NING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. (. SATURDAY J ANUARY Sunday School Lesson By Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. JESUS AND NICODEMUS, (John 1i1.1-21.) Golden text: God so loved the world that he gave His only be- gotten Son, that whosoever be- lieveth on Him should not perish have eternal life—John Returning from Galllee, where He had revealed His power by performing His first miracle at the wedding in Cana, Jesus demonstrated His author- ity by cleansing the temple of the money-changers and _the dealers in sacrificial cattle, who had obtained the concessions from the priests by paying them an_exorbitant fee that allowed them to desecrate the place of worship by turning it into one of trade. He had performed many signs that _caused many to accept Him as their Teacher, but the Master did not place any con- fidence in their profession. Among the number attracted to His ministry was @ distinguished scholar and religious leader, Nicodemus, who was & member of the Sanhedrin. He was a recognized leader of the Phari- sees, the most popular and patriotic sect. Although, as their name signified, they were strict observers of the law and ritualistic requirements of their worship, they were men of high ideals and had done much constructive work for their nation and faith. They had & tendency to debate over “many points of insignificant detail,” which resulted pears to have apparently had no sym- pathy with the details of the service Nicodemus recognized in the “miracles” of Jesus signs that He was a Teacher sent from God. This caused him to seek an interview with this young Gal- ilean, who, without being trained in any of their schools, had entered the public arena a&s a rabbi, or teacher. While he did not risk his position, prestige or power by visiting the Lord during the daytime, Nicodemus followed the cour- age of his convictions and one night made & personal investigation of Christ's ministry. A Night Call The Lord had demonstrated conclu- divine authority, but the eminent Jew- ish leader was puzzled about some po- sitions taken by the Master. There was only one who could explain the Master’s ministry, message and motives satisfactorily, so Nicodemus decided to lay aside all the formalities of his posi- tion and make & night call upon the Lord Jesus and ask him for further light. He came to take up with the Master the most_delicate questions con- cerning His teachings. He did not hes- a member of the Sanhedrin he was compromising his position and that of the distinguished court by visiting the unordained Teacher from Galilee. ‘We have only a hint of the conver- sation that took place that night, when Jesus surprised Nicodemus by insisting that although he was “clean, just, pious, reasonable, sincere and zealous in meet- ing all the requirements of his faith.’ Nicodemus “must be born again.” This demand of a member of the Sanhedrin, clean life was known, reveals that the Master made the same demand of the eminent theologian that He did of the vicious sinner and humble toiler. He was not a respecter of persons. He did not condemn Nicodemus, as a sinner, because he had looked upon the out- ward manifestations of lite; the Mas- ter went to the root of Nicodemus' dif- ficulty when He insisted that the worthy seeker of light must possess & change of heart before he could under- stand the spiritual teachings of Jesus. In requiring of all that they be born again we see, as Drummond has point- ed out, that “which distinguishes Christianity from all other religions.” Insisting upon the personal experiences of “life from above,” the entrance of this life into our own, so that we find our whole outlook upon life is changed, who are unwilling to meet the condi- in their opposing the Master, who ap- | sively to Nicodemus that He possessed | itate because some would claim that as | whose repuation for living a good and | is a stumbling block to many today | tions required to secure regeneration. Nicodemus raised the question, “How can these things come to pass?” when the Lord insisted upon the distinction being recognized between the natural and the spiritual life. “It was Jesus' turn to be astonished. The new birth was not a new thing in the world, nor even a new name for the thing. Had not & psalmist prayed, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God!'”? And another, ‘Quicken me according to Thy word'? The very heathen called men whose distinction and dignity reduced ordinary men to the peasantry ‘the twice born.’ Nicodemus was familiar with the work of- John the Baptist, where the experience had frequently taken place.” “We are speaking of what we know and bearing witness to what we have seen.” Jesus insisted that except a man be morally trans- formed, by repentance suitably ac- knowledged, and by the work of God's spirit, he could have no part in the kingdom of God. Natural descent, such as Nicodemus and Jesus could both claim from Abraham, resulted in the production of a natural man, while the spiritual man came through the | power of the spirit. The blowing of | the wind furnished the Master with an apt illustration of the fact that we enjoy many things which we cannot | explain. Our failure to understand them does not change the facts. God’s Great Gift. This radical change in the life of men and women who have sinned was made possible by the great gift of God, who loves the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son that whoso- | ever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. In this com- | pact, concise and comprehensive state- ment we have the foundation of our faith and the assurance not only of God's interest in us, but also of our future life. God's gift of His only be- | gotten Son is the center of our religion. | The gift of His love had provided & I salvation for every lost soul, who will believe in Him, and the assurance of everlasting life. It reveals to us that the mission of the Master was not to | destroy but to seek and save that which | was lost through our attitude toward | God and personal sin. | "'In speaking of the eternal life, John evidently desired us to understand that it was to be & life “lived from the same source as Christ’s life, attained by the moral assimilation of the mind of Christ, having the same quality and in- tention as His life, and having the same kind of an outcome as His had,” if we e in accordance with the leadership f the Holy Spirit daily in all the affairs of life. In this dark hour men are puzzled by the outlook. The suffer- ing, sorrow and sadness of the moment are due to our failure as individuals and nations to do God’s will. We need to remember the words of Aquinas in this crucial hour, when he said “Our in- terest in our destiny is an interest in a possible blessedness, though not simply in a far-off divine event. For the destiny of the human will is to co- operate in some degree of present awareness with the central power of the world, and so far perceive in present | experience the quality of union with bt ‘When Nicodemus returned home he carried with him the light he sought. Twice again he appears in the New Testament and in such a manner that we should be convinced that he be- came a follower of Christ, for as a member of the Sanhedrin he raised his voice upon behalf of the Master. He courageously joined Joseph of Ari- mathaea in taking the Lord’s body from the cross and giving to the form of the One he learned to love that night a decent burial. We ought to rejoice that he made that night call upon the Master, because we are indebted to that visit for our golden text. Its “whosoever” Includes all who will be- lieve on Christ as their Lord and Savior. If we believe, we know that God has promised everlasting life. Let us live as twice-born men and women should live, so that the whole world may come to know Jesus as their per- ! sonal Savior. ST. MATTHEW’S LUTHERAN WILL INSTALL OFFICERS E. H.
