Lesson Vl.—Fourth Quarter, For
Nov. 9, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Rom. xiv, 7-21.
Memory Verses 7, B—Golden Text,
Rom. xiv, 2t—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
In our recent lessons in Exodus and
Numbers we have had a grand illus
tration of forgetting self and living for
Hhers in the story of Moses, who so
patiently bore with and interceded for
that complaining, rebellious people for
forty years, and yet they so vexed him
that the time came when even he fail
ed. All mere ineirhave failed at some
time, in some way. There has only
been one who always and in all tilings
pleased tire J-'ather and never sought
to Himself !{Jpl»n vlii. '25): Kom.
xv. 3; >latt.;iif. if; xrii. 5K
He who gave the ten commandment?
to Israel out of the, midst of the filv
and afterward wrote them twice on
the tables of stone, providing an ark
in which to keep the unbroken tables,
came Himself as a man and lived on
earth over thirty-three years. fuUillinp
perfectly His perfect law in .every de
tail, lb thought, word and deel. for He
was the true tabernacle, and ark. and
mercy seat, and bet-omes the end of the
law for righteousness to every one that:
belle veth.
Apart from Him there is none right
eous. no. not one. but all are under the
curse and wrath of God (Horn. iii.
10. 11; Gal. Hi. 10; John IU, 3si. God
did not ask Israel to do anything for
Him until He had redeemed them from
the bondage of Egypt, and he does not
ask the unsaved now to do anything
for Him. because they cannot please
God (Rom. vill. 7. 81.
In the first eight chapters of this
epistle the way of salvation for sin
uers is very plainly set forth. Then
follows the special Israel portion {chap
ters 9 to 111. and then from chapter lli
we have the life that should bo lived
by the redeemed, the life of love which
worketh no ill to his neighbor, a life
not conformed to this evil age. but
transfigured by the renewing of our
minds, proving the good and accept
able and perfect will of God (Rom. xii.
1, 2; xiii, 10). a life making manifest
the Lord Jesus Christ and making no
provision for the flesh to fulfill its
lusts (Rom. xiii, 14). It must ever be.
as His redeemed. "Not I. but Christ."
(Lesson verses 7-9; Gal. ii. 20: I Cor.
xv. 10; II Cor. iv. 10. 11; v. 15).
A great difficulty with believers gen
erally Is the judging of others: the de
sire and attempt to put others right
while we are not right ourselves: the
fancied beam in another's eye with
only a mote in our own.
It would l>e well for us if we would
determine not to judge one another any
more (verse 13). but to search and try
ourselves until we get more right with
God: more self emptied and spirit till
ed : more occupied with Him with
whom we have to }o. to whom alone
we must give account and at whose
judgment seat we must stand as Ilis
redeemed ones to give account of our
selves as His stewards (verses 10-12; I
Pet- iv. 10; I Cor. iv, 1).
This brings up the whole question of
salvation and service. We are justi
fied freely by His grace, through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Rut
we are saved to serve the living and
true God. while we wait f»r Ilis Son
from heaveu. and for the kingdom of
God. which is not meat aud drink, but
righteousness and peace and joy in the
Holy Ghost, manifesting in our lives
day by day something of that right
eousness and peace aud joy (verses 17.
18; Rom. iii. 24; I Thess i. 9-10).
There is no condemnation to them
that are in Christ Jesus, and we shall
not come Into judgment for our sins,
because the.v are blotted oat and shall
not be remembered (Rom. vlli, 1; John
Iv, 24; Isa. xlliL 25); but the judg
ment seat of Christ, mentioned only in
verse 10 and II Cor. v. 10. is for be
lievers. saved people, to give account
of their service, their stewardship and
to receive their appointments in His
kingdom, that they may come with
Him to judge the nations and to reign
with Him while He shall subdue all
things unto Himself (I Cor. vi, 2; xv.
23-28). We must distinguish between
the three judgments yet future: that
for believers only when w® meet our
Lord in the air; then the Judgment of
the nations with reference to their
treatment of Israel, when He shall
come in His glory, bringing His saints
with Him, at which time Israel shall
be saved as a nation, and the devil
shall be bound for a thousand years
(Matt xxv, 31; Rev. xx). both of these
judgments at the beginning of the
thousand years; then at the end of the
thousand years, the great white throne
for the rest of the dead who took no
part in the first resurrection (Rev. xx>.
Not- seeing the difference between
these three judgments, we are con
stantly hearing and reading of the
great white throne before which all
must appear, which is most unscrip
tural and misleading and confusing.
The Judgment of our lesson (verse 10)
is the Srst of these, for judgment be
gins at the house of God (I ret. iv,
17>. the redeemed will be
there. siiere is much light upon this
judgjnen&vin. I Cor. Hi. IH-15. and the
thoftgh't eff the possibility of a wasted
life. works to be burned, even
though we ourselves be saved, should
lead us to try everything by the ques
tion. Will It please the Lord?
Forevermore beside us on our way
The unseen Christ doth move.
That we may lean upon His arm and say,
"Dost thou, dear T-ord. approve?"
