lose sight o f God’s leading before they ever find Christ as Saviour, just as the wise men lost sight of the star before they reached thd manger. Jerusalem was a religious city, and it could have been that the temple caused them to lose sight of the star. Did you know that some churches keep people from finding Christ as Saviour, because they do not teach about Christ’s shed ding His blood for us? We will,put this picture of a church over the star and hide it, reminding ,us o f . the way in which some churches keep people from really finding, Christ. As clouds often hide star’s, so this cloud with dollar marks hides the sil ver star. Jerusalem was a place of busi ness. Often the getting of wealth has caused some to lose sight of that which might lead them to Christ. ■- V This college cap hides the star..Some lose the star of God's guidance in col lege. They confuse the professor’s the ory- with scientific fact, and make the mistake of thinking that the Bible is untrustworthy. This picture of dancers hides,the star. There are many people who, because of pleasure, do not follow the leading God gives them, which would lead them to Christ. The wise men asked questions until they learned that Christ was to be born in Bethlehem. They were very happy when they again saw the star on the Bethlehem road. They followed it and found the Christ Child, who was to die on the cross for the sins of the world. If you do not now know Christ, do ,not let anything hide' that which might guide you to Him. would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think irot. 41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speak- est thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And the Lord said. W ho then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of m eat in due season! 43 Blessed is that servant* whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45 But and if that servant say in his heart, M y lord delayeth his com ing; and shall begin *to beat the . menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh hot for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 B ut he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much re quired; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
The Word of God is like a sharp two- edged sword. It will quickly cut -from ottr hearts the old life of sin which poisons and kills our souls. When we truly ask the Lord Jesus to save us, He takes away our sins immediately and g iv e / us His own life. His life in us gives joy here on earth and lasts for ever in heaven. The Lord Jesus Christ was born on earth ttyat He might shed His blood to save us; therefore “God hath highly ex alted him, and given him a name which is above every name.” The name of JESUS means “SAV IOUR.” “Neither is there salvation in any -other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” OBJECTS: A silver star, a picture of a church, a clbud-shaped piece of card board covered with dollar marks, an imitation graduation cap, and a picture of couples dancing. LESSON: Here is a silver star to re mind us of the star of Bethlehem, which guided the wise men to the manger. When the wise men came near Jerusa lem, they lost sight of the star.
