4A —THE CAROLINA TCMES SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1072 Life And How do you feel about life and how do we feel about death? As a rule, our thoughts are not centered too much around either. It is something we do in a casual way. We think about both but not too seriously. Once there is life, we do all we can to maintain life, be it ourselves or others. Many people have lost their lives trying to save others. Many have been saved due to others chancing their lives for them. These are classified as heroes. In wars, this is almost a daily thing, lives are saved due to oth*>rs chancing theirs for others and not necessarily friends. To see or even hear of others having their lives snatch ed from them due to careless- ness, causes something to run through us that we cannot ex plain. People caught in fires, cannot escape, car wrecks, be ing murdered by someone else when there is nothing you can do but look. To stand by see ing people loose their lives is more than waht we term as a notion. I have heard of people out of curosity, get permission to see an execution, then cannot stand to see it through. In many cases, had to be carried from the viewing room. Then there are those who try and toughen themselves to see it through and do but something has been taken out of them. It is something hard to do, see an individual put to death and nothing happen to you on the inside. As we live, we live not for ourselves but for others. My living has bareing on someone else, so I have to be unusual careful as I live, as to how I live. The life I live is known as a natural life. I was born by means of nature and I live also by nature. I eat things nature provides and this is what 1 crave. When I get sick, the doc * Aon depend on herb* to give me for relief. It is amazing the important part vegetation play in help keeping us alive. It is also amazing the important part we as humans play keeping vegeta tion alive. So we depend on each other for survival. In large cities where there is not too much vegetation, how people suffer due to the scarci ty of vegetation. When the time comes for us to give up our space here on earth, this means this natural life of ours has reached its end. It takes on another source of living. When the end has been reached, that is known as the first death. All that we failed to do or get done before the first death will not get done. Our only chances for pleasing God is when we are living the natural life or before the na trual death. During this spaed Kingdom Seekers Bible Class Convenes in Monthly Meeting The Kingdom Seekers Bible Class of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church held their monthly class meeting Sunday, March 12, 1972 at 4:30 p.m. The meeting was opened by the singing of Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross."

There are two spirits, the evil and the good. The Devil is in control of the evil and God is in control of the good. During the natural phase of our time, the Devil, controled your thoughts, your actions and your decisions. By him being in complete control of > fe, the question is, what s; ..it was in control at vour death? The wedges of sin is death but the gift of God is Eternal life. How do w get eternal life? Remember the young rich ruler? He was seeking eternal life so he told Christ. Christ in turn told him what he had to do to obtain or get eternal life. It turned out he was not as in terested as he thought he would be. He turned it down. The first and second death we have to face. The first death is bad but nothing like the se cond death? I will give you some scripture on this. Read with all your understanding and seek help in the event you need help. This is the program laid out for us by The Holy Powers. Man had nothing to do with it. There is no way we can adjust this plan to suit us, we will have to adjust ourselves to this Super Plan. 1 Corinthians, 15:26, tells that death is classified as an enemy, but will be destroyed. Revelation, 20:13-15, tells about the second death. The first death came about at the end of our natural lives. Now we have the second death to en counter. This must be the Spi ritual death. Read Revelation 21. For clearer understanding, read it all. John, who Christ called on to write the Revelation, is tell ing us what Christ put before him to tell us. This is not John but Christ through John. It was the same when Peter confessed that Christ was "The Son Of The Living dod," it was not Peter but God through Him. We cannot and must not give John the credit for writing the book of Revelation, we will and must give John credit for living so he could, would and was called on to do this spiri tual deed. When an individual dies, he only dies for self or one death. When Christ died, His death was for everybody before His coming, those who were then with Him and for those after Him. By so doing He had to tell and He told, He died to conquer, DEATH, HELL AND THE GRAVE. This is why His death was as hard as it was. This is why He asked His Father to remove the bitter cup. This is why He told His Father: It is for Thy will. All of this was for your spirit to live and not die the second death. repast consisting of chicken salad sandwiches, cheese sticks, assorted cookies, coffee.

And He was numbered withthe transgressors" (Markls:2B). The progressive fulfillment of this passage from Isaiah 53 is the amaz ing story of our Lord's three bap tisms. Firsts this prophecy must be ap plied to our Lord's incarnation. Born a babe at Bethlehem. He was bap tized intothe human race,becoming, not merely one with us. but one of us, a true human being, though still also "very God." This is how He was first "numbered with the trans gressors." Later the Lord was baptized again, this time with water, by John the Baptist. John's baptism was unto "repentance for the remission of sins" and those who responded came to his baptism "confessing their sins" (Mark 1:4,5). Little won der that John at first refused to baptize this sinless One. saying: "I have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me?" But the Lord insisted, saying: "Thus it be cometh us to fulfill all righteous ness" (Matt. 3:13-15). Thus our Lord joined repentant sinners in baptism and was. in this practical I 1880 White Rock Baptist Church Loreoao A. Lynch, Minister 8400 FAYETTEVILLE STREET Sunday, March 20,1972 9:30 A.M. CHURCH SCHOOL j 10:55 A.M. WORSHIP SERMON The Paiter way, "numbered with the trans gressors." But after His baptism into the human race and His subsequent baptism with water, our Lord spoke of a third baptism, saying: "I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened (Lit., "What a spot I am in") till it be accom plished!" (Luke 12:50). This third baptism was, of course, His death at Calvary, where He was baptized into God's judgement upon sin in order that He might save us from it. Finally, then, Isaiah 53:28 was fulfilled, for it is in connection with His death at Calvary that Mark 15:27.28 says: "And with Him they crucify two thieves, the one on His right hand, and the other on His left. And the Scripture was fulfil lea which saith. And He was numberec with the transgressors." It is a touching thing to realize that our Lord from heaven shoulc deign to identify Himself with us even to taking our sins upon Him self. Now, as we respond, trust Hirr as our Savior and accept eternal life as the gift of God (Rom. 6:23), we become one with Him (I Cor. 12:13,27).
