Fellowship Supreme Lesson for April 6.1952 THE church of the twentieth century is taking a beating. Wa are living in one of the dark eras when the Christian church in largo parti of the world is on the retreat Ohe • sixth of the

earth’s surface, that used to be ‘called "Christian,** is now dominated by antireligious powers. There were once 8,000 missionaries in China where now there are 200, and the number is crowing fewer still. An inquiring ffllnletar

Dr. Fotmim

in Georgia recently asked a number of American church leaders whether they thought we can call the United States a "Christian" nation. Most of them said No, and most of them thought that America is at present slipping farther away from Christ. ••• \ ’ What Did the Early Church Have That We Haven’t? NOW the question is* What did the early, church have that we don’t have? Why did they succeed where we have not been succeeding? One quality which was strong in the early church, weak today, is fellowship. Let us first see what the New Testament idea of fellowship is not. It is not organization. It was not any one Big Man or Big Church or any pattern of organization that made the early church ••click.” Also, tt was not simple nearness. For many persons today, "belonging to the same church” with another person means no more than that on occasional Sundays they find themselves sitting within n few yards of each other. They do not know each other’s names, perhaps, much less take any personal interest in each other’s affairs. Furthermore, the New Testament does not hold up subscription to a creed as the main feature of fellowship. All mathematics teachers believe in the truth of algebra and geometry, but that does not make a fellowship out of mathematics teachers. So you can have several hundred or several thousand people repeating the same Creed without ever being a fellowship or eien knowing what the word means. - i ' • • • No Tinker-Toy Business thing that fellowship did mean, when it meant something, Jesus fnade very plain. It is like the life of a growing vine. You cannot think of the branches without the vine, nor of the vine without the branches. ' Carrying on the same idea,' Paul (I Cor. 12) speaks of the church as the "body” of Christ., Christian fellowship is first of all an intimate growing-in to the life of Christ, sharing the same Hfe with him. ' Yqu ean make a tinker-toy man with two arms or ho arms, you ean pull the legs and arms out and stick them in again as you like, because the tinker-toy man is not real, it is only blocks and sticks. But you cannot stick branches in and pull them out of a vine like that; much less pull legs and arms out of a living body. If the church today is weak, it is because too many individual “members” are not members of Christ. They belong to the church, statistically speaking; but they do not belong to Christ. • • • ' Belonging to One Another X NOTHER thing that fellowship ** means, grows out of this first thing. The New Testament idea—the New Testament fact—is that all Christians ate parts of one another, just as ail parts of a living thing belong io one another. It is quite true that not every one in the church then understood this, or Jesus arih Paul would not have had to speak and write as they did. But the church at large did understand it. Every church then was a kind of family, indeed often a much better family than that into which its members had first been born, j, Although each Christian was himself, indeed a pew self (“If ?ny man is in Christ, he is a new creation,” Paul said), yet in the church every one belonged to every one else, just aS in a good family. The good of one was the, happiness of all; the sorrow and trouble of one was the trouble of all; (he temptation of one gave the others an opportunity to fight (or his rescue. The chorch, when H IS the church, is the fellowship supreme, the united life, the life of God shared by those who love X Mm and oee anetber. Perhaps the best thing the Christian church today could do. Instead of getting more "members” who are not members, would be to rediscover and re-practice New Testament fellowship. Such a ehureh would begin to win victories again. ■ -L’ _ ‘ I 1 *
