The land is to be delivered because Jesus is to assume the government, bréak the yoke of the oppressor anua set up his own kingdom. When he assumes the govâ€" ernment of individual life it must be surrendered without reserve _ and left trustfully and restfully to his control. "The ensign of government used to be worn on the shoulder in token of susâ€" taining the government." "Of the inâ€" crease of his government ...... there shall be no end" (v. 7). He first comes to the lasd of Zebulun and Naphtali (Matt. iv. 15, 16), but his knowledge is to spread throughout the earth (Hab. ii. 14). He ministered to the people of Judea, Samarian, Galilee, ‘Fyre â€" and Sidon, with whom he came in personal contact, but the time cometh when "every eye shall see him" (Rev. i. 7). Abbie C. Morrow. _ IV. Humility. "For unto us a child is born" (v. 6). It was the advent of the "child" that was to break the yoke. Jesus came as a little child, and he says: "Whosoever shall not receive the kingâ€" d90 Ahter thas_ a_ little cnild“s.hnll in’ no simplicity of a littl‘:‘gfifiz}‘:’"' 17). The to the selfâ€"centered and selfish. Jesus was the only perfect child. If we receive Christ into our hearts he will ampart to us the childâ€"like nature. He was humble, willing to lay aside all the regal splendor of his royalty (Phil, ii. 6, 7), and enter upon human life like any other manâ€"a helpless babe! No other charâ€" acteristic in the life of Christ was so marked. He was obedient to his parâ€" ents (Luke ii. 51); called the simple CGalilean fishermen as his disciples (Mark i., 16â€"20); was baptized in the Jordan (Matt. iii. 14, 15); touched the leper (Matt. viii. 3); was entertained in the lowly home of Martha and Mary (John xii. 2,3; had nowhere to lay his head (Luke ix. 58); ate with publicans and sinners (Mark ii, 16); ministered to his disciples (John xiii. 4â€"5); came into Jerusalem "lowly and riding upon an‘ ass" (Zech. ix. 9), and died as a transâ€" gressor (Isa. liii. 12), His whole walk‘ was one of trustful humility, and we who have Christ born again in onr‘ hearts will be "even as he" (I. John ii.‘ 6). II. Joy. "Thou hast multiplied the nation" (v. 3). God gives prosperity ad joy comes as we recognize His hand. Joy is heavenâ€"born, and its keynote is struck #1 the innermost depths of the heart when Jesus is received. Onee there, it will joy through tribulation (Romw. v. 3), temptations (James i. 2), persecution (Matt. v. 11, 12). III. Freedom. "Thou hast broken the yoke of his burden" (v. 4), This is a Hebraism for a burdensome yoke. It referred to the yoke of the Assyrian captivity. The yoke is typical of serâ€" vice and implies obedience to another and loss of personal freedom so dear to man. Paul speaks of two kinds of serviâ€" tudeâ€"that of "sin unto death" and of "obedience unto righteousness" (Rom. vi. 16). The yoke of the one is heavy, of the other light. One is of Satan, the other of Christ. Under one we "labor. and are heavy laden,;‘ under the other we find "rest" (Matt. xi. 28â€"30). "Satan is a hard taskâ€"master," has been the tesâ€" timony of many a man who has chafed under his yoke. "When I served the devil he gave me rags, hunger, ‘filth and misery. Now I am serving God I am clothed, housed, fed, clean and happy," is the oftâ€"told story~in the missions of our land. 1. Light. "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light" (v. 2). The life of Jesus was wholly one of light. At® His birth "the glory of the Lord" shone round about the shepherds as the angels proclaimed "a Saviour" (Luke ii. 9â€"11). DOG CAUSED DEATH. world of light, a few sprays from the ocean of blessings God has in store for man.â€"Peloubet. Throre of Davidâ€"To sit upon the throne of David means to reign over the true people of God; and in this sense Christ sat on David‘s throne. To order itâ€"To rule it. From henceforth even foreverâ€"‘Only such a kingdom can endure. Nothing is really settled till it is settled right. The powâ€" ers of evil seem very strong, but every one is doomed to fall before Christ. The forces of intemperance shall be destroyâ€" ed, organizen oppression shall be brokâ€" en, heathenism shall fall, infidelity be overthrown, slavery cease. The prince of darkness in darkest Engla:rd, darkest Africa and darkest America shall be torn from his throne, and the light shall scatter the darkness, and the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings shall change winter into spring, and night into day." He came to "Galilee" of the Gentiles (v. 1). Galilee was a wretched land with a mixed population, despised by the Jews; but that very country ibacame glorious with the presence of the incarâ€" nate (God; there all manner of diseases were healed. seas were stilled, multiâ€" tudes were fed; there the Lord found His disciples and met a large company of His followers after He had risen.
