ic?=srsi nrasßl iLessonlgl Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. Living Witnesses, Matthew 5:13-16; Acts 8:4-6; 11 Corinthians 5:14-20, for Sunday, i September 28. Christianity live* or dies Just as > the followers of the Lord are good or poor Christian witnesses. Impressions must be followed by ex- : preesions if thy are to have any moral raise. Faith must be seen in activity if it is to live. Faith j : must be given away if it is to be, ■ kept A Christian who fails to be a good wtness not only is a fall- ' ure but a great hindrance to the Spread of Christianity. V.lB. "Ye are the aalt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its savour wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out M>d be trodden under the foot of men.” Salt la preservative and Christians are the preservers of society. The vest way to stop crime is to make society Christian. The best way to bsvs world peace Is to make the l world Christian. Missionary work ; results more from the witnessing of missionaries than from their preaching. Here ia a pronounced jttjdgment on a professing Christian who fails to be a fit representative of Christ V.H. "Ye are the light of the world. A city that ia eet on a hill can not be hid.” As darkness is expelled by light, eo evil te exposed by a Christian emitting the 1 rays of God’s truths all shout him. 1 Here is a call of the church to be evangelistic and execute God's plan of redemption. It is therefore the outstending organisation. V. 16. "Neither do men light a candle, and put It under a bushel, hut on a candlestick; and it giveth light to all that are in the house.” There is no -such thing as living a secret Christian life, for that . which hides It will snuff It out. • There Is danger that commercial--1 trtd 1 4tathres4'*or the pleasures of this world will exterminate the i light of the goepel. V.lB. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven." By volOur Preacher Soys: Expediency and right are contending forces in moral life. Note . how often the question "Is it ex- * pedtent?” controls life’s’ decisions ) in politics, in business, in social i life, and eyen too often .In religion.' A newsman asked President ; Eisenhower when he announced a ' certain decision. "Po. you think that ia good politics?" His answer was, “It may not be good politics, but it is. right.” God relates himself with the right; and the man, though in the minority, who stands for the right receives strength and courage not found with the man who is ruled by expediency. %he one rule of a reali ly successful life is right thinking i and right doing.

ontarily giving Christ the right Way within he shows himself as our Lord whom we gladly honor. V. 14. "Therefore they that were scattered went everywhere preaching the gospel.” Faithful Christian witnessing under persecution produced Christians. The ease in point was Samaria (vs. 5. 6). God can not and will not be defeated. Out of the present world persecution of Christians will emerge a new world. God's world. There is a Christian revolution on now which points to a better world. V. 14. "For the love of Owlet constraineth us; because we thus Judge, that K one died for all, then were all dead." Sin caused s sepI aration of the souls of all from , God, sad in this separation all died- But that gap was spanned in that the death of Christ paid the penalty of sin. To dwell on this fact products the Christian motive for witnessing to what the Lord ■has dons for us. In the following verse ie eeen the real purpose of our living — living for him who died for us. ' V.lB. “Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh; yea, though we know Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more." The human, side of life in which Christ participated for a while is now submerged to the spiritual life in which Christ is manifested through us his witnesses. V. 17. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new.” By true conversion there ia a transformation of character. Vs. 18,13. "And all things are of God who hath reconciled to us himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation: to wit. that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." The warring elements within hare been cast out when the atoning work of Christ become* a personal fact, all of which results in peace. This truth Urges one to press peace by God’s reconciliation, a# Indicated in the following verse. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churohes of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission.
