[SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
SERVING A LIVING SAVIOR
■
■ International Sunday School Lesson for April 14
a
2 Memory Selection: “Peace be unto you; as my
■ Father has sent me, even so send I you.”—John
■ 20:21.
I Lesson Text: John 20-21.
B In our last lesson we studied the shameful act
■of Calvary; and—were we to end our studies
■ there—we would be plunged into a sense of use
" lessness and tragedy.
P Today, however, our lesson is concerned with j
■ the living Lord—the Resurrection which brought
■ comfort and strength to His mourning disciples,
■ and which brings that same comfort and strength
5 to us today—also His disciples.
| For in His death, and in His resurrection, was
■ —and is—the assurance that there is a greater
■ life beyond the Valley of Death than that in I
I which we are presently engaged. The risen Lord
I assures us of victory over death. He is still the :
■ living Saviour of the world, and, as such, com-1
Jmands our obedience and service.
J Certain it is that, as the disciples met in that \
■ back room, they were in despair—hiding from;
■ persecution at the hands of the Jews, bereft of:
\ their leader. And then—suddenly—the wonder- j
■ ful revelation. The doors were shut and locked,
■ but there, in their midst—stood Jesus, the risen
I Christ. Can you imagine the sudden flood of
j hope, of joy, of renewed faith? Most surely, j
■ gloom and despair must have been chased away. I
■ and those present imbued with a renewed sense |
Jof purpose. For Jesus had a commission for]
j these, His dearly loved companions of that part|
| of His life which He had spent among men.|
i They were to continue to preach the Gospel, j
■ even though He would not talk with them in hu-|
■ man form; for He would assuredly be with themj
* in the Holy Spirit.
Jesus’ greeting to His followers (which is thel
I text of our Memory Selection this week) holds!
I as true for us. His present-day disciples, as itl
j did the day it was spoken.
In Jesus’ catechism of Peter it is obvious that!
the risen Lord demands love above all else. And!
total commitment. For these are the prere-l
quisites of faithful Christian service. !
If we have studied our Bible assidiously, ill
will be noted that there is a rhythm pulsating!
through it. Jesus continuously, during His life!
on earth, gathered people around him during Hisl
teaching periods. And —the chosen few—He sent!
forth to journey in the land and proclaim His
message to many peoples.
This “rhythm”—this gathering, and the glean
nig, are the heartbeat of the Church as it is
known today. For the present-day Christian has
a gathering place in his church—a secure re
treat—and a command to go. The Christian ob
ligation to action is an obligation of love. The
flock must be fed—the flock must be tended.
Thus commanded Jesus Christ, and that com
mand must not fall on deaf ears.

HALLELUJAH I
Eddie was the smallest one in the
choir today. He stood at the end of
the front row, stretched tall as he
could, and sang with his whole heart.
I looked up at his round freckled
boy-face and wondered what he was
thinking as the Easter anthem rose in
crescendo and blessed the April air.
Were his thoughts on chocolate bun
nies and rainbow-colored eggs, or on
the stirring story he was singing—
"He is not here, but is risen”?
Os one thing I am certain. When
he is grown and thinks of Eastertime
back home, it won’t be the candy eggs
and Easter baskets he’ll remember;
but the smell of lilies at the chancel
rail, the joy of joining his voice to a
Hallelujah chorus.
Give your child a lifetime gift. Cele
brate special Sundays and every Sun
day by going to your church and tak
ing him with you.

THE CHURCH FOR All . . . j
... AU FOR THE CHURCH j
The Church Is the greatest factor on I
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of I
spiritual values. Without a strong
Church, neither democracy nor civilizo- j
tion can survive. There ore four sound I
reasons why every person should j
attend services regularly and support |
the Church. They aret (1) For his own j
sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For j
the sake of his community and nation. |
(4) For the sake of the Church Itself, j
which needs his moral and material j
support. Plan to go to church regularly I
and read you Bible dally.
