Personal Religion Lessen for December 11, 1949 Electricity wm discovered, long ago, but there are millions of people today who never uh it and don't know anything about it. Modem plumbing has been in use ever since most of us were born; but most human behus s'lll w;ilk fur I thur wat< r Instead L_, of getting it from pipes. .-Ml inven- B v.' ■ ' get ar ..'.<i I! ■ /j| s ■'' fltwl a R of the spirit. Jeremiah the prophet. Dr. Foreman it has been said, is the “man who discovered the individual." But 2700 years after his . time, the individual needs radii- 1 covering. Even in the church, some people live and act as if Jeremiah's discovery had never been made. • • • A Man Stands Alone Although jlkemiah was a priest and aristocrat by birth, hts own class disowned him. The story in Jeremiah 28 shows dramatically why this was. He predicted doom for his nation, and since his own “upper-bracket” people were the nation's leaders, they considered Jeremiah's attitude not only unpatriotic but a downright personal insult. If it had been left to the priests and the official prophets, the day of Jeremiah's sermon al the temple would have been his last. To pul It bluntly, the difference between Jeremiah and all the ether “prophets’* and priests could be put this way: Ho knew the nation was too rotten to last, but they thought It was plenty good ; enough. They probably could have agreed with him that a wicked nation deserves divine punishment; only they could see nothing wrung with Judah. • • • Religion by Proxy? THEY were mistaken many ways. , Mistake number one: They j thought the Temple, with all that went on in it. was much more im- | portant to God than it really was. i The whole business—Temple, white- I robed priests, chanting choirs, the i burning of animals, the incense and the mystic lights—it had become in their eyes a sort of immense good-luck charm. They thought: Surely God will not de- , stray a city that contains this . Temple! Rut Jeremiah saw through that mistake. Inetilutiens, rituals. organisatiena, ceremonies, u< ramenta, these are ail simply meant to an end. they have no value in themselves. Everything we call “public worship" is good only if and so iar as it lifts and cleanses the spirits of the worhipers and brings them nearer God. The most perfect and impressive ' worship, engaged in by those whose , hearts are evil, beomes a bias- * phemy A fine church is no substitute for fine people. A beautiful worship program will not conceal . from God's eye unbeautiful souls. Mistake number two: The priests 1 and prophets supposed there was j such a thing as religion by proxy. - They thought the priests by earry-• ing on their duties could taka care 1 of the situation. • • • God writes on the heart ANOTHER MISTAKE made by those poor fools of false proph- ( ets and priests was in supposing i they had the Law of God. when al) , they had was two tables of stone shut up in a box (1 Kings They were proud of those tables of stone, i they were the Commandments of . God. and they were guarded most carefully in the Holy of Holies in | the Temple Surely. God would not • destroy the city that possessed the Sacred Law! Hut Jeremiah knew better. In the long run. the only place the- Law of God does real good is when it is written on the heart. In Jeremiah’s most famees prophecy •chap Ml be testa forward to the day when God’s handwriting shall be not on tables of stone but aa taraiaa hearts. That prophecy ta being fulfilled day by day as persano tarn their hearts to the Lord and open the book of their kvee that God m»y write hto laws tte-rp. ¥« bow many people have never learned this truth! Having a groat tradition is good; owning and reading the Bible to good; tert i| to not the Bible on tbe shelf that count, not carrying a testament in |b* pocket but the Word * God “kid tn the heart" of thoee who knew, toVb and do what God desires.
