Just before Christ ascended, his disciples, who were still expecting him to bring national restoration and political independence to Israel, asked him if he would restore the kingdom immediately. He replied that this was not the consideration of present or paramount importance. It was not their privilege to "know the times or the seasons," as those things were entirely with God. Christ stressed that they were not to be absorbed in counting days, but in wit nessing for him. Instead of peering into the future, they were expected to be busy witnessing for him by their words, ways, works, and warfare. For this work they neded a power beyond any provided by nature, or any which they might have acquired through their fellowship with the Lord as he had wrought and taught in their midst. Witnessing to Christ's power to save is a task incumbent upon all Christians. No greater work than this can occupy the thought, time, strength, or substance of human beings. What a tragedy that Satan has blnded the eyes of so many Christians to the tremendous privlege and responsibility the Lord has conferred upon us in commisioning us to be wit nesses! The sphere in which we are to witness is unlimited. No tribe, district, or nation is to be excluded. Our supreme business is to take the gospel to every person. This task of witnessing for Christ with our lips and our lives transcends our natural abilities, so we must have spiritual replenishment. Ability to perform this task does not lie in learning, however wide, nor in enthusiasm, however great, nor in money, numbers, prestige, or any self attainment. No amount of education, training, culture, or human achievement will ever enable or qualify any of God's people for effective witness-bearing. Apart from the Holy Spirit testimony for Christ will be ineffective. He alone can give us the power which we need for what needs to be done in the service of our Lord. The Holy Spirit must accompany and empower our witnessing for Christ if hearts and lives are to be changed. "lJt by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6). II Corinthians 5: 16-20 When one is regenerated by God's grace, he is transferred from the state of nature to the state of grace, and is made a different kind of person. He has a new perspective "old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." He also has a new pursuit he has broken away from his former evil manner of life and refuses to indulge in his previous sinful habits. . The saved person has a new-faith, joy, affection, allegiance, hope, song, and outlook on life. He sees, thinks, feels, and acts differently from what he did before he became a Christian and began living for Christ. He proves that he is a Christian by what he is, believes, thinks, says, and does. According to verse eighteen, God is the one who recon ciled us unto himself through the substitutionary death of his Son on the cross. God rightfully expects all who have been reconciled to him, and have been recreated in Christ through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, to be ministers of reconciliation. Into the hands and hearts of his children he has committed the gospel or "the word of reconciliation." The office of ambassador for Christ is one of distinguished honor and of great trust. The ambassadors of Christ are sent to deliver to others a message which they have received from the Lord Jesus. Effective ambassadors mut be devoted, faithful, and zealous Christians. Verse twenty-one sets forth three tremendous wonders. One of them is the sinless Saviour, Christ Jesus. He was sinless in his nature and in his conduct. Not one of his . enemies was ever able to point out a single flaw in his life. A second great wonder was that of a substitutionary sacrifice. "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew Darden Department Store 109-111 N. Church St. no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." Christ voluntarily took sin upon himself, and stood in the place of guilty sinners. Since God was satisfied with the . substitutionary sacrifice of Christ, we ought to be. The third wonder in this verse is that of a saved sinner. Obituaries MRS.
