GOD THE COMFORTER
"I will pray the Father, and he shall give ftm another
Comforter, that he may be with you forevtt.
Jonn 14:16
Wonder and awe are among the earliest responses of the
soul to the appeal of the Infinite; they remain among the
latest. We have seen in the clear and happy eyes of a child
just beginning to note here and there some great feature of
our strange world, the sense of fascination and mysteiy as it
looked up into the infmite spaces; and we have seen in the
dim and sorrowful vision of age the image of the same
feeling. The thing that forever fascinates and baffles, that
draws us on to inquire into it, and that covers us with the
shadow of a vast dread, is this solemn, beautiful, mysterious
uolverse. We wrestle with it in the darlfness, we call to it,
“Tell me thy name”; the morning comes, the mystery with
which we have wrestled eludes us, and we are left blessed, it
may be, but bruised. The manna in the wilderness was not
understood; its name was a question. What is it? - that was
the cry of the people as they beheld this desert wonder.
They could not account for it, it remained an enigma;
therefore, they named it, What is it? If we consult our
sincerest and deepest thoughts about the universe, we shall
find them mainly interrogations. The sum of things in
heaven above and on earth beneath, other than man, the
total life of the race in the present and in the past, and the
power by which this wondrous whole is pervaded, we call
the universe, and the most inmost meaning of the name is,
What is it? Like the manna, it is sweet and it supports life;
but the final and full account of it we are unable to give.
The first act of worship, the act that includes all serious and
noble men, is the worship of the Inscrutable.
This mood, however, does not remain unfruitful. Men
investigate and think; they live ai.J reach conclusions; they
come to look at the universe in a great variety of ways. To
one man it seems a heart matter; all thought, all feeling,
and all character are incidental; the substance of the uni
verse is physical, it is an ever changing physical show, with
here and there a strain of thought and feeling, like the band
that now and then plays in the grim hour of battle. To
another it is force; to still another law; to yet another fate.
The force is there, its ways are fixed, and it is operated by a
necessity- Wi d, dumb, eternal.
Christianitj is indeed the religion of the morally victori
ous soul; it is in an emphatic sense the religion of righte
ousness. It calls for the new heaven and the new earth; it
gives the vision of the righteous God, and it lays upon those
who entertain this vision the obligation to reform human
society. To call to serve, to achieve, is the trumpet call of
the gospel. Christianity has the utmost fascination for the
morally capable, for all those who are conscious of achiev
ing power, who exult in the sense of a sound and an aspir
ing humanity, whose reforming instinct rises to passion, and
who delight in life because it holds within itself the energy
that would renew the world.
We must never forget that religion has always begun
here. The religion of Moses was a religion of righteousness.
Here was his race in bondage, that bondage was an outrage
upon their humanity, an injustice that cried to heaven. The
religion of Moses began in the vision of the righteous God
and in the passion or reform under that vision. Amos,
Isaiah, Jeremiah, every great soul in the history of Israel,
followed in the footsteps of Moses. John the Baptist, when
he came, repeated the same sublime experience; religion
was the vision of the righteous God, and the obligation
under the vision to renew the world. Christianity is here
only another and a vaster version of the same thing; its
initial words are: *Seek first God’s kingdom and his righte
ousness, The sublimity of its vision of God made obsolete
the earlier visions; it fascinated the elect youth of the time
of Jesus; it fascinated Stephen and Paul; it has exercised a
resistless charm over the highest spirits in every succeed
ing generation. Christianity is first of all an appeal to the
morally fit.
It is the religion of reconciliation. It is more. It is the
religion of comfort. There is surely comfort in the vision of
the righteous God and the passion for refonji set free in
human hearts under that vision.
