Verse 6 tells us that He died for us in our weakness. Verse 8 that He died for us »n our sin, and Verse 10 that He died for us in our rebellion. First, Verse 6 says: “For when we were yet WITHOUT STRENGTH, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Men sometimes try to make themselves acceptable to God by human effort, but they never succeed. We can’t walk or run to heaven, we can’t fly there, we can't climb there— not even by doing good works, foi good, works is what we ought to do, and we should not expect them to counter-balance our sinful thoughts and deeds. Any ways, Heaven is God’s and He says we cannot gain it by works. “For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2;8,9). Next, Rom. 5:8 says: “God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet “And why be’noldest thou the mote that is in they brother’s eye, but considered not the beam that is in thine own eye?” Matt. ’";3, Most of us experience times in our lives when we feel slight ed. We fee! shut out from a group of persons or a clique in our neighborhood or organi zation. And we tend to take a critical attitude toward these other persons who seem to be enjoying themselves more than we are. At such times we magnify the trivial and over look the important. We think of others in the light of what they are failing to do for us, instead of what we can do for them. We allow envy to blind us to the high goal of help fulness and harmony set for us by God. It is at such times that we should make the supreme effort to switch ourselves from con demnation to commendation, and from criticism to compas sion. We need to keep our minds on happy, harmonious things, instead of on apparent inhar Musis Head At VSC Will Conduct Richmond Orchestra PETERESBURG - Dr. F. Na thaniel Gatlin, head of the music department at Virginia State College, will make his third consecutive annual appearance Church Chuckles by Cartwright ’ I "What denominators are you?" SINNERS. Christ died for us.” Many people feel shut out of heaven, not merely because of a sense,of helplessness, but because of a sense of sinful ness and condemnation. To such God proclaims the glad news that “Christ died for sinners,” and “came into the world to save sinners’’ (I Tim. 1:15). At Calvary He paid the just penalty for sin--for the sins cf all mankind--so that we, by faith, might be “justified free ly by God’s grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24). But Rom. 5:10 goes even far ther, offering hope and grace to those who have resisted God's grace and rejected His Son, for here the greatest Christ-re jector of all time, now glorious ly saved and changed, declares: “When we were SINNERS, we were reconcile'd’ to God by the death of His Son” (Rom. 5:10). And so the helpless, the sin ful, yes, and the rebellion, can find acceptance with God if they will turn from their sin and failure to Him. “Believeon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). MEDITATION A SERMONETTE BY COLIN DOUGLAS monies. We must remember that life isn’t a perpetual state of receiving good thinds. We have to do our share of giving, too, remembering always that our reception of happiness is in proportion to our giving of hap piness Remeber that the Divine Love of God is yours, and yours to share with all other per sons. This love of God can sus tain and protect you where ever you go, and it can make all that you do have purpose and meaning Imbued with this love of God, you can look out at the world with eyes of love, and you are not affected by what you have formerly termed slights, insults, or effronteries. By bringing God into the fore ground of your thoughts, your irritation and pique have vanished like darkness before the sun. You know that this is your Father’s world, that it is a good world, and that you are co -operating with God to keep it so. “Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee.” --Psalms 40:16. as guest conductor of the Rich mond Concert Orchestra on July 21 at 3:30 p.m. in Dogwood Dell ampitheatre.
