Sunday ? School I Lesson THE STEWARDSHIP OF LIFE AND WORK ' Since ill that we are and posses constitute an entrust jnent from the Lord, today's lesson challenges us to be ?faithful stewards of all that He has committed to us. - ; Nehemiah 2:11-18 > In his youth Nehemiah was a captive is a strange Jand, and was appointed by Artaxeres, king of Persia, $o the responsible position of cupbearer, which task re quired tha services of one whose character and loyalty were unquestioned. Later, when some Jewish brethren, j Including his own brother, Hanani, were visiting him, fie inquired concerning his people and their beloved jetty. With sad voices they reported that the Jews in Jerusalem were in miserable and deplorable condition, J fchat the walls of the city were broken down, its gates burned, its streets filled with rubble, and its people liv ing in poverty. Nehemiah sat down, wept, fasted, and prayed. < Normally Nehemiah was happy and buoyant, so when he appeared before the king with a sad countenance the latter inquired as to the cause of his unhappiness. He Explained that he was grieved because Jerusalem was Ab ruins and his people were suffering. He requested permission to return to his beloved city for the purpose of leading in the work of reconstruction. The king granted his request, gave him assistance, and sent him Tmliis mission of doing all that he could for his people. Man of God that ne was, Nehemiah sought divine unsel upon his arrival there. After spending three Pys in meditation, he arose in the night and, with a few ends, made a personal investigation of the existing conditions. Then, he called a meeting of the Jewish leaders and disclosed to them how God had led him to tfrem, and what he intended to do. So ardent was his elo quence and so cogent was his argument that the assembly shouted, "Let us rise up and build." Nehemiah's faithfulness in the stewardship of his life rfnd work inspiried others to join him in discharging their duties also for the glory of God. Together they en joyed the blessing of God upon their efforts. John 15:1-5 ' tm -i x a- t i ? ?? ? ? ? ? ' ? ttiicu auuui 10 leave mem, unrisi miormea tne disciples that they could maintain an intimate fellowship with Him, which relationship was like unto the figure of the vine and its branches. Fellowship with Christ is the secret of a radiant personality, the un troubled heart, the victorious life, and effective service. Bt results in fruit-bearing for Christ. Because He is the life-giving vine, the belivers, who are the branches, $ould bear much good fruit for the Lord. This calls for griming, purging, and cleansing. While this process is Qot always pleasant, it is profitable. Often when the tieliver is pleased with what he has done, the Lord purges or cleanses the branch in order that it may pro duce more and better fruit. ? i For abundant furitfulness is the Christian life, there Aust be a regular study of the Word of God for correc-" m and instruction, a frequent calling upon God in yayer, and a consistent dipendence upon Him for the Itecessary strength for various living, and for the doing <jf all things that are harmonious with God's will. When (lie Christian's surrender and Christ's strength unite flroper fruit always results. In the bearing of fruit for Christ the believer fulfills his purpose in life and the iLord is glorified. The more fruit of the right sort that the Christian bears, the more that the Lord' is honored 4nd glorified. +++ ??
