International Sunday School Lesson
for March 26, 1939
Golden Text :“Christ also suf
fered for sins once, the right
eous for the unrighteous, that he
might bring us to God.” —I Peter
3:18.
Lesson Text: I Peter 1.17-23;
2:20-25
With this lesson, we bring to a
close our quarter’s study of the life
and teachings of Peter. Taken from
the first Epistle of Peter, this lesson
gives Peter’s interpretation for the
benefit of the early believers of the
suffering and death of his beloved
Lord.
First proclaiming salvation by the
suffering Christ, he emphasizes the
fact that God is our Father, Christ
is our Saviour and all Christians are
brothers —having the same Heavenly
Father.
God, in His wise providence, not,
desiring that any should perish, but.
that all should come to repentance,
and realizing the tendency of man,
to sin, provided away of escape |
from the penalty of his sins. “For
God, so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whoso
ever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.”
(John 3:16). The only way of es
cape provided by a loving Father,
therefore, is belief on and accept
ance of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
“who his ownself bore our sins in his
own body on the tree, that we, being
dead to sins, should live unto right
eousness.” (I Peter 2:24).
We cannot explain or ’“interpret,”
the atonement. All we can say is
that Christ was able to make atone
ment for our sins because he him
self was sinless. Peter says he was
“without blemish and without spot”
and that “he did no sin, neither was
guile found in him.” A sinful person
could never redeem the lost world.
Maltie D. Babcock said, “I do not
understand the Atonement; and it is t
not necessary that I should. But 11
believe and accept, and that makes it j
operative for me. The man who has
the most perfect and satisfactory I
theory of the Atonement —fair to 1
God and just to mentis not saved
by his theory, but by his faith in
God’s love, and the yielding of his
will to it. All the laws of God’s
universe need obedience, not under
standing, to unlock their power for
us. Be obedient to the law, and you
get its results.”

was it necessary for Christ to die?”
one writer answers by saying that
it was necessary for him to die in
order that the penalty of sin might
be paid, because God, through the
prophet Ezekial had declared, “The
soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
(Ezek. 18:20). Man is t>y nature
sinful and if he is to escape the pen
alty of his sin, he must have a sub
stitute—t hat substitute is Jesus
Christ.
The death of Jesus also serves
another purpose—it it the supreme
demonstration of God’s love for man.
He loved us so much that He was
willing to give His best in order that
we might not suffer the penalty of
our sins. Man, however, on his part,
is not forced to accept this wonderful
plan of redemption. God made him a
creature of choice and leaves it to
him to decide whether or not he will
avail himself of this wonderful priv
ilege. Man may, through faith in
Jesus Christ, appropriate unto him
self the blessings and privileges of
God's redemptive plan. This faith
involves the surrender of one’s life
; to Christ, believing that he is “able
' to keep that which I have committed
| unto him against that day.”
j The redeemed child of God will not
continue living in sin, but will, be
cause of the new motive implanted
in his life, “pass the time of his so
journing here in fear” doing those
things which he believes are pleas
ing to God. When Christ comes into
our hearts, we are spiritually renew
ed, the bondage of sin is broken and
a new desire in life is created. As
Peter points out, there are three
proofs of such redemption—fear (re
verence) for God; love for the
brethren; and patience in suffering.
Those who truly love Christ are
known by their good lives. What

BUSINESS MEN: j
Pay by CHECK ! JPKQ-LI
You can facilitate countless business trans- K|A B{JR
actions when you pay by check. As for the
“safety” element, that is quite apparent,
for you need not carry sums of money on
your person. Ask an officer for all details.
4 HOUSEWIVES:
Pay by CHECK!
Keep an accurate record of all personal
and home expenditures. With the con
venience of a check book, you need not
keep money about the house. Enjoy the
prestige that goes with a payment made by ,1
a CHECK.
'■ M i
Besides the safety of a bank account there is the con-
I venience to consider. If you deposit all money received
and pay everything by check, there is never any ques
tion or confusion about your account.
