ALL NATIONS UNDER GOD
1 nt rnaiioniil Sunday School Lesson for November 11, 1972
LKSSON TEXT: Isalsh 45:14; A rim S:7-8; Jonah:
I Timothy 2 : 15.
: Tpday we deal with a trait that la common to all nations;
..spnnKnifi from pride of country, it's roota are admirable..but
the flowering can sometimes be less than perfect! And It is a
failing common on a nationalistic basis today, as it waa in
Paul's, time. -"; :
v In our text for today we find Paul (a Jew) speaking to the
..Greeks, rebuking their sense of nationalistic exclusiveness,
and reminding them of God's creative work, His activity in
the. History of men, and His redemptive purpose for ALL
.riatlons. '
It is unfortunate, but-human nature being what it is nil
. good things are susceptible to abuse, Pride of race can
degenerate into racism; patriotism can become oa high
specialized a commodity that it becomes isolationism.,,
breeding contempt and disregard of others.
Today's Lesson can be broken down into three areas; (it)
Codies AIL nations; (2) God Judges ALB, nations; and (3)
Cdd.'pravidps salvation: for ALL nations,
Studying we And that the return of the exiles was made.
: jHjHRlWe by the conquest of Babylon by Cyrus the Persian,
f yrus had become an Instrument in God's hands I He was to
play at Important part in the history of Israel, Israel, ,
therefore, become Involved, whether she liked It or not, with
' a foreign power. And In that Involvement Israel was taught a
lesson. The "Chosen Race" would be Justifiably proud to
have been singled out by God...but when that pride lead to
imtioi'iuilstlc arrogance, God humbled her, as a loving father
chnstiM's a beloved child! God uses.., -r
fui aul was soon to learn that to be chosen of God Involves
responsibility, as well as privilege. She failed utterly to see
that thla Involved a response of gratitude, and of dedication.
In-Amos she received a warning of the consequences of,
conceit and arrogance. Their very special relationship to God
1 did not give them Immunity to disasters! God does not "play
fnvorltes".,.Hs Is an Impartial Judge. Hs crested and loves
ALL 111! children equally, He agonises over them, and He
tTjok'es with them! God judges.,,
Throuph the sscrlflcal death of Christ on the cross at
rvivary the world was given It's greatest and most loving
gift Christ died for ALL men's sins, that they might repent, "
tout- repcntlng-be born sgaln Into a sinless lifel God saves...
- one must, therefore, pay special attention to the word
"repe nt". We must repent of our selflshness-a selfishness
which, shuts but the good of others; ws must repent of our ,
arrogancethat which tells us that we are better than '
Dtlws.. that ws are "ipeclalV
We ALL exist under God. We exist BECAUSE of God. We
nil are USED by Godl v,r y -
Today, with modes of travel vastly superior to what It was
r-vetroim hundred yean ago, the world has become smaller.
Mnn'& inventions nave speeded up the tempo of Ufa, and
ttiovpd onr horizons outward. Would that man was ready to so
iHuHtnl the hwisone of the loull trot then, and only then, will
Ml waiting be united In the Christian brotherhood so greatly
dit-cl))y uod. Until this eomes te pass we will be (as were
the f!,raeliles) subject to correction and punishment,
We (noRt assuredly need to reflect Ciat the ills that beset
tii iiy ami time are possibly the signpost of God, iisalfyiiil'
