CRS-ANSWERS!

 

(1a)

One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was. Then the LORD called Samuel. Samuel answered, “Here I am.”

 

Samuel then ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down. Again the LORD called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” “My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD: The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.

 

The LORD called Samuel the third time, and Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that the LORD was calling the boy.

 

So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, `Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.'” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

 

The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

 

And the LORD said to Samuel: “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle. At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family from beginning to end. For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons made themselves contemptible, and he failed to restrain them.

 

Samuel was scared to reveal what the lord has revealed to him concerning what he will do to the house hold of Eli. After much persuasion Samuel revealed to Eli what the Lord has said. Eli wasn’t remorseful at all. This was how Samuel was as well called to take over the mantle from Eli and his house hold.

(2a)

The people of Israel left Egypt, rejoicing that they were free from slavery! God had used many miracles to deliver them. They had seen God’s great power and love for them. But now they were being led by Moses into the unknown.

 

Moses led the people out of Egypt through the wilderness to the Red Sea. But it was really God who was leading them. God provided a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night to guide them.

 

After several days they camped near the sea.

 

The people must have been fearful when they saw how wide and deep the sea was. They may have wondered, How are we going to cross over all this water to the other side? They probably thought they would drown trying to cross over the sea.

 

Meanwhile, God still had another plan for Pharaoh. He said, “I will harden Pharaoh’s heart one more time so he will go after Israel. Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.”

 

So Pharaoh got his army ready and chased after them. He was sorry that he had let them leave. He wanted them back so they could continue to serve the Egyptians as slaves. He caught up with them camped by the sea.

 

As the Egyptian army came close, the Israelites saw them. They were very afraid. They cried out to God to save them. They said, “It would have been better if we had stayed in Egypt and served them.”

 

But Moses told them, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still and see how God will save you. The Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.”

 

Then God told Moses, “Lift up your rod over the sea and divide it. The people will cross over on dry ground through the sea.”

 

Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. God caused the sea to divide. Soon there was a path of dry ground all the way across the sea to the other side.

 

The people of Israel were still afraid, but they had to walk into the middle of the sea on the dry ground. The walls of water were way over their heads, on their right side and on their left.

 

There were so many people with all their herds and flocks, it would take a long time to get to the other side. So God moved the pillar of cloud behind them. Then the Egyptians couldn’t come near them.

 

But as soon as they could, Pharaoh’s army, horses and chariots also went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground. They tried to hurry to catch up with the people of Israel.

 

God saw what the Egyptians were doing. He caused their chariot wheels to fall off. They were stuck in the middle of the sea, not able to go forward or backward.

 

After the Israelites walked safely to the other side of the sea, God said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand again over the sea. The waters will come back and cover up the Egyptians, their chariots and their army.”

 

As Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, the water returned to its full depth. The high walls of water closed together. The Egyptians struggled to try to get out of the sea. But the water returned quickly and covered the chariots, the horsemen and all of Pharaoh’s army that had come into the sea after Israel.

 

Not one of the Egyptians was left alive. All of them drowned.

 

So God saved the people of Israel that day from the Egyptians. Now the people feared God and believed Him and His servant Moses.

 

Then Moses and the people of Israel sang a song of praise. They thanked God for delivering them from the Egyptians. Though they soon forgot, they knew God had brought them safely through the Red Sea. They were now free to go and worship God.

(3a)

 

Once more Jesus visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When the nobleman heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death. ‘Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,’ Jesus told him, ‘you will never believe.’ The royal official (the nobleman) said, ‘Sir, come down before my child dies.’ Jesus replied, ‘You may go. Your son will live.’ The man took Jesus at his word and departed. While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, ‘The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.’ Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, ‘Your son will live.’ So he and all his household believed. This was the second miraculous sign that Jesus performed, having come from Judea to Galilee.

 

The nobleman (a government official) walked about 20 miles to see Jesus and addressed him as “Sir.” This tells us that even though the man had legal authority, he was submitting to Jesus. The man traveled this distance to ask Jesus to cure his son, who was very sick and near death.

 

The officer believed Jesus could heal and operated in that faith. This is proven with his obedience that followed. The man asked Jesus to come to the man’s son (in another town) or he would die. Yet, Jesus said “You may go. Your son will live.” The nobleman obeyed and returned to his son, believing that Jesus needed only to speak the words that his son would live. This demonstrated great faith. We see from this that we can not operate in lip service, we must truly have and act in faith.

 

Although the man’s son was miles away, when Jesus spoke the words, the boy was healed. Distance is no barrier for the power of Christ. Often we ask but have doubts that our prayers will be answered. As the nobleman, we must ask, and proceed – believing that our prayer is already answered though we may not see the results. Even if it is not always instant, God will always answer in His time and in His way, according to His will. We can be assured He does hear our petitions.

 

As this official approached home, his servants met him with news of the son’s recovery. The officer asked what hour his son became well. They answered that the boy’s fever left in the 7th hour; the man knew that was the time Jesus said that his son would live. They asked their master how this could happen. It gave the nobleman an opportunity to tell them about Jesus and what he had done.

 

 

 

 

As a result of the nobleman’s testimony, his whole household believed. His own faith was strengthened and the event is great affirmation of the power of Jesus.
