Sunday School Lesson
By Rev. R. E. Handy
Subject: The Hope for the Messiah.
Scripture Text: Ezek. 34:23-28, Dan. 7:13, 14; Zech. 9:9, 10; 12:10; 13:1.
Golden Text:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isa. 9:6.
The Lesson
The scriptures of the Old Testament are full of references to the coming Messiah. In today's lesson, we have the prophesies of three of the prophets who told of Christ's coming. There was no need for the Israelites to miss the signs of his appearing. His family was named, the circumstances of His birth, the place in which He would be born, His suffering for atonement. His death and resurrection were all foretold.
Christian people, in the light of the happenings of today, are searching the scripture as never before.
Christ, when He went away, promised that He would come again and receive all those who believed in Him unto Himself . . . that where He was, we should be also. He said, "In My Father's house are many mansions." He gave signs as to when He should reappear.
The second coming of Christ, in the light of prophesy, is rapidly approaching. It behooves every child of God, to search his Bible to see whether these things be true, to "arise, trim their lamps and carry extra oil in their vessels."
