Lesson Vlll.—First Quarter, FoI
Feb. 23, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Gen. xiii, 1-12.
Memory Verse, B—Golden Text, Prov.
*» 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev.
D. M. Stearns.
Abram's going down to Egypt was
certainly a mistake ou bis part. Tor
there was DO altar to tbe Lord there
nor any new revelation from the Ijord.
and Abruw dishonored the Lord by
fear aßd deceit and brought upon him
self the rebuke of a man of tbe world,
a heathen king. By all our conduct
we are either honoriug or dishonoring
the Lord, magnifying Him or magnify
ing ourselves, and we would do well
to test everything by this tent He Is
able -care of His own people
and His own work under ail circum
stances, and all He asks of us Is a
whole heart for Him. such an abiding
In and separation nnto Him that He
shall not be hindered in working out
His good pleasure.
When at any time we wander away
from the Lord the only thing to do la
to return as quickly as possible, for He
is ever calling the wanderer to return,
as in Isa. Iv, 7; Jer. IU, 14, 22: Hos.
xiv. 1, 2. and the word of eucoursge
ineiit awaits both the unsaved and tbe
saved. "Him that cometh to Me 1 will
iii nowise east out" (John vl. 37). It
la go4»d to see Abram back at tbe place
of tbe altar between Betbel and Hal
and to bear bin) calling on tbe name or
tbe Lord (verses 3, 4) aud to kuow that
tbe Lord has abundantly pardoned him
according to His word.
It may seem strange to some to see
Abram very rich in cattle, tn silver
and in gold (verse 2) notwithstanding
bis wanderings from tbe Lord, but let
such consider tbelr own mercies and
say if tbey have not been dealt with lu
loving kindness beyond all their de
serts. Sometimes tbe Lord woald draw
us back to or closer to Himself by His
great mercies, and we bave all and al
ways reason to say, "It is of tbe Lord'*
mercies that we are sot consumed, be
cause His compassions fall not" (Lam.
ill, 22>.
Lot also was rich In flocks and herds,
aud bis berdmen and those of Abram
could not agree. So to prevent strife
Abram told Lot to take hia choice of
territory and that he would take that
which Lot did not desire. Thus mag
nanimous could this great man afford
to be because he was the friend of God
and the Lord was his portion. Being
a witness for God before the Canaan
ltes and Perixzitea who dwelt in the
land, he could not tolerate atrife, for
"the servant of the Lord must not
strive" (II Tim. ii, 24).
Meekness, lowliness and submission
are always becoming tn a child of God,
but never strife, not even to maintain
our so called rights. We are exhorted
to take wrong and suffer ourselves to
be defrauded ratber than strive before
uubelievers (I Cor. vi. ft 7).
Without regard to the character of
the people who lived ou the plain, who
are described as "wicked and sinners
before the Lord, exceedingly." Lot
chose the plain of Jordan, because he
saw that It would admirably suit his
numerous (locks and herds (verses
10-13). It is said that "be lifted up
bis eyes," but it was only to behold the
low and fruitful valley of the Jordan.
He did not behold the Lord nor con
slder His will ID the matter. It was a
case of self only.
It was good for Lot to be with
Abram, but not so good for A. bra in to
have Lot with him. Separation from
Lot was really to Abram's advan
tage and evidently pleasing to thr
Lord, for the Lord had another me*
sage for Abram as soon as Lot wa*
separated from him (14-17). There was
a renewed assurance that the Lord
would give him the whole land and th*
promise that his seed would be as the
dust of the earth (verse 16.)
In verse 18 see thin friend of God
dwelling with Him at Hebron, which
signifies fellowship, above the'
sinners of Sodom and in communion
with God with his altar unto the Lord.
This prepares us for the record in
chapter xlv of the capture and captiv
ity of Lot and his goods by the four
kings, while Abram, living above and
away from all the turmoil, is able to
go with his 318 trained servants and
rescue Lot and his people and all bin
goods. While mixed up with the world
we cannot expect to have victory over
It, and it is only as we dwell at He
!>ron in fellowship with God that we
can hope to rescue others from the god
of this world. First we see Lot pitch
ing his tent toward Sodom, and then
we see him dwelling in Sodom (xtli, 12;
xlv, 12). : Later we shall find him a
ruler In Sodom, sitting in the gate
setting on in the world.
In the end of chapter xlv we have a
wonderful record of a most remarkable
man. a king and a priest. t/pe of the
Lord Jesus Christ when He iball be a
priest upon His throne, a priest forever
after the order of Meleblzedek (Zech.
vl, 13; Ps. ex. 4). Here we have for
the first time the title "the Most High
God, possessor of heaven and earth,"
and been use Abram was blessed by
Him he was able to turn his back upon
*he tempting ofTer of the king of So
ilom concerning tlie goods. If the church
today knew the Most High God and
His blessing sbe would never be guilty
of seeking the goods of Sodom to help
iter carry on her work. There is noth
ing so crnnd ns to know Ood and find
our nil In Iltm.
