LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for December 17 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM LESSON TEXT Matthew 13:3-8, 31-33, 44-46. GOLDEN TEXT Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live. Isaiah 55:3. Teaching by parable, a method so often used by our Lord Jesus Christ, has many advantages. A parable (which is a story relat ing events in common life to teach or Illustrate spiritual truth) is use ful in stimulating interest and at tention, in making the truth clear, in fixing It in the hearer's mem ory, and in attracting for further instruction those who are interest ed even as it eliminates those who make no response. Jesns was the master of this art of teaching. Oth ers have learned from Him. The interpretation of the parables of Jesus has brought forth much difference of opinion. The impor tant point to bear in mind is that the interpretation must be one con sistent with other scripture, as well as with our Lord's own revelation of its meaning when given. ' We have His own interpretation of the parable of the Sower (Matt. 13:18 23), but He did not interpret the other parables of our lesson, leav ing it for us to carefully seek their meaning and gladly receive their instruction. I. Take Heed How You Hear (vv. 3-8). This parable is rightly called the parable of the Sower for our Lord so named it (v. 18), but as we read It we see that the lesson it teaches relates primarily to the four kinds of hearers of the Word of God. There are some who hear and their hearts and minds have so long been the common road over which every worldly influence has passed, that it has become so hard the Word of God finds no lodgment, but is quickly carried away by the birds, which are the "vultures of worldli ness" and wickedness (see v. 19). Reader, if your heart Is like that, ask God to break it up. Let us all shun those hardening influences which destroy our susceptibility to God's Word. Others there are who hear and the seed takes root, but the soil is so shallow that it has only a quick growth which soon withers. These are those whose life is largely emo tional,, thrilling to a new experi ence, but not ready to face trials and the responsibilities of life (v. 21). As long as the Christian life looks attractive such shallow folk want to be counted in, but when they learn that it involves sacri fice, they are gone. Shallow souls, pray God to give your life depth and real meaning and worth. Others hear and receive the truth, but soon permit the cares of life to choke and destroy it (see v. 22). This pictures modern life so aptly that one could dwell- with profit on the vital lessons here taught. Thank God, some of the seed brings forth a rich harvest! There is encouragement for every teacher and preacher of the Word of God. Notice (vv. 8, 23) that if we should bring forth a hundred-fold It would be tragic to bear only thirty or sixty. II. Beware of the Power of Evil (vv. 31-33). . Just as the mustard plant was never intended to grow into a tree in which the birds would dwell, so Christianity was never intended to be a nominally Christianized world empire in which ungodly men, the dark birds of the evil one (v. 19), should find comfortable lodgment. Unfortunately, that is what much of professing Christianity has be come. Let those of us who love the Lord beware that we are not mis led by it. The parable of the leaven teaches the same lesson. Always in the New Testament leaven stands for evil (see such passages as Matt. 22:16-21, 23, 29 ; 23:14, 16; I Cor. 5:6-8; Gal. 5:9). It is any influ ence that weakens testimony, en courages hypocrisy, formalism or worldliness. Who can deny that this leaven has spread throughout the Church? The Evil One is pow erful. Let us beware of his power and of his leaven. III. Value Redemption Aright (vv. 44-46). In interpreting this parable we ob serve that obviously the sinner had nothing to sell with which to buy salvation, even if it were to be bought, which we know it is not (Eph. 2:8). We do give up some things to follow Christ, but are they not the worthless and degrading things? On the other hand, He gave us His all, even to the shame ful death of the cross. This He did for His own people, Israel, and what we are even more interested in, for the Church. Let us value our redemption highly. We have been purchased with the unspeakable price, the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us then heed the admonition of the apostle Paul, "Ye are bought witb a price, therefore glorify God In your body and in your spirit, which re God'i" (I COr. 6:20). VV. H.
