Sandhills Community

Company, Inc., of Aberdeen.

the money totaled S 16,000
which has enabled Sandhills

available for the student
work-study program. "We are
extremely grateful for the
generous grants providing
financial support to a program

Read Acts 1:1-8
"You will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes
upon you; and you will bear
witness for me in Jerusalem,
and all over Judaea and
Samaria, and away fo the ends
of the earth. (Acts 1:8, NEB)
Christmas is God with us.
Good Friday it God for us.
Pentecost is God in us. The
omnipotent God sent His
power on the first Pentecost to
men of clay. At i result, the
obscure, weak, faltering
disciples became moral and
spiritual leaders.
My friend Dan Poling once
told about his last chat with his
son Clark before Clark's tragic
death. Clark Poling was one of
the four chaplains on the
battleship Dorchester that was
sunk during World War II.
Clark said, "Dad, remember me
as I return to my post of
duty."
Dr. Poling replied, "Son, I
will pray every day that God
will bring you back home
without a scratch."
Clark answered, "Dad,
please don't pray that way. I
want you to pray that I will be
adequate for any situation."
When the test came, Clark,
along with three other
chaplains gave his lifebelt loan
enlisted man ana went uown
with the ship.
PRAYER: Lord, make me
adequate for anything today.
Send the Holy Spirit to me so
that I may be an effective
witness for You. In Jesus' spirit
I pray. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE
DAY: Christ's will is that all
His disciples prove adequate.

Pope Pius XII was once
quoted as saying, "Spiritually,
we are all Semites." The
Semites, of course, are one of
the great divisions of races and
languages to which Hebrew,
Phoenician, and Arabic belong.
The Pope was thus indicating
that Christians are spiritually
akin to the Jews. There is a
family relationship between us.
Yet, it is a relationship that
is not often recognized by
Christians. We tend to forget
that Christ himself was a Jew,
that the Church began among
the Jews, and that the early
Christians, even those who
were Gentiles, regarded
Christianity as the true
successor to the Hebrew faith.
They believed that the promise
made to the Israelites was
theirs by inheritance. They
regarded themselves as the New
Israel. The New Covenant of
Jesus Christ was the natural
development of the Old
Covenant which had been
made with the patriarchs and
passed on to each succeeding
generation.
The early Church thus saw
no break between the Hebrew
faith and the gospel of Jesus
Christ. There was a continuity
between tlie old Israel and the
new. The scriptures were seen
as a unified testimony to the
creative and redemptive
gurpose of God. Though the
ible consisted of many
divergent bits and pieces, they
saw the message as a single
story, one central theme.
That does not mean that the
early Church thought that
there were no changes between
the faith of the early Israelites
and their own gospel of Jesus
Christ. Jesus himself had said:
"You have heard that it was
said to the men of old But I
say to you...." Yet he did not
see this as the denial of the
Hebrew faith. 'Think not that
I have come to abolish the law
and the prophets; I have come
not to abolish them but to
fulfill them" (Matthew 5:17).
We may have difficulty in
seeing any sense of unity in the
Bible. We may be confused by
the great variety of types of
literature, by the changing
political, social, and religious
scenes in its pages, in the
diverse concepts of the nature
and activity in God, in the
obviously different points of
view, and the almost
innumerable paradoxes and
ironies. We may wonder how
anyone can ever put all that
together with any sense of
unity or continuity.
Y"m r
:
Coaerrnalty Gd
Yet, through all this
diversity we find certain ideas
or themes that hold together
'all the many parts and pieces.
Over and over again
throughout the Bible's pages
wt find the concepts of
creation and redemption. It it i
story that finds its beginnings,
as Dueteronomy 26 puts it, in
Abraham, "a wandering
Aramean," to whom the
promise and covenant were
given. It is a story closely tied
to the history of the people
whom Cod freed from
captivity in Egypt so that his
redemptive and creative
purposes might be furthered.
Jesus looked back to this
ancient event and saw in it the
roots of his own mission: "And
beginning with Moses and all
the prophets, he interpreted to
them in all the scriptures the
things concerning himself"
(Luke 24:27). Though the new
wine of his gospel often
threatened to burst the old
wineskins of Judaism, still
Jesus set forth his way, not at
an alternative to Judaism, but
as the highest development of
the Hebrew faith.
No less did the early Church
acknowledge (hit continuity.

l
Pisidia, Paul linked the Gospel
to the covenantal story,
concluding: "Of this man t
i David's) posterity God has
irought to Israel a Saviour,
Jesus, as he promised" (Acts
13:23).
Creation and redemption:
these are the unifying themes
we encounter in the beginning
of the Bible, the threads that
run through . it, the divine
purposes that find their
fulfillment in Christ.
