i sunday school lesson l april 3 lesson i god in creation i genesis 1 15 631 golden text in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth gensls 11 analysis i the prelude of creation vs 1 2 ii the beginning of creation vs 5 iii the climax of creation vs 20- 31 introduction this chapter stands as the frontispiece to the great his torical section of the old testament which extends from genesis to 2 kings and which traces the story of israel from the earliest times to the exile it is not by accident that the chapter occupies this position it is designed to show that god who pre sides over the fortunes of men and the destiries of nations also controls the forces of nature since he made th3 material world its resources are at his disposal to fufil his purpose with men thus the aim of the chapter is religious rather than scientific it comes from a prescientific age and it is obviously unfair to treat it as an authority on questions raised by mod ern science the point of paramount importance is that god stands behind the whole movement of the material forces of the world and expresses himself in them i the prelude of creation vs 1 2 y 1 nothing could be more im pressive than the simple statement tat the universe which the hebrews called the heavens and the earth came into existence not by blind chance but by the deliberate purpose and the creative activity of god there was a time in the beginning when god was and the world wjs not be hind creation is a person says mc- fadyen that is the claim of reli gion and faith holds stubbornly to that conviction v 2 this verse is parenthesis describing the condition of the world prior to creation chaos and desola tion prevailed the arth was cover ed with a welter of raging waters and all was shrouded with darkness the sovereign power or god is all the more wonderful in that he quelled this con fusion and turned it into an orderly and productive world ii the beginning of creation vs 3- 5 light was the first creation before there was light the world was lifeless and chaotic without light there tould be no life and no order in each in stance creation proceeds by god utter ing his word which is immediately fulfilled his word is the expression of his will and his will is the one power in all the universe which can not be frustrated but gets itself ful- flled just as an artist stands aside and looks at his finished work so god surveys the first dawn of the worlds light he pronounces it good that is for the end it is to serve a simi lar pronouncement is made after each ceation since it come3 from gods hands the world with all its marvels and beauties is good and should be so accepted by en thus all pessim ism and despni is rulid out the an cients thought that a thing did not really exist until it received its name therefore god as the creator right ly claimed the prerogative of bestow ing the name upon the light and upon all succeeding creations iii the climax of creation vs 26- 31 the creation of man is described more fully than the preceding acts of creatior because he is the crowning work of god the human personality is to be the greatest feature in he universe before him the sun and stars pale into insignifica ice this being so god addresses the whole council of heaven see job 1 c and declares his ntention of creating him saying let us make man mans nature is described who is to be creatively active with god thus man is a steward entrust ed with the care of gods earthly estate and he is so to serve in thj world a3 to bring out its finest possi- bilitie3 finally vs 29 30 god provides sustenance for man and beast aliki for man gtains and fruit and for the beasts wild grasses the suggestion is that since man was not yet earniverous there was in the golden dawn of the world a beautiful league of peace between man and the animals the great thought however is that god who creates also provide what new york is wearing by annebelle worthington a healthy bird

collection program by march 10 in the case of individual farms seed col lections amounted to only 296 per cent of the plan on the same date another factor of great importance in the russian
