Phillip*, the Macmlllan Co., M FUtb A**.. New Yoik 11. N. Y.): "There muat be mora than alurive ?parka and flaabea at the dirlne? there muat ba a flam# burnlnj ateadlly ao that ita lifht can ba ex amined ... It la a faicinattay prob lem for ua human balnea to coo alder how the Etar nil tseing?wunrng to "show men his own Character to cuaed. hit own Thought e x pressed, and his own Purpose dem onstrated ? could introduce himself into the stream at human history without disturbing ** or disrupting it . . . the thing must be done properly?It must not be merely an act put on for man's benefit. If it is to be done at all God must be man." ? ? ? The Chorocter of God Now the central Christian belief is that God has done exactly that; he has been and is "focused." brought to the point where he can be clearly seen and known, in a man. in the Man Christ Jesus. One fair question would occur to most people just here: Is the belief tha Jesus Christ is divine just a belief of other people about him, or did Jesus himself ever make any such claim? The answer Is that Jesus did make such a tremendous claim for himself. Now he never went about saying "I am God." He never said that so much as once. But what he did say was so clear, and what it implied about his deity was so plain, that his enemies, who did not believe him. naturally called It blasphemy. The 7th and 8th chapters of John are made up of a sort of running debate or argument between Jesus and his hostile critics * Three points at least stand out. One is that Jesu* claimed to be in complete harmony with God.?in Dr. Phillips' words, he focused God's character. "I al ways do what is pleasing to him." he said. ? ? ? The Thought of God Again. Jesus over and over em phasized that his teachings were not his own, but that he spoke what the Father gave him to speak His own description of himself (John 8 40) is "a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God." "I do nothing on my own author ity." he said; "but speak as the Father taught me " "1 declare to the world what 1 have heard from him." "My teaching is not mine, but, his who sent me" (7:16i Now it is not possible for any man to penetrate or understand all the thoughts of God No human mind is capable of understanding them all. What we need, and all we need, is what God thinks about us. We want to know what he wants us to do. We want to know how he thinks we should live. (The only persons who don't want to know that are atheists; once you believe in God at all. you can understand how im portant it is to know what God thinks.) It is this that Jesus meant when he said his teachings were from God. But this involves a tre mendously high claim on Jesus' jiart. He claimed that his thoughts were identical with God's thoughts, that his wisdom was God's wisdom. If he had said outright, "I am God." could he have claimed any higher authority? ? ? ? The Purpose of God Jesus not only claimed to focu* the character and the thought of God, but to focus his purpose. This also was better understood later cn than in Jesus' own lifetime, for the Cross and the Resurrection were a part of God's purpose. What is the great all-inclusive Ptirpose of God for us human beings? Why did Chrjst come to live and work and teach and die and rise again? Was it simply to "show off' God? Not at all. It was (as one of the great Creeds says "for us men and for our salvation." Note what Jesus himself said would come to pass when men followed him, or to use his own startling figure of speech, "ate" him like bread. "drank" him like water. "He who believes in me. out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water." "He who follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life." "Thg ti uth will make you free." "If any one keeps my word. he will never see death." That the life of God should flow into and illumine all the life of man; this is the Purpose of God for us.
