The Sunday School lesson Jan., 7, ;
1917. Subject: Jesus the Life and
Light of Men.
Text: St. John 1:1-14.
Golden Text: In Him was life;
and the life was the light of men.
(By M. J. McLean)
The Sunday School lesson for the
first six months of this year are tak
en from the Gospel of John. The les
son for this Sunday is the pro
logue of the book. It introduces to
us the great theme which the writer
desired-to set forth to his readers.
This theve is the character and i
person of Jesus Christ
St John's Gospel is a work
literary art There
from the beginning to end and every
one speaks in it There is only one
mode of thought represented in it
and everyone shares it There is only
one person holding the writer's un
broken attention, and every other is
made subservient to him. Tfe Jesus
who speaks in its pages is not only
the same Jesus who taught in the
synagogues and fields of Galilee, in
the temple court and the streets'of
Jerusalem, but he is also the exalt
ed Lord. The place he holds in the
faith of St John, he would have
him hold in faith of every one whq
reads the testimony of him.
In this prelude to his Gospel, he
names a Being whom he speaks of
as the Word: He explains the con
nection of this Being with God and
with created things. "In the begin
ning was Hie Word and the word
was with God, and the Word was
God. The same was the beginning
with God. All things were made by
> Him; and without Him was not any
thing made that hath been made.
In Him was life; and the life was the
light of men."
, He uses other terms to describe
the same Person: "The only begot
ten from the Father," Jesus Christ,"
The only begotten Son." With per
petually recurring pronouns he re
fers to this Person as the object of
his faith. This Person is the one im
measurable reality which fills and
holds his mind as the perfect Inter
preter of God.
It is noteworthy that he uses in
the first place, "The Word," a term i
familiar to both Jewish Greeks
thinkers of the writers time. The
"Word," of Logos idea of life was
developed by Philo Judaeus, an
Alexandrian Jew, by combining the
ideals and languages of a philoso
phical system with the scriptural
doctrine of the Divine Word. The
same term is used in the Stoic and
Platonic system of philosophy. St.
John borrows this term, the "Word,"
expressing the Logos doctrine of
life, without borrowing anything
from is, and borrows it without a
nuance to this apology, to invest
Jesus, the Person, with all the
greatness which belongs to this
philosophical conception. A reason
for the application of this term to
Christ is, if the world is a Christian
world, we cannot understand it un
til everything in the world is, the
World has been set into relation with
Christ To set everything in relation
to Christ under this profound sense
of his universal significance, is the
purpose of the opening verses of this
Gospel.
"lie light shineth in dark
ness; and the darkness, apprehended
H nou" In various ways, men had
striven to alleviate the difficulty of
mentally apprehending the invisible,
incomprehensible, eternal, God. Job
was not alone in this search, for
thousands had continually cried with
hint "Behold, I go forward but He
, _

and
who
to
turn
cast with any degree of certainty,
the ultimate purpose of the universe
He had created and was carrying on
ward. This much light could not be :
more plainly exhibited that to set
forth Himself in His absolute at
tributes in the fdrm of a man—a
personal, moral, intellectural, holy,
loving being, manifesting himself by
means of his inherent power. He
speaks and it is done, he commands,
; and it stands fast.
j "There came a man sent from
whose name was John. The
same came for witness, that he
m jght bear witness of the light, that
all might believe through him. He
was not the light, but came that he
might bear witness of the light.
There was the true light, even the
light which lighteth every man, com
into the world. He was in the
world, and the world was made by
Him and the world knew Him not ."
Here are we p| a j n i y told of the mis-
sion of John the Baptist, that he
was sent as a herald to prepare men
for the reception of the Christ, who
had sprung, not from Adam, or
Abraham, or John the Baptist, but
from the eternal being of God, and
; that He would show men the way of
Ljf e
He came unto His own, and His
own received Him not. But as many
as r e ce i V ed Him, to them He gave
i
i
the right to become the children of
God, even to them which believe on
His name: which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the word became flesh, and
dwelt among us (and we beheld His
glory, glory as the only begotten
from the Father), full of grace and
truth."
In these closing lessons of the
lesson, St. John tells of the general
rejection of Christ by His own peo
pie; the way men become true child
ren o£ God whkh by beinj? of
God into fellowship with His Son.
He then gives Une of the mose speci
fic statements of Hie Incarnation
doctrine found in the scriptures.
The word became flesh and dwelt
among us. If this is not God reveal
ing Himself, what is God? What
lofHer conception of God could any
one speak for? What worthy concep
tion of God is there not satisfied in
these eight words, and the Word be
came flesh and dwelt among us.
What do we need in God, or suppose
to be in God, or anticipate from
God, which we have nothin Christ?
"Nothing can vex the devil more
Thau the name of HijiV ièp ' we
adore.
ThentfoW doth it delight me best
To stand in the choir among Hie
rest,
With the great organ trumpeting,
Through its metallic trumpheting,
Et verbum caro factum est!
These words the devil cannot s
dure,
For he knoweth their meaning well!
Him they trouble and repel,
Us they comfort and allure;
And happy it were, if our delight
Were as great as his affright."
—From Longfellows' Martin Luther.
