Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS. Acting Director t
the Sunday School Course in the Moodf
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1 1 , Western Newspaper UbIob.j
LESSON FOR DECEMBER 24
Our Lord's earth life began at Beth-
lehem. but he was from all eternity
(John 8:56-58; John 1 :l-2).
As a man Is not at peaee with God
he cannot be at peace with himself or
hlK fellows; but a« Jesus restores
peace between man and God, fee also
restores peace to the heart of the In-
dividual (Phil. 4:7).
.Sunday school officers and teachers
should realize the difference between
•Ik* ix*ace with God (Rom. 5:1) and
h** peace of God (Phil. 4:7).
Let us see to it that in the fullest
•use otir scholars may have the Prinze
>( Peace in their lives.

UNTO US A SON 18 GIVEN.
L.E8SON TEXT—Isaiah 9:1-1.
GOLDEN TEXT—For unto us a child;
Is born, unto us a son Is given; and the
((overnment shall be upon his shoulders;
and hlM name shall be called Wonderful.
Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlast-
ing Kather, the Prince of I'eace.—Isa.
The Christmas lesson naturally and(
logically follows the three lessons wej
have just had from the book of the
Revelation where Jesus in his glory
had been portrayed, und the ultimate
success of his work Is foreseen In the
new heaven und the new earth. Isaiah
saw the vision of his first coming. John
saw the vision of his second coming,
when what he began the iirst tlme|
shall ultimately be accomplished. The j
prophecy here spoken was uttered dur- j
lug the reign of Ahaz, B. 0. 738 to ,
72:1. The king of Assyria was attack-
ing Syria. The tribes of northern Is-
rael were carried away as captives.
Judah was In danger of invasion. (See
II Kings 15:29.) Isaiuh was preach-
ing in his home city, Jerusalem. His
vision of the Messiah Suvlor was not
more than 800 years before John saw
the vision of the glorified Jesus.
I. Darkness Versus Light (vv. 1-5).
We need to go back Into the eighth
chapter to get the full historical situa-
tion of this part of the lesson. Ahaz,
trembling In Jerusalem, had with him
the Prophet Isaiah, the wisest and
greatest man In his kingdom, yet Ahaz
listened not to his words of warning
and rebuke, lie doggedly pursued his
own course and sought help In every
other quarter than the right one. This
explains Isaiah's words, "The people
that walked in darkness." Primarily
he may have referred to those of the
lands of Zebulon and Naphtall, the
Galilee of the nations (John 1:40;
7:52) and the light which shone in
them, which was the light of the world,
Jesus of Nazareth (John 8:12). But
there is a larger application in this
verse to the whole world which lay
in darkness until Jesus came, and the
whole world has seen or shall see the
great light (Luke 1:78-79). With the
coming of light comes the increase of
Joy (v. 3 It. V.). In Israel there is to
be, through Christ, a wonderful In-
crease (Isa. 49:20-22; Zech. 10:8). In
Christ there Is to be great joy, the Joy
of harvest and of victory. The re-
ligion of Jesus Christ is pre-eminently
the religion of Joy (Acts 8:8; Phil.
4:4; I Peter 1:8) but the Child that
was to be born was to be a Deliverer
too, for the "yoke of burden" was a tax
of $1,800,000 that had recently been
levied by the king of Assyria. It was
n night of thick darkness for Israel.
Then, even as now, we have the moral
darkness. (Read Rom. 1:20-32.) But
the prophet saw the Joy of deliverance.
Jerusalem had been left in peace,
Heseklah succeeded his father, Ahaz,
and entered upon a religious revival in
the kingdom. The people who had
walked In darkness had seen a new
light. The prophet saw the dawning
rays through the midst of this dark-
ness of Ignorance being removed. He
also saw the coming of the Light of
Men 700 years later, and the multi-
plication of the nations, the increase
of their joy.
II. Unto Us a Son Is Bom (w. 6-7).
The greatest joy for Israel In Isaiah's
time was in this vision of the Messiah,
the promised Savior. Isaiah Is look-
ing ahead seven centuries. We are
looking back nineteen. He was to be
king over his people. Name and title
Is here given. (1) "Wonderful" be-
cause of his nature, being both hu-
man and divine. The word made flesh
and dwelt among us. (2) "Counselor,**
one who has the wisdom to guide hlih-
self and others. No one guided by him
has ever failed of true success. (8)
"The Mighty God." He was truly God
so th^t we can trust him to the utter-
most. He can also save to the utter-
most. (4) "Everlasting Father." ex-
pressing his divine loving kindness and
self-ldentiflcatlon with the Father. (5)
He Is also "Prince of Peace," the one
w ho rules so that peace and prosper-
ity abide In his kingdom. He brings
P ace between man and God, and be-
twfen ■'an and man. He is the peace
o the soul as well as bringing
peace to the soul. The completeness
of this picture which Isaiah saw Is
the one which SL John saw. of which
we have been recently studying. These
two verses are marvelous noes, not
only because of the dear prediction of
Jesus of Naaareth. made more than
seven centuries before his first advent,
but marvelous also for the fullness
snd rlchneas of the revelation they con-
tain concerning the person, character
snU work Christ.
