Make Church - Going A Habit ... KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE International Sunday School Lesson for May 18 Memory Selection: “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."—John 5:39. Lesson Text: John 5:37-47; 16:12-15; Acts 8:26-35; 17:10-12; James 1:22-25. Any of us who are making our living in the world Os industry (especially an industry whose concern is in the realm of marketing) will rec ognize the old saying: “There’s a difference be tween a salesman' and an ‘order-taker’." The difference is equally applicable to a student of the Bible and a mere “reader.” A student will study and learn and question—and try to un derstand; while a reader will merely turn a passage at random and quickly scan it —gaining nothing much from it, but merely satisfying a sense of “duty”—and acquiring a sense of smug self-satisfaction. And just as the alive, vibrant salesman, be lieving in his product, accumulates the orders and assures himself of a good living, so will the ardent student of things theological assure him self of riches beyond mere material standards, whereas the reader (the “order-taker”) merely meets the needs of thq. moment—and those not too adequately. For the reading of the Bible ought to be an oasis of the soul—whereby one renews spiritual strength; courage, and confi dence with which to meet the challenges of temporal life; whereby, in all humility, one can keep a sense of perspective, and grow as a per son-one who is worthy of the supreme sacri fice of Jesus Christ. Jesus led and taught the disciples always making allowances for their humanity. He knew that it would take time for the full mean ing of His ministry to make itself felt He knew that, by careful teaching methods and planning, they would finally come to fully un derstand the portent of His life. As they grew in grace, so would they grow in their knowledge of His redemptive purpose regarding mankind. This same spiritual principle applies to the Christian’s understanding of the Bible. As a child, bom into the Christian faith, we accept and believe; later, we believe —and reason- For our understanding of the Scriptures is truly a pilgrimage in the deepest sense of the word; just ‘as we reach levels of tolerance and pain, so we reach levels of understanding. A lack of understanding of the Scriptures robs us of the spiritual help that is available to us, just as the inability to grasp the importance of the method of study robs the college student of the ability to understand and appreciate the fountain of knowledge that has been made available. Perhaps the purport of this lesson is con tained in a nutshell —in James I, verses 22 through 25. They are both an exhortation and a warning. It is so easy to hear—and dismiss; it is so much harder (and so much more chal lenging) to hear and heed. Continued on Page I BELK - TYLER’S EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER W. E.
