ay School NOVEMBER 28, 1947 By Dr. Paul Caudill TOPIC: "THE WAY OP LOVE" Scripture: I John 2:7-11; 15-17} ft: 18-18 "It I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, bat hare not love," said Paul, "I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal." (1 Cor. 13:1). * Whatever else Christianity may mean for human life, it means love. It was on account of the great love of God for a lost world that He gaye His only begotten Son to be our Saviour. Even so, it was because of Christ's love for the sinner that He, though existing in the form, of God, "counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of man; and being found In fashion as a man, he humbled him-self, becoming obedient even unto death, yea the death of the cross" (Phil. 2:6-8). The Test of Lore The manner in which we love our brothers Is a test of our love for the Lord, yea, a test of our relationship with the light. "He that salth he Is in the light and hateth his* brother, is In the darkness ' even until now" (1 John 2:9). In like manner, if BEER—America's Beverage of Moderation For Tjrue Temperance A Statement of Policy by The North Carolina Brewing Industry WE BELIEVB In—and actively work to achieve—moderation ai)d true temper WE BELIEVE in adequate state and fed* eral laws governing the sale of beer. Moreover, we ask strict enforcement of these laws.

Beer, we affirm, America's beveragfe-of moderation, asks sale only under conditions totally conforming to the standards of civic and social respectability set by our Tarheel citizenship. • NORTH CAROLINA COMMITTEE UNITED STATES BREWERS FOUNDATION EDGAR H. BAIN, Suit Director Suite 606-607 Insurance Building, Raleigh, North Carolina *»»» -*»>» one loves his brother, he "abid-j eth in the light," and no one needl have any fear of stumBling in him. There is no occasion of stumbling in love. John la talking here about what one might call "habitual love." He has in mind the idea of love as characterizing the life of the believer in his relationship to hlg brother. He is not thinking so much of the occasional except tion that ma/ come in the believer's life; it is the slant, the general tendency, the habit pattern with which he Is concerned. In other words, "The one who keeps on (or has the habit of) loving hip brother, abldeth In the light" (1 John 2:10). John knew the Imperfections that mark the .life of every Christian. That Is why he said, "And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he Is a propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the whole world" (1 John 2:1). One cannot hate his brother without walking "In the darkness," and when one walks In the darknes8 he Is not able to know where he is going for the simple reason that "the darkness hath blinded his eyes" (1 John 2:11). The Christian might as well get this straight In his thinking, and the sooner the better, for the world's sake: he cannot give jtiarbor to hate in his heart- and walk in the love way of Jesus. The two, love and hate, are as far apart as the east and tbe west; and never the twain shall meet! ' Search as you will in the life of Jesus and you will find words of love, and love only, even for His enemies. Not once did he appear to resent, with retaliation, even the personal Injuries and insults which he suffered at the hands of those who hated Him unto death. His was a deathless love. Love Not The World The Christian is to possess a discriminating love, however; he is not to love the world or the "things that are in the world" (1 John 2:15). John goes on to say that if any man does love the world, "the love of the Father is not in him." And there is a very good reason for this: "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world" (1| John 2:16). God does not want his children to plant their affection upon that which*is unworthy and which is temporal. "And the world pas-1 seth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever" (1 John 2:17). There is nothing lasting or satisfying in the claims of the flesh. Is the flower of the field withereth and fadeth away, even so does the flesh with all of its pleasures. Material things, all of them, are perishable; and they never satisfy. Jesus knew this, and that is one of the reasons why he rejected the temptation of Satan in the wilderness when Satan said, "All these things J will give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me" (Matt. 4:9). As one of our historians has well said, "No loving thing goes on forever." Change and decay are written upon all things material. The Roman Amphitheatre, the palaces of the Caesars, and the temples of the heathen gods have long since crumbled into dust. Only he that is continually engaged in the doing of the Father's will abideth forever. Love In Deed A*d In Truth "But whoso hath this world's goods, and beholdeth his brother! in nwd, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of Ood abide in him?" (1 John 3:17). Here we have a ringing challenge to translate our lore for others into deeds of mercy. It Is possible for one's concept of love to be noble enough, In theory, bnt to lack actuality. The Implications of John's words are Inescapable. If we who profess to know Christ a« Saviour and Lord behold e brother who is actually in need of this world's goods, and we are in a position to minister to him, but fail to do so, then we are falling to live up to our calling.' How, says John, doth the love of God abide in such an one? This, for that matter, is the head and front of all our offending as Christians. We simply do not live up to the light we have. It is not that we do not know; it is rather that we do not care. In sending out His disciples to evangelize the world Jesus expressly declared that they commanded you" (Matt. 28:20). Only ujfon the fulfillment of this charge were they to beoome heir to the promise, "and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." John reminds us of the fact that Jesus Is our example. We are to love as He loved, and sacrifice for others even to the point of laying down our life, if need be: "Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethern" (1 John 3:16). Only by following His example can we become worthy of the calling whereby - we are called "children of God."
