Sunday School Lesson for April 80.
Scripture. Isaiah Glib.
subject: "lsalah's summons and re-
ponse."
Golden text: Here am l, send
me-"
rhe first thing that we have from
the wonderful man that he was is
what theMethodists would call in the
past, was his experience and HIS,
like many the writer has heard, was
too sacred for the average person to
grasp. Read it prayertully.
Il saw the LORD sitting upon the
throne, high and lifted up, and His
train titled the temple ETC." Isaiah
is the John OF the old Testament. He
went into the bosom OF the Father
and brings the son to US. Notice
chapter nine and verse six: unto
us a son is given, and the govern
ment snail be upon his shoulders, and
his name shall be called wonderful,
counsellor, the mighty God, the ever
lasting Father, the Prince of peace"
And we make no mistake to read
Luke l, 80 to 80, here Thou shalt
bring forth a son, and call his name
Jesus, He shall be great and shall
be called the son OF His Father, His
Father David, and He shall reign
over the house of Jacob and of his
kingdom there shall be no end"
One has said: Isaiah believed
something" Yes and l beg to say
he knew something and, every man
with an experience like his will know
the word know is in Johns writ
ing 81 times associated with the
knowledge of God and his salvation,
so we get it in type in Isaiah, see
chapter % and verses % and %,
The key of the house OF David will
| lay upon his shoulder, so he shall
open and none shall shut and he shall
shut and none shall open. l will
hasten him as a nail in a sure place
and he shall be for a glorious throne
70 his fathers house."
He saw that his people were going
headlong to the bad. Every one
who viii surrender to our God as he
did will see that the great part of
the processing church of today, to
say nothing CT the world is not in
fellowship with the Lord they profess
10 serve.
The Holy Spirit told him that Je.
sus was coming TO redeem this cid
Gin cured world, then later he is to
come back and be it's king.
But there are some Of the teachers
who are not converted at all and they
do not believe that, and so they DO
not like Isaiah. He understood that
then we shall have peace and SO
John, Rev. 2022: Even so come
Lord Jesus" And how gladly does
every trusting saint pray. In Mat
thew 27-42 they Knocked him and said
Let him come down and we will be.
lieve him." But Jesus said, John TT
II, Believe and then you should see.
When this thing is all over with and
his, own are with him, it will be seen
that all who have had a real part in
this thing are people who have had
a vision of the Christ here in this life,
but we must have vision of oursel-
yes before we can see him. Say,
but does not the big l go then? l
began to decrease and he began to
increase.
One lady introduced to another who
said: oh! you are the lady of the
great faith" who replied, ooh! no,
no." continuing, Il am the lady with
a little faith in a great Saviour"
The rescue mission work of today
came through from God to Jerry Nc
Auiay. The Bible schools through
MI Moody. The Salvation Army
through Mr.. Booth. l held a meet
ing at sunrise in last December and
two of the people who were convert
ed in that meeting had blessed Wis
ion of the Lord Christ. l do not
need to tell you that they are spoiled
for the rot of a Goddess world and
did it stir things? Did not others get
hungry for more? Life is a battle
against sin self and Satan, and until
the believer is fully surrendered his
fight is inside, afterward it is outside.
To see a fellow begin to laugh and
to laugh so heartily when there is
not thing to be seen or he may be-
gin to Cry, or he may begin to cry
out and say, but how he cap cry, or
as is sometimes not, not word but
how the face does shine. What is
the next thing? Well, he will begin
to right wrongs of maybe years ago.
He will get acquainted with the work
of God and if he has any of the So
called higher criticism in him it is
gone and it will all be thus saith the
Lord after that.
Just so surely as God sent his son
to suffer shame and death for our re-
demption from the guilt of sin so sure
will he send him again to deliver us
from the presence of of sin, and Isa-
iah saw this. Where did he get it?
He got it from God. People do not
get such things from unconverted
teachers in school.
