Nineteen-seventy-five
finds mankind facing as
never before the harsh fact
that its problems are truly
global and that global
problems demand global
solutions; nothing less.
"Science News" magazine
says that the internationally
known group of scientists,
and industrialists called the
"Club of Rome" describes
the situation as "unique.".
Why? Because past crises
were usually local, but
today 'only a global solution
is now adequate,' and
whereas there' was' time to
search out solutions to
previous problems, 'only
rapid action will now
suffice.' . v
In similar vein, editorial
writer Anthony Lewis says:
"The fear that something
fundamental is changing in
the relationship of man and
nature, the concern that

X Dear friends,
A man told us of attending the funeral
of his friend's father. Later the friend said
to him, "It may sound strange to use the
word happy, but there really was a kind of
happiness in seeing you - nothing to do
with being comforted, it was just that I was
so glad you were there." He added, "I've
been to many funerals, but I never knew
until now how important it was to go.
Respectfully,

A RECONCILING
PEOPLE
v (2 Corinthiam 5:16-21;
Galatiant 6:1-7
William Temple spoke of
the church as "the one great
ground of hope. As though in
preparation for such a time
as this, God has been
building us a Christian
fellowhsip which now
extends into almost every
nation, and binds citizens of
them all together in unity
and mutual love... It is the
great new fact of our time...
Here is one great ground of
hope for the coming days."
Our Bible lesson begins
today where it ought to
begin - with Christ.
Reconciliation and Christ,
2 Corinthians 5: 16 -18
It is doubtful that the
apostle Paul ever saw Jesus
in the flesh. If he had seen
Him in the flesh, it is indeed
strange that he never
mentions it in his writings.
Had Paul seen Christ in the
flesh it would have been of
little signifiance to him
before his conversion
experience. Jesus would
have been only another Jew
to Saul of Tarsus. Saul
would likely not have been
deeply impressed had he
seen Jesus dying on the
cross. For, you see, he then
regarded Christ from a
human point of view.
This is no longer the case
because Christ has made all
the difference in the world in
Paul's life. Christ turned
him completely around. In
fact Paul describes his
experience in verse 17, "If
any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature: old things are
passed away; behold all
things become new."
Man was at outs with God.
He was God's creation but
he was also God's enemy.
But God has reconciled man
unto Himself. God did this
through His Son Jesus

Christ. So we see that Christ
is the very heart of this
matter of reconciliation.
Now man can be at one with
his creator because of the
blood of the cross.
Reconciliation and Concern,
Corinthians 5:19-21
To say that God was in
Christ reconciling the world
unto Himself is another way
of saying that God so loved
the world... God saw the lost
world and because of His
great love and concern He
paid the terrible price to
bring the world unto
Himself. The Bible never
says, nor does it need to say ,
that God was reconciled to
man. God has always loved
man. The death of Christ
was not to remove God's
hostility toward man. As
man looks at God's Son on
the cross this ought to
induce repentance, faith
and confession in the
sinner's heart. When this is
done the greatest
transformation on earth
takes place. God performs a
heart transplant. The sinner
becomes a saint. The child
of Satan becomes a child ot
God. Man becomes a new
creation in Christ Jesus.
It was not the purpose of
Christ to come into the
world to condemn the world.
His desire was to open the
way for man's justification.
He willed that man's sins be
forgiven and buried in the
sea of God's forgetfulness,
never to be remembered
against him anymore.
Paul goes on to say that
God in Christ has committed
unto us the ministry of
reconciliation. The one who
was God's enemy is to
become God's message
bearer. Those of us who
were once against God have
now been appointed as His
ambassadors.
Because of our concern
for the lost "we pray you in
Christ's stead, be ye

reconciled to God." "God
made Christ to be sin for
us." This means that Christ
bore in His own being the
judgment for man's sin.
This was done that man
might receive God's
righteousness of his own. He
needs to accept God's
righteousness which comes
through Jesus Christ.
Reconciliation and Conduct,
Galations 6:1-7
Galatians is addressed to
Christians in the churches of
Galatia. Christians - are
sometimes overtaken in
some trespass. What is to be
the conduct of other
Christians? Paul's answer is
that the one who has fallen
laside should be restored. As
a surgeon would set a
broken limb so those who
are stronger spiritually
ought to restore the broken
member. This must be done
"in the spirit of meekness."
This is always a very
sensitive and delicate
ministry.
Some members of Christ's
body are bearing very
heavy burdens. Others
should get under the weight
with them. It is so easy to
think we are the only person
who counts! Verse 4 speaks
of the individual
responsibility of the
Christian. Let us not expect
someone else to carry our
load for us. Verse 6 means
that those who teach the
world should share in the
things (probably material
goods) of those who are
taught.
The law of the harvest is
stated plainly "Be not
deceived; God is not
mocked; for whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he
also reap."

It is a Greek word which
means an uncovering of
something which is hidden.
It is the making known of
something that man could
not find out for himself. The
book is the revelation of
Jesus Christ.
