"Do you believe I can walk across these falls?" he asked a bystander. "Yes," was the reply. "Do you believe I can carry a man on my shoulders?" he further inquired. "Yes, I do," the man stated. - 'Would i you be the; man to ride on my. shoulders?" he asked. "No, not me!" he : emphatically replied. Faith, sometimes, is a strange thing. Like the man and the tight-rope walker, it takes on a different meaning when it involves Its per sonally. We often believe in great achievements and ideals, but we do not want to be an actual part in their ac complishments. Great faith is that which is supported by our own efforts our own energies and talents. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: "IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING -BE WILLING TO BE A PART OF IT."

Phone: 426-7311 THE MM fQMS ' mi PHKPAIUNG T1IK WAY (Matthew3:l-12 Emerson observed that "Men of God have always from time to time, walked among men, and made their commission felt in the heart and soul of the' commonest hearer." John the Baptist was a man of God. He was ' God's man sent to walk among men. He made his commission felt in the heart and soul of Those who heard him. These next two lessons will lead up to the Christmas message on December 22. Today our lesson is concerned with the preparation for the coming : of Christ in the flesh. In this preparation God used a ; man. The Man, Matthew 3: l-:t Some 400 years before ..Matthew wrote, Malachi the prophet has spoken for God, "Behold, Iwill send my , messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts." God always keeps His promises. The day had come. God's man appeared. John Ihe Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judaea. God has made special preparation through this man. John was wholly suited for the tremendous task. His father was a priest. His mother was of a daughters of Aaron, "And they were both righteous before (Sod, walking in the commandments and or dinances of the Lord blameless" (Luke 1:6). John was to be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb ( Luke 1:15). Matthew calls him a prophet (Matthew 11:9). He was a bold and courageous preacher.

We look next at the manner of this man who literally emptied the city if Jerusalem and all Judaea? His Manner, Matthew 3:4- His coat or robe, was made from camel's hair which had been woven. A cheap leather girdle held his robe together at the waist. His dress was much like that of the prophet Elijah. His meat was locust and honey from wild bees. This was food very common to the poor of John's day. There must have been a genuineness about this simple man. He was a man of convictions with the courage to stand by them. He drew the multitudes. They came from all over to hear what this strange prophet had to say. It soon became obvious to the multitudes that this voice they were hearing was from God. They began to get themselves baptized in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. Verses 7 through 12 of Matthew Chapter 3 tell us of John's message. His Message Matthew 3:7-12 His message was a message of repentence. John saw himself as the forerunner of the Messiah. His mission was to get the people to prepare their hearts for the kingly rule of God. Many confessed their sins and turned away from them, even submitting themselves to baptism. Before John, baptism had been only for Gentiles who desired to become Jews. Even Ihe Pharisees and Sadducees came to John requesting baptism. It is Rt. 4 Hertford 264-2318 2861 SUPPLIERS OF OIL PRODUCTS , GOODYEAR TIRES PHONE 426-5544 obvious that they were not sincere. They had not turned from their sinful ways and (Sod's Spirit-filled preacher saw through their preten sion. They reminded John of a brood of snakes scurrying across the desert to escape the fire and he told them so! He went on to demand of them a change of attitudes and actions. They : must bring forth evidence that they had truely repented. It was not enough for them to know they were descendents of Abraham. Nobody can go to heaven on the merits of somebody else. If God had merely wanted numbers He could have I urned the stones to children of Abraham. John's message was a message of judgment. God had come before in judgment. The Israelites had suffered captivity and other forms of chastisement. But now the axe was lying at the very root of the trees. There must be a genuine repentance on the part of the people or this time there wouldn't even be the stump left! Verses 11 and 12 consist of a promise and a warning. True repentance and faith in (Sod's promised Messiah will bring a baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. This means no less than the abiding presence and power of God within the believer' "With fire" is probably a reference to judgment. Fire purifies. It brings a spiritual cleansing. Christ will gather the ones who belong to Him. He will reject those who have rejected Him. Ryland spoke truthfully when he said, "No sermon is of any value, or likely to be useful which has not the three R's in it; ruin by the fall, redemption by Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit."

ANSWER:' . ! The Bible never taugljt that man could be saved by keeping the Ten Com' mandments. They were never given to bring one into right standing with God. They are principles, con cepts, disclosures of the will of God. The Christian, like Christ, has one consuming passion to know and do the will of God. .
