CHRIST AND POLITICS
Astronaut John Gglenn in poli
tics-running for the U. S. Senate!
It seems odd to think of him in a
political race, but evidently he feel
he can serve his country best in
politics.
But did you ever think of Christ’s
relation to politics? He came into
this world, remember, as a King.
The very opening words of the
New Testament are: "Jesus Christ,
the Son of David. . . ” (Matt 1:1).
This emphasises the fact that He
came from the royal line. John the
Baptist had gone forth as the
King’s herald, to prepare His way.
and the twelve apostles proclaimed
His royal rights as they preached
"the gospel of the kingdom.”
This was au in fulfillment of Is
aiah’s prophecy. Tor unto us a
child is born, unto us .a son is given;
and the government shall be upon
His shoulder and His name shall be
called. Wonderful, Counsellor The
mighty God, The everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace. Os the in
crease at His government and peace
there shall be no end, upon the
throne of David . . (Isa. 9:. 6,7).
Instead of crowning Him King at
His first coming, however, they
nailed Him to a cross and wrote
over His head His accusation: ‘This

is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
Strangely, though, He had come
especially, this first time, to be re
jected and crucified for the sins of
men. Psalm 22, Isaiah 53 and other
Old Testament passages had pre
dicted that at His first coming He
would be despised and rejected. As
Matt 20:28 says of this coming:
"The Son of Man came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister
and to give His life a ransom for
many.”
Our Lord did die an untimely
death; the cross was not a useless
sacrifice. He knew that man's
greatest need was moral and spirit
ual—that his sins must be paid for
if he is not to be condemned for
ever before the court of eternal
Justice. So in love He came to be
rejected and suffer and die "the
Just for the unjust, that He might
bring us to God.” (I Pet. 3:18).
He will come again to judge and
reign but for the present He deals
with mankind in grace. Eph. 1:6
says that "in Him we have redemp
tion, through His blood, the for
giveness o sins according to the
riches of His gTace" and Rom. 3:24
says that belivers are “justified
freely by God’s grace, through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
You have energy you have not
yet used. You have mental capaci
ties you have not yet used. You
have gifts of understanding and
helpfulness you have not yet used.
Stir up the gift* of God within you,
and begin right now, at this mo
ment, to live deeply and fully!
Meet the challenge! Make this
moment a new beginning! Go deep
within youraelf in prayer. Rest in
His arms, and the feeling of perfect
relaxation and confidence that
comes from prayer to Him will for
