LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 26
JE8U8 THE GREAT MISSIONARY
LESSON TEXT-Luke «:l- .
GOLDEN TEXT—The Son of Man to
come to seek and to save that which la
lost-Luke 19:10.
REFERENCE MATERIAL—Matt. 4:23;
):K-A
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesue Brings a Ut-
ile Olrl Back to Life.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus the Great Mis-
sionary.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
•—Jesus Meeting All Human Needs.
YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
-Jesus the Ideal Missionary.
I. The Great Missionary's Field (yt.
1-8).
He went throughout every city and
Tillage. The true'missionary goes to
everybody, for all need the gospel. .
1. H1b Message (▼. 1). He preached
the glad tidings of the kingdom of
God. The gospel message Is truly good
tidings, for the great King Is offering
to rebellious sinners salvation through
Jesus Christ.
2. His Helpers (v. 1.) The twelva
apostles were with Him. The mission-
ary should utilize tfie help of others.
8. Supported by Saved Women (tt,
2, 8). Out of grateful hearts certain
women who had experienced the sav-
ing power of the gospel ministered
unto Jesus of their substance.
II. The Great Missionary Teaching
(w. 4-21).
1. The Parable of the Sower (vy. 4-
21.). (1) the sower—Jesus (see Matt.
13:27). (2) The seed—the Word of
God (v. 11). (8) The kinds of ground
(vr. 5-8). (a) Wnyslde (v. 5). Thle
foot-trodden path pictures the hard-
hearted upon which no Impression can
be made. The preached word finds no
entrance, and Satan snatches It away -
as birds pick up the grain from the
hard-beaten path. In such cases faith
cannot spring up and result In salva-
tion (v. 12). (b) Stony ground (v. 6).
This Is not stones mixed with earth,
but a thin layer of earth on a ledge of
rock. The seed fulling upon such
earth springs up quickly, but the plant
soon dies when exposed to the sun.
This pictures the hearer who recelvea
with Joy the message of the gospel, but
when persecution and trials come be-
cause of following Christ he gives up
and deserts the cause (v. 15). (c)
Thorny gronnd (v. 7). This ground la
good, but It has thorns growing In It.
The seeds spring np, but the plant has
no room to deTelop. This lectures tha
Christians who bear no Christian fnjjt
because of being preoccupied with
"cares, riches and pleasures" of this
life (v. 14). (d) Good ground (v. 8).
The seed here sprang up and bore fruit
to the full measure. This pictures the
honest heart which receives the gospel
message and allows It to produce In
Its life a full harvest of grain (v. 15).
The application of this parable la
found In verses 16-18.
2. Kinship with Jesus Christ (vv. 10-
21). Jesus teaches here that there Is
a relationship to Him which Is closer
than the tie of blood.
III. The Great Missionary Doing
Wonders (w. 22-39).
1. Calming the Storm (vv. 22-25).
(1) Jesus asleep (v. 23). While tha
disciples were sailing the ship th#
Master fell asleep. (2) The fright-
ened disciples (w. 23, 24), As their
ships were filled with water the dis-
ciples awoke Jesns with their cry of
peril. (3) Jesus rebuked the wind and
water (v. 24). At His word there was
a great calm. (4) Jesus rebuked tha
disciples (v. 25). He did not rebuke
them for waking Him, but for their
lack of faith.
2. Casting Out Demons (yy. 20-30):.
Demon-possession wak In that day, and
Is t<Klay, an awful reality. (1) Jesus
met by the demoniac (vv. 2fl-2t>>. (2)
Jesus' question (v. 30). The purpose
of this question doubtless waS to .bring
the real man to consciousness—to en-
able him to distinguish between the
deuiun and himself. (3) The demoua'
request (vv. 31, 32). They asked per-
mission to enter into a herd of swine.
It seems that the demons have a dis-
like for disembodiment. The devil
cannot act without Divine permission.
(4) The request granted (vv. 32. S3).
Just why this was done we do not
know. Since Jesus did It we must be-
lieve that It was wise. (5) The effect
npon the people (yy. 34-37). (a) Tha
keepers of the swine went and mada
It known In the city and country, (b)
The people made Investigation. They
saw the man clothed and In his right
mind, and heard the testimony of
those who had seen what was don^
(c) Besought Jeans to depart from
them. (6) Request of the man whom "
He healed (ty. 38. 39). He desired to
ha with Jesus. This was natural and
right, but his raapooslblllty was to ga
home andlhow them what great thing*
Gad had dona far him.
