WO MINUTES'^ WITH THE BIBLE v / \ SV CQRNiUUS R. STAM PHIS. jf / BERt AN BISU SOCIETY Jf A/i CHICAGO 35, lIIINOIS / V M God bad barely given the Law to Moses when He ordered it to be put in a coffin. That’s right --a coffin. The reason for this is that the Mosaic covenant clearly stipulated; "Now there fore. If ve will Obey My Voice Indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people for all the earth, is Mine" (Ex. >l9). Israel, of course, did not o bey God’s voice indeed, but broke the Law before Moses even got down from Sinai. It was because of this that God, in grace, said; "And they shall make Me an Ark. . (Ex. 25:10). This word "ark" is rendered “coffin" in the last verse of Genesis and that is its simple meaning. But why did God order a coffin as the very first article of furniture for the tabernacle'!' The answer is; To put the Law in Read if for yourself: ' “Arid thou shalt put into the COFFIN the testimony (the Law) which I shall give thee . . . and thou shalt put the MERCY SEAT above upon the coffin . . ."(Ex. "In all thy ways acknow ledge Him, and He will direct thy paths.’’ -- Proverbs 3; 6. Life is growth. Life is change. Life is progress. Life does not stand still, and we cannot stand still if we want to be a continuing part of life. If we cling to the past, if we try to keep our lives in a pat tern of sameness, if we resist growth or change in ourselves or in others, we find that life passed us by. We are specta tors, rathei than participants, in life. We do not want to get into set or limited patterns of thought. We do not want to cease to grow and unfold. We do not wan: to lose our sense of won der and joy, our power of imagi nation, our ability to express. We should keep ourselves alive and growing we should keep ourselves in the flowing stream of God's life, by keeping our selves alway s lr. touch and in tune with God through regulai and conscientious prayer. Our flexibility of mind and heart keeps us flexible in our atti tudes towards life and other people, keeps us open to new Church Chuckles by CARTWRIGHT L ©Oth s ■ CarYwft i&h> :=£ 949 | "Oh, when the saints ge marchin' in, ! sore wilt miss my deer eld daddy 25:16, 21). If God had not put the covenant of the law In a coffin and met with His people from a “mercy seat" none of them ever would have been saved. This Old Testament type has a lesson for us too, for If God dealt with us according to our works none of us would ever be saved, but “Christ died for our sins,” meeting for us the de mands of a broken Law, so that we might be saved by grace, through faith in His redemp tive work. Col. 2:14 says concerning this “handwriting of decrees, that was against us,” that our Lord, in death, “took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross,” and Rom. 7;6 goes on to ex plain; “But now we are de livered from the Law, that be ing Dead wherein we were held; that we might serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.“ Thus believers in Chirst are saved “’by grace ... through faith. . .not' of works” but “unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them’’ (Eph. 2* 8-10). MEDITATION A SERMONETTE BY COLIN DOUGLAS ways of living, willing to fol low new paths and to conform to new patterns, willing to be a part of growth and progress. From the beginning, God has promised, “Jehovah, thy God. . . doth go with thee,” If you climb the highest mountain, if you sail the farthest sea, if you fly above the clouds, or if you descend into the depths of the earth, God is always with you. You cannot go where He is not. He is with you wherever you are. His love is ever read;, to guide your way, to protect you, to fulfill your every need. His love makes your life peaceful and harmon ious. Live ever with this consciousness, and your life will be complete. “Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory.” --ICor. 15:57.
