men. In the teaching of this lesson a survey should be made of John's life and work. I. Birth and Ministry Foretold ("Matt. 3:3; cf. Isa. 40:3) He was thought about end his work planned Jong before he was born Fie came as God's messenger His life was a plan of God. He was said to he a man son; from God (John There Is a sense In which every life is plnnned-*-everyone is sent front G?wV Everyone should remember that (rod has something to do with his life II.

He insisted that their false religion* he nhnndoned?their sinful hearts renovated?showed them that the viif ,Missions of their souls must he uprooted A change of mind, that is. the turning of the soul from sin to God, was necessary, lids Is a prepn rntien which must he made before one can see and experience the salvation of God IV. Jesue' Testimony to John (Luke 7:24-28). Hecnuse John did no? see the Interval between Hie "sufferings im * tuist and the "glory that should follow" he was perplexed. Therefore he sent a deputation to Jesus for light. The prophets did ru* see. or at least did not make clear, the interval between the crucifixion of Chris? and His second coming. The two events were so presented as to appear to he in close succession. John in his preaching has stressed the mtirhtv iudirments which should take place at the appearance of the Messiah. The turn things were taking (he himself being1 Imprisoned with the gloomy prospect of death), was in great contrast to the coming of the Messiah In fiery judgment?"the ax Is laid unto the root of the trees" and "the chaff Is burned up with unquenchable fire" (Matt. 3:10. 12). The trend of events puzzled him. It was not lack of faith, hut confusion of mind that prompted his inquiry. Christ's testimony defended him gainst any such an accusation. Christ vindicated him against a vacillating mind because of the storms of persecution. He was not like a reed shaker, by the wind (v. 24). He had lived a life of self-denial, therefore ne did rot deny his faith Ir Christ because of the dungeon (v. 25). Jesus declared that no greater prophet had arisen. That which perplexed John was the delay in Judgment?the day of Cod's patience while gathering out the Church. This was truth not dis- losed to the prophets?that which Paul made known?because a special revelation had been granted (Eph. 3:3). V. The Martyrdom of John (Mark <1:14-2?). While John was in prison Herod had frequent interviews with him. John boldly told him that It was unlawful > for him to have his brother's wife. He did Dot mince matters even with the king. This so enraged the licentious Herod I as that she caused his death. He sealed his testimony with his blood. Seeking the Name of God.
