Our Lord’s appearance to
Saul of Tarsus oater called
Paul) on the road to Damas
cus, changed the pitiless perse
cutor in a moment into the do
cile, yes the devoted follower
of the Christ he had so bitterly
hated.
This transformation took
place not only because he had
now seen the risen, ascended
Christ; it was caused also by
what he had learned from
Christ. From heaven the Lord
had revealed to Paul the glory
of His finished work of re
demption and had sent him forth
to proclaim "the gospel of the
grace of God” (Acts 20;24).
This is seen in the closing
words of (he apostle’s first re
corded sermon, delivered at the
synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia.
After mentioning the death and

unto you the forgiveness of sins;

lieve are justified from all
things, from which ye could not
be justified by the law of Mos

JUSTIFIED BY THE LAW OF
MOSES” (Acts 13:38,39).
Paul never changed this
message, but kept emphasizing
it wherever he went as well
as in his writings. He saw in
this revelation of truth the ans
wer to man’s condemnation for
breaking God’s holy law. Thus
he wrote to the Romans:
“...By the law is the know
ledge of sin.
"But now the righteousness
of God without the law is mani
fested.”
"We declare... Christ’s
righteousness; that God might
be just and the Justifier of him
which believeth in Jesus” (Rom.
3:20.21, 26).

MEDITATION
A SERMONETTE
BY COLIN DOUGLAS
"My Father worketh even
until now, and I work.” - John ’
5:17.
Have you ever stopped to
think that God needs you, even
as you need Him? He needs
you, for without you, He has
one less channel for the inflow
and outflow of His love. There
fore, you are important to God
as important as you permit
yourself to be.
If you feel bound by a sense
of inferiority and limitation,
you may wonder how you can
be Important to God, and how
you can ever be a channel for
the outworking of His good.
Prayer is the means by which
you develop strength and power
to over come the limitations
you have placed upon yourself.
Greed, fear, anger, and habits
that have previously bound you
are overcome as you realize
the truth about yourself.
In God you live, and move,
and have your being. As you
permit yourself to be one of
God’s own channels through
which His love and wisdom flow
forth, you are strengthened
both physically and mentally
and are able to meet every
situation, every condition, ev
ery problem, with poise and ef
ficiency.
Wherever we may find our
selves, even if to all appear
ances we stand alone, we can
know that our Father is with us.
with this abiding realization of
His never-failing presence and
power, we stand serene, secure,
and confident. In the midst ol
seeming confusion we can re
lease any feeling of tension or
anxiety by keeping our faith
centered in the indwelling Fath
er. W'ith the trust of a little
child, we released all fear and
rely on our Father who is in
complete charge of our world
and our affairs,
“For God hath not given us
the spirit of fear; but of pow
er, and of love, and of a sound
mind.” II Tim. 1:7.
