14. UM
CAN man m God "tocuaad"? 11
m at* la aaa Ood at all that

quota trom a wonderful Itttla book.
"Your God la Too Small" (by J. O.
Phillip*, the Macmlllan Co., M
FUtb A**.. New Yoik 11. N. Y.):
"There muat be mora than alurive
?parka and flaabea at the dirlne?

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.
