“What think ye of Christ?” (Mat
thew 22:42). This is the most import
ant question you will ever be called
upon to answer. Your answer to it
will determine whether you spend
eternity in heaven or in hell.
No doubt you have given some
amount of thought to Him. For 1900
years now men have been talking
about Him, thinking about Him, writ
ing about Him and expressing opin
ions about Him one way or another.
Yet this question is as vital and as up
to date as that day 1900 years ago
when it was first asked: What think
ye of Christ?
You cannot be neutral in your
opinion of Him; God has not made that
possible. You must either be for Him
or against Him. Either He is the Son
of God or He is not the Son of God.
He claimed to be the Son of God. If
He claimed to be the Son of God, and
was not the Son of God, He was an

I Him ? Or are you willing to own that
ihere is God eome in the flesh.
What do yoa think of His being
bom in a stable when He could have
been bom in a palace? What do you
think of His love for us that was so
great that even while we were yet
sinners He left the glory and majes
ty of heaven for the misery, and sor
row, and shame, and suffering of
earth?
What do you think of Him as a
teacher? His hearers all bear wit
ness that He spoke with authority.
“He spake as never man spake.” So
simple are His parables and stories
that the youngest child can grasp
their meaning, yet He confounded the
wisest men of His day, and even to
our own time no one claims to fully
understand all of His teachings.
Today, with 1900 years of history
between His time and ours, men dare
to deny that He is the only-begotten
Son of God. But this is not the testi
mony of those who met Him face to
face. His enemies, indeed the very
devils in hell, never fail to address
Him as Jesus, the Son of the Most
High God. His friends; Peter, who
denied Him; Thomas, who doubted His
resurrection; Paul, who did his best

bear eloquent testimony to the won
derful truth that He is God’s only
Son. The angel, who saw Him in the
bosom of the Father, who stood and
wondered as He left heaven’s glory
to come down and dwell among men,
sang enthusiastically to the shepherds
as they watched their blocks about
Bethlehem, “Behold I bring you good
tidings of great job, which shall be to
all people. For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.” And there
is a higher witness than all of these.
For God Himself, at His baptism, and
again on the Mount of Transfigura
tion, bears witness to an anxious
| world, “This is my beloved Son.”
What think ye of Christ? God said,

THE POWER OF TRADE
More than four decades ago com
mon sense was cast out of the win
dows by the leading nations of the
world. The nations fought and mil
lions died. They spent billions of dol
lars paying for warfare. They sign

already been broken. Nations became
allies then became enemies. At the
present time the world is in turmoil.
Politicians and soldiers have failed
to secure for the world a permanent
peace. All their negotiations are not
