IMI SUPPOSE Jesus had died Ave seconds after be was born? What difference would tt have made to the Christian religion? One of the most ancient Christian creeds says that the Son of God "was made man." Some theologi ans have supposed that the Chris tian religion would be no different if all we knew was that lor one single Instant the Eternal became man; that If Jesus had died Ave seconds after he was born, he would still have meant to us all that he can ever mean. , This is surely a grotesque mis take. The New Testament declares that the "word became flesh." that is, was made man; but that is only the start of the story. The four Gospels are there to tell us that the Word became Jeeas. It makes all the difference in the world what kind of man God-in the-flesh is. ? ? ? ? Last Days Of Hitler Adolf Hitler was one of the false leaders of men, as Jesus is the true one. They had nothing in common except that when each passed into the shadow of death, he knew it for what it was. One of the most gruesome books of nan-fic tion is "The Last Days of Hitler," ?*? Fereraaa by H. R. Trevor-1 loper (Macmil lan 1947). The author, a British intelligence officer, was sent to Bnd out, from evidence fresh on the spot, what actually happened to Hitler in those last days in Berlin. The story is a terrible one, and the more so for being true. In the days 'Of his glory, Hitler bad seemed to millions of people to be a great man. But when the shadows fell,?and his "thousand year empire" sas being crushed to powder by the armies of the tree. then, in the darkness of his underground bunker the reidjHit ler came out?great only inmad ness and in evil. Three monsters stalked hif soul in those dark hours. One was in difference to others, even cruelty; nothing disturbed him so much as his own fate. Another was revenge; foaming at the mouth, be ranted about the terrible things he would do to all who were against him. Ugly mother Njf these other two was Fear. He spoke of glory, but his heart was not in it His ! words and acts were proud and ! cruel, but his mind's eye -<>st ! have seen already the red i ! over hfci fjysaken corpse. ! How Was It With Jesus? How different with Jesus! The light that was in him shone more than ever brightly when the shad ows came. Jesus, far from being indifferent to others, was sympa thetically aware of them. He ap preciated, as others did not the devotion of the woman who broke ever him that flask of perfume. When the disciples fell asleep in Gethsemane, he was not harsh with them, for be knew how weak ; the flesh can be. Jesus was aware, I too, of his friends' weaknesses 1 and sins. He rebuked the quar | relsome disciples at the supper (table. He foretold how they would ; all forsake him and flee. He knew I how much fear there was beneath Peter's brave bragging. Yet be did not spend a single word con demning others, not even Judas. The loving and the unloving, the loyal and the uncaring, they were all on Jesus' heart in those dark hours. He Heed tor others then, no less than kt earlier days. ? ? ? Aware Of Oof If ever a man had an excuse for bitterness and revenge, it was Jesus. But his Hps and heart were free ef both. Pear did not despoil him, because ha kept on believ ing in the Father on high. The shadow of death did not conceal the face of God. It would have been easier, you might think, to believe in God's coming Kingdom .during the days of success In Galilee than in the Upper Room with death breathing over his shoulder. But even there he was as certain of God's King dom as If it had already come. Prayer had surely not always been the agony it was in Gethsemane; but he keeps praying even there. That God is and will be the final Judge of all, is not easy to be lieve in a Pilate's courtroom; but Jesus' faith never trembled.
