Sinday School Lesson By R*v Wayloo R Wallace ' wwuiigs lenow tsiDle-stu dents. Our lesson subject for this Sunday is “Personally ; Accountable to God. ’' We have two lesson scriptures. They • are Luke 12:35 - 48 and James 5:1 - 6. This lesson has a message of gold for us because it has so much to say. First of all, it . tells us that we are all accoun * table to God. We are account able to God because, “it is he that has made us and not we ourselves." So, as we belong to him we are also account able to him. Furthermore, sin ce mankind has abused the freedom which God has bless ed us with and sold ourselves - to Sin and Satan, God has ; bought us back with the prec ) >ous blood of his Son, Jesus : Christ. We are his twice over. We are accountable to him for the fact that all 0(w< that : enjoy is received from his gracious hand. We owe ac countability to God for it is through his great love that the • guilt of our sins have been charged to Jesus.’ : The next message of this lesson is that some day each of us must give account to God for our leadership in life. Each person without a single excep tion will give account. The ■ rich, especially because so often in this life their money enables them to escape jus tice. But, the poor will not be excused because of his pover ty. No one will be excluded because of their racial back ground or national origin. The highly educated as well as the ■ illiterate must give account to • God. Those of uncommon or exceptional ability must give ’ account. We must give account of • ourselves. No one else. We point the finger at someone else so many times as a way of excusing an action we know to i be wrong. But, God is not selves. This is very serious as we consider that God knows eve rything. That is He already knows what we have done and are doing. He is always pre sent everywhere. He knows our thoughts. There are many things we try to hide from the world but there is nothing that can be hidden from God, and this is who we must give account to. The wicked servant erred in that he forgot that he was accountable, he felt secure that his master was not pre sent and would not know of his indescretions, and he neglect ed to be prepared for the master's return. This is the third great message of the lesson. We must prepare to meet God. Without a doubt we will all meet God someday. We must meet him for our QPluPC U/o __ count of what we have done with the life that He has entrusted to our care. Have we wasted our lives, or have we with the help of God made something worthy of them. Many folk today are con cerned with the judgement to come at the end of the world. But, let us not become too overlv disturbed about this. For then we die it is the end i of this world for us. Let us prepare ourselves for death. < For we must die and cannot | live forever in this life. How < shall we prepare for death and t the divine appointment to , follow? First, by accepting the good news of Christ as the J basis for our lives. Second, by ] living a life of service to Christ. Are you prepared to give account to God concerning the use of the time he has entrust ed to your care? Have you used it to develop the abilities that he has blessed you with? Have you used it to serve the i around you in •*** 'elp? , Rev Wallace Church News Briefs Mrs. Harris Is First Bax dst Church’s Women Day Speaker .
