LESSON TEXT-Joshua 7:6-15. Read
Joshua chapters 7-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—"Be sure your sin will
find you out."—Num 52-23.
Before proceeding against Jericho,
God. through his servant Joshua, had
given strict injunctions as regards the
taking of anything from the city for
eelf-enrichmeut, ch. 6:17, 18. it was
necessary at the outset of this cam-
paign to safeguard Israel against any
such motives. The fruits of their vic-
tories must in no way seem to be the
rewards of, nor to be dependent upon,
the efforts of their own hands. Spir-
itual victories are, as we learned last
week, won by means and upon prin-
ciples utterly foolish and inadequate
in the view of human wisdom. Nor
is the Christian dependent upon the
principles of human thrift for his sus-
tenance or enrichment. That does not
mean the divorcement of the Chris-
tian from those principles.
The story of Achan is an illustra-
tion. While his sin was individualistic
yet it was national in its results (▼. 1.)
After the fall of Jericho, Joshua sent
a detachment of 2,000 or 3,000 men to
takfe possession of the small town of
Ai (literally, “ruins”). The task was
seemingly an unimportant and an easy
one, bat the result was that the expe-
dition was turned into a miserable
rout (▼▼. 1-6).
Aehan’s Sins Revested.
The stages of the sin of Achan are
wonderfully revealed in the confessiou
(t. 21) which was finally wrung from
—‘T saw ... I coveted . . .
I took . . . they are hid.”
I. Joshua’s error, vv. 6-9. It was
right and proper for Joshua to bring
his difficulty to God, but it was not
right for him to lay upon him the
blame for bis defeat. Moses before
him had made that same mistake (Ex.
5:22, 23), and it would seem that
Joshua should have profited thereby.
In this, however, he is supremely hu-
man. We of today with far greater
light are constantly making this same
mistake of accusing God, instead of
finding out and judging our sin.
There is, however, an underlying note
of the master passion of Joshua's
heart, that note which had so gov-
erned the heart of his predecessor,
Moses. It is expressed in the last note
of his complaint, "What wilt thou do
for thy great name?” v. 9. This com-
plaint and petition sounds very much
like those of the preceding generation
uttered in the wilderness. For us to
wish ourselves to be "content to dwell
beyond Jordon." when the testing
times of our Christian life come, when
the calls come for an advance, is to
doubt his wisdom. No wonder Joshua
was amazed v.hen he saw Israel turn
its back upon its enemieB (v. 8). We
must beware lest we. too. be dismayed
when we see the church of today give .
way before the world and the devil, j
II. The cause of defeat, vv. 10-12. |
Joshua's petition is answered by the
voice of Jehovah in terms of rebuke,
strong, yet tender, in verse two we
are told that Joshua sent men to view ,
Ai. Why? Because in the language of
verse one "the children of Israel com-
mitted a trespass in the accursed
thing." Joshua wanted the people to
know that the sin of Achan and its j
results was the sin of the whole na-
tion. God brings the essential one- i
ness of the nation before us in verse
eleven: for an illustration, see I. Cor. 1
G: 1-7 and 12:12-14. 16.
God's Instructions.
III. The victory of defeat, vv 13-15. 1
It is a testimony as to the spiritual
condition of this nation that the fraud
was so soon located. The early Chris-
tian church had a parallel incident in
the case of Ananias and Sapphira, Acts
5:1-11. In each case the evil was
quickly judged and reveals the close-
ness of God to his people, in the pro-
cess of years Israel passed from that
condition: has the church of today so
passed? God had given explicit in-
structions as to the spoil tch. 6:18 R.
V.). God commands Joshua not to
cry unto him, but to "sanctify the peo-
ple." The church of Christ, as well
as the individual, needs to judge its
sen and to set :iself apart uuto God.
1 it was a stern judgment and the
cuery arises what sort of bonfire
would the church have today were all
sinfully acquired property to suffer
similar destruction, it is noticeable,
however, that- there is no suggestion
of any confession on the part of Achan
until the narrowing circle ot judge-
ment had closed upon him. He con-
fessed only when there was no pos-
sible escape. This seems like a stern,
hard process, but yet God was deal-
ing in mercy with the whole people.
IV. The Golden Text. The words of
this text were uttered by Moses to the
two and a half tfibes who settled on
the east of Jordan, that in case they
, refused to come to the help of their
brethren in the conflict necessary to
the possession of Canaan, their sin
would discover them. This lesson war-
rants the application of this principle.
A sin against God results in injury to
your neighbor, it is a sin not to help
your neighbor and conversely to in-
dulge in any act which results in
the defeat, moral or otherwise, of
those with whom we associate, is
also a sin.
I am intending to sell out my business next
month and having some over 300 cases of canned
goods on hand, I am going to cut deep in the price
to move them quick. Come in and get some bar-
gains, it will pay you to lay in a six months supply.
Look at the prices I am offering.
