Better Revelation Lesson for October 5, 1947 WITH Sunday’s lesson we turn into another field of Bible study for the concluding quarter of the year—messages from the Epistles, other than those of Paul. This lesson, and the next two, are from the Epistle to the Hebrews—

one of my favorite books in the Bible. The passages of study for this lesson are Hebrews I—2; 8:6-13; with kindred passages in Matthew 3:16, 17 and John 14:5-11. Sugi gested devotional i reading for the les--1 son is Psalms 40: 1-8. The title of the lesson has refer-

ence, of course, to Christ—the better revelation of the Son of God in his appearance to bring the father’s plan of redemption nigh unto all men. • • • The Father’s Son <ipOD, who at sundry times and VJT in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds,” chapter 1, verses 1 and 2. “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water; and, 10, the heavens w6re opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him; and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased,” Matthew 3:16, 17. Could there be a more beautiful and impressive manifestation of God’s acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as his son? • * • Love Is the Key TN THIS better revelation of Jesus A Christ, we find that love is the key that opens the door into the brightly lighted room. “The father loved the son, and hath given all things into his hand,” John 3:35. Love is the key. It is ever so with all the revelations which God makes of himself to his trusting children. And this revelation of God in Jesus Christ carries the further truth that “all things” have been placed in the hands of our blessed Saviour. We read elsewhere that "all things consist in him,” which means that all things hold together in him—the world itself. Jesuf’j said, “All power hath been giy>n unto me, in heaven and on eai/h.” It is not a picture of passive love, but a picture of perfect low jn action, with all things comvdtted to his administration. Agag) we can sing, “This is our fathe/ _’ s world.” •. . / f’hrist Reveals God/ only does Christ reveal himJ self, but also tl»e father, for they are one. Readirjg now into the second chapter of Hejbrews, we find these words: '"God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wor.ders, and with divers miracles, arid gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.” It is Q od’s own will that he be reveatc-n, and he must do the revealing. Turn to Jahn 14:5-11, where we read again that revealing i/.cident when Jesus patiently rea/sured Thomas and Philip, de-cly-ing “He that hath seen me ll? th seen the father.” ■' The better revelation of God In Jesus Christ brings us far beyond the revelations of God in the Old Testament, dramatic and impressive as they were. * * ’/ A New Covenant *-j-' IE better revelation means “a s more excellent ministry,” because Jesus Christ has now become “the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises,” Hebrews 8:6. The first covenant was imperfect, because it was manifest through humanity. Only the perfect son of the perfect God could manifest the better covenant. Jeremiah foresaw the better covenant. See Jteremiah 31: 31-34. Now that the better revelation is our portion, what shall be our response? One cannot be excused today by claiming ignorance t»f God’s proffered salvation unto all men. He Las revealed his love in the death of his only begotten son on the cross. He has revealr-d his love in abounding and forbearing mercies. "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?” f Copyright by the Iztarzst/oail Cotuuil 1 e‘ Religious tdacafiaa oa. behalf of 40 j! Protettasa RrisaaeJ Sy WHO Features.) er J

Continue Testimony In Hemmer's Trial i Former State Penal Farm Head On Trial — Greencastle, Ind., Oct. 3—(UP) —Testimony by state witnesses today continued to center around ] checks allegedly written by Floyd J. Hemmer, former state penal 1 farm superintendent who is on trial here on charges of embezzlement.
