WORDS OF LIFE
By ALEX B. HANSON
Messiah Episcopal Chuck
Scripture readings: Jer. 31: 33
and St. John, 13: 34-35.
Text: By this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples. St.
John, 13: 35.
When our Lord began to re
veal that he was to be betrayed
(St. Matt. 26 : 21-22) the apostles
began to ask, "Lord, is it 1?
In our day and age when Christ
ianity is referred to both as
"popular" and as "forgotten", it
might be just as well for each of
us to ask in like manner, "Am
I a Christian?"
Just what is a Christian? Many
a person will answer, "He is a
law abiding person". But is just
just that Christianity?
The Communists, under their
law, are law abiding people- An
other will answer, "A generous
person is a Christian." But is
just that Christianitl?
The Pharisees were generous
to the extent of a full tenth plus
lavish charity.
And still another might answer,
"A Church member is a Cris
tian". Is that the full answer?
Our jails are populated with
church members- It begins to be
obvious that an unequivocal ans
wer is needed. What is that ans
wer?
In one of his great prophecies
on the coming of the Messiah
(Jer. 31: 33), God promises that
he will write his laws (not in our
law books, but) in our hearts. It
may be that this is the answer
we are seeking.
For surely, if a man's actions
are not because be loves evil and
not because he loves only him
self, but because he loves God,
then we would be sale in calling
him "Christian". How can we
know, or be sure of, these things?
Man controls his own actions.
Each act he performs from aris
ing until again going to bed, he
does it because he gives mental
consent thereto- Is there any real
ly simple reason then why know
ing about God he does so many
evil acts. Yes! In each act that
the person enjoys, ? making a
quick dollar, _ speaking evil of
a neighbor, ? NOT being a
church member, ? NOT doing
this or that for God, he kids
himself along thinking, ? "this
doesn't matter". And the habit is
formed. So long as the person
thinks that ANY act doesn't mat
ter, the devil is sure of his mem
ber.
Man forgets that he himself
acts, ? but it is God who weighs
And as to the man who things he
can compel God to justify him,
because he is "sincere" in his act;
let that man remember that the
devil is absolutely SINCERE
The appeal to Christian is the
appeal both to love and to rea
son, ? "Love and be loved", ?
and, "obey God, or else".
So that, in the end, Christianity,
if a man is one, is in man's will,
?his will to serve and obey God
in every thought, work, and act.
Three men at a coffee counter
were telling why they kept with
in the law while driving. One
said, ? "I drive safely because if
I kill someone, I might have to
spend the rest of my life in jail".
The second said, ? "With me,
its because if I were in jail, the
