lnt«rrMt>on«l Undorr. Sunday School Laaaont Serlftar*: Galatians s—4. Derations! Readinc: Galatians 6:1-10. I Free-Then What? I i = Lesson for June 21, 1953 TWO kinds of people pay little attention to law. One kind is made of very bad citizens, so bad that sometimes they lose their citizenship. The other kind is made up of those who are the best citizens. Sometimes they even receive medals or other honors from their communities or from the state. How can this be? The answer is that the first kind live far below tjhe law; the second kind live far above it. Criminals and crooks are lawless because they are anti-social, they
if' Dr. Foreman
are enemies of society and do not want to be a part of the community. But the other kind of people go far beyond the law, as we saw last week. The best husbands probably do not know what the laws are which govern husbands*
treatment of their wives. The best fathers may not know what the statutes are which prescribe the duties of parents. These husbands and fathers are far better than any law could make them. • • • Law In One Word All this is true of the law of God, too.\ His laws are not a precise number of statutes ahd ordinances. His laws are not a code like a federal code ot a municipal code. The entire law of God is summed up, Paul says, in one word, that is: Love. Now Paul would not,tor a moment deny that we ought to love God supremely. But here he is thinking about loving one’s neighbor as opeself. No law, nc shelf-full of statute books, no encyclopedia of decisions by the Supreme Court, can cover all cases. But love does cover all cases. You cannot always tell what the law says in a given case. Maybe the law says nothing at all. But love always has something to say. Love always has an answer. * ■ • -’p We Know Lnvo tven if you do not know what the law is, you always know what love is. Because 'we do know, naturally and always, what it is to love ourselves. Loving yourself means keeping your own interests at heart, giving yourself the benefit of the doubt. The divine law of love is: Be just as much interested in others as you are in yourself. Be willing to trouble for them, watch out for them, give them the benefit of the doubt, think ahead for them. When St; Paul talks about Christians being free, he does not mean being free from love, but for love. What is it that ties us down and keeps us from loving our neighbor? Isn't it our love for ourselves? The Christian way of life is to be free frlm our own demands so as to oe free to serve dthers. V ; " When The Bible J)oes Not Speak Some people think of the Bible as a kind of rule-book. Well, there are rules in it, and some of them Rte applicable to our modem problems. But we have some problems in modern living that the Bible jays nothing about. For instance: Shall a Christian use tobacco? Is It a sin for the Christian to bear arms? These and many other questions are not dealt with in the Bible as flatly and sharply as “Thou shaft not steal.” For this reason, many Christians think that if the Bible does not mention some problem in so many words, they are fgee to do as they please about it. By no means. The Christian is free from the law as a curse, as a condition of God’s favor, or as a cage; but he is never free from the law of love. And since God is love, and since is the law of our life as Christiarts, then the Bible always does have something to say about every situation. It has at least this to say: What does —God’s kind of love—suggest? > •• • • Freedom And The Spirit Some Christians have made the mistake of thinking that If a person is spiritual enough, be will be set free from all human obligations. They have supposed that the law of lovS, in the sense of love to one’s neighbor, is on a lower' plane somehow than love of God; and that if a man once gets up in the stratosphere of the divine love, then he can simply forget the world outright. No one who takes hjs New Testament seriously dan make that mistake. Read in Gal. 5:22-25 Paul’s list of the fruits of the Spirit. These are hot ripened in solitude, but in company hrith rihrtrs and in their service. 1 It is a great thing to know a trifle when you meet it, I A mart’s tru& wealth is the good Ub do&s. *

Leaders Will Meet To Commemorate Aaronsburg Storyf \ AARONSBURG, Pa. UP— More than 100 of the nation’s ontstartding leaders gathered in this Pennsylvania Dutch farming community today to commemorate the “Aaronsburg Story" and strive to add bright new chapters to it.
