Christ
A lot of people today wonder just,
where the Teaching of Christ fits into
a world at wra\ Some people are call
ed upon to get out and^destroy - thdr
fellow man. Others must give . t^heir
whole time to the manufacture of lihqse
weapons that are used to destroy human
lives. others, and it should be all
, of US, support the war through the pur
' chaso of War Bondf3. Even if v/e have no
part in any of these activities, , v/e
are ^supporting the war. effort through
the taxes that our National Governraent
has put upon us. There is no one vrho
does not have a part in this/wanton
killing of people. Are we then to say
that we have forsaken, the teaching cf
the Prince of Peace by our part in the
' , wareffort ? . \
Christianity is not any npollyanna”
outlook on life. It is very .realistic,
and faces the X'^orld as it is, and does
, not cringe or hide frpm any ,of the
■ .' brutality that is in the world. The.
Christian way of life is, and has beoQ;^
down^through the centuries a way of
life that' recognizes the difficulties
and failtares Of man, but at the same
time has, hope,' and faith, that, these'
evils V7i 11'ultimately"be overcome. ,
Man Was ■ created for a purpose. ‘ If he
fulfills ' that purpoBe/ he is perfect
/ We, arc called tc be perfect by the
divine Will of G-bd. p.ut ^'•ou and: i^: are.
ho,t perfect, nor do we dwell among;per^
feet people. Let»s consider the war;
If ,I fight, and kill my enemy . I break
; the Sixth Commandment. If ;I don»t, th-^
'. ■ en I. do not stand up the Christian
principle that all men are brothers;
for I would allow ■ one•prideful people
to enslave all of the rest of the
vjorld, ;and so all (iecency- between ’ man
would , be destroyed. gither .poli-'--,
cy would be ^vilj for both fighting and
not fighting are wrongi«’
: Whatever I do I fall short ,of the per
fection for which I was create^.' In/
matter which policy t follow. , Christ came'.
Despite my sin,,
G-o'd in my . short
decision, V bu^: I
follow, I still
other words,, I sin, no
to save sinners. There is the Christian message.
Chri,st comes to assure me of. the forgiveness'of
comings. I must do the best that I can'in every
■should always recognize that which ever course I
need his forgiveness.
With that then as the ba,sis of my life, I can draw these conclu
sions: In this war effoi?t, ,I have to make a decision whether , I
will help or, hinder. If I choose either course>“ I ain ' doing wrong
But, ,and h^ere is the Christian:faith, G^pd so loves me. that; even
in doing my best in what j .khow to be wrong,', he will fbrgive me
and assure me that He still loves me, if t. acknowledge that I am
doing v/r6ng_, Yesi get the war oyer. ; Dp ybur best to make 'this' a
peaceful vrorld where men may be borthers, but all of the time
know that you need His forgiveness and that He will give it. ,
