Free-Then What?
Lesson for June 21, 1953
'X'WO kinds of people pay little
attention to law. One kind is
made of very bad citizens, so bad
that sometimes they lose their cit
izenship. The other kind is made
up of those who are the best cit
izens. Sometimes they even re
ceive medals or other honors from
their communities or from the
state. How can this be?
The answer is that the first kind
live far below the law; the sec
ond kind live far above it. Crim
inals and crooks are lawless be
cause they are anti-social, they
are enerpies of so
ciety and do not
want to be a part
of the community.
But the other kind
of people go far
beyond the law, as
we saw last week.
The best husbands
probably do not
know what the
laws are which
govern husbands’ Foreman
treatment of their wives. The best
fathers may not know what the
statutes are which prescribe the
duties of parents. These husbands
and fathers are far better than any
law could make them.
* • * •
Law In One Word
AU this is true of the law of God,
too. His laws are not a precise
number of statutes and ordinances.
His laws are not a code like a fed
eral code or a municipal code. The
entire law of God is summed up,
Paul says, in one word, that is:
Love. Now Paul would not for a
moment deny that we ought to
love God supremely. But here he
is thinking about loving one’s
neighbor as oneself. No law, no
shelf-full of statute books, no en
cyclopedia of decisions by the Su
preme Court, can cover all cases.
But love does cover all cases. You
cannot always teU what the law
says in a given case. Maybe the
law says nothing at all. But love
always has something to say. Love
always has an answer.
* • •
We Know Love
Even if you do not know what the
law is, you always know what love
is. Because we do know, naturally
and always, what it is to love our
selves. Loving yourself means
keeping yoiu- own interests at
heart, giving yourself the benefit
of the doubt.
The divine law of love is: Be
just as much interested in others
as you are in yourself. Be willing
to take trouble for them, watch
out for them, give them the bene
fit of the doubt, think ahead for
them. When St. Paul talks about
Christians being free, he does not
mean being free from love, but
for love. What is it that ties us
down and keeps us from loving our
neighbor? Isn’t it our love for our
selves? The Christian way of life
is to be free from our own de
mands so as to be free to serve
others.

GOD’S MASTERPIECE ?
The rose comes very close to man’s standard of
perfection. Its delicate beauty ,seems to mock
every effort of the artist or camera to capture it.
But is
Hardly!
the rose really God’s masterpiece?
For its beauty is passive. It brightens life only
for those who seek it out and gaze upon it. And
in but a few days it withers and is ugly.
God’s masterpiece is MAN. For with all his
waywardness and selfishness, Man is capable of
reflecting the love of God. When he lets God
touch his life he is able to bring happiness and
faith to others. He doesn’t have to wait until
he is_ noticed.^ He can actively bring spiritual
blessings to his fellow men.
As the gardener cultivates the rose, the
Church cultivates the lives of men. Always it
strives to hejp us become all that God wants
us to be.

When The Bible Does
Not Speak
Some people think of the Bible
as a kind of rule-book. Well, there
are rules in it, and some of them
are applicable to our modem prob
lems. But we have some problems
in modern living that the Bible
says nothing about. For instance:
Shall a Christian use tobacco? Is
it a sin for the Christian to bear
arms? These and many other ques
tions are not dealt with in the Bible
as flatly and sharply as “Thou
shalt not steal.’’ For this reason,
many Christians think that if the
Bible does not mention some prob
lem in so many words, they are
free to do as they please about it.
By no means. The Christian is
free from the law as a curse, as a
condition of God’s favor, or as a
cage; but he is never free from
the law of love. And since God is
love, and since love is the law of
our life as Christians, then the
Bible always does have something
to say about every situation. It has
at least this to say: What does love
—God’s kind of love—suggest?,
« « «
Freedom And The Spirit
Some Christians have made* the
mistake of thinking that if a per
son is spiritual enough, he will be
set free from all human obliga
tions. They have supposed that the
law of love, in the sense of love
to one’s neighbor, is on a lower
plane somehow than love of God;
and that if a man once gets up in
the stratosphere of the divine love,
then he can simply forget the
world outright. No one who takes
his New Testament seriously can
make that mistake. Read in Gal.
5:22-25 Paul’s list of the fruits of
the Spirit. These -are not ripened
in solitude, but in company with
others and in their service.
