Irur A K.®n©aiSjffl Sunday Schcrf Lgatum Batojroead Beriptsrei Isaiah Mi Jeei Jeremiah 33:14-18. Promises as God mmw»——mm» Leaaon far Angwat n. 1»55 MANY Christiano today become confused when they read the ( prophecies of the Old Testament. They do not seem to be either plain or profitable, because they are written in a strange style and the reader has no way of knowing, without help. Just MEBEPMI where and why ; and when and to whom these words were first spoken or written. This - g column is much to » short a space for ’K straightening out the tangles in even I ' ' ene chapter. The thing to bear In Hr. Foreman mind is that there M enough ta Scripture th at is pla in to any man, enough to give him all he needs to know about Oed and his will for us. This column this week will consider one general thought: the promises es God, at they are found to the paged el too prophets particularly. Tie Prophet The promises of God are never made directly, as by a loudspeaker , in the sky. The same promise may be made to many persons; but not all at once. The message first takes shape under the skull of one man. a holy, sensitive man, with spiritual insight, generally with great courage and persistence: in short, a prophet We do not know tor certain just what toe process is by which a divine truth gets into the human mind of the prophet; but when first the divine truth enters the human sphere, it comes as an idea, a thought, in some prophet's mind. Sometimes more than one prophet may say toe same thing, as when Isaiah, Jeremiah and Exekiel were all predicting the return of the Jews to Jerusalem. Sometimes the prophet stands entirely alone. But the prophet is like the lookout in toe crow's nest of a ship, sighting the dim landfall before any one on deck ean see IL The Bmeite* Sometimes the signal the propnefs keen spirit caught from on high spelled disaster; sometimes ! it was like ••news behind news,” a commentary on the why of i events in past or present But ! often, indeed more often toan anything else, the message of the prophet is a promise. You ean sum up all toe promises there are into one sentence: God is * good; he desires toe good of all his children; and he will bring good to pass. One writer in toe New Testament suggests that the prophets did not always understand their own messages; they were like radio receivers crossed by static. Be that as it may, we know from reading toe Gospels that the people who read toe prophets, even the professional interpreters, did not always understand what they read. The promises were set in obscure language, often in poetry. One feature however is dear. The focus and center of the prophet’s hope and dream was toe Messiah. It is true, their descriptions were so misread that when Jesus Christ came, most of hie fellow-countrymen, measuring him by the literal words of these promises, did not recognize him. But there were those who did. The Christian dis- • covers that all toe best good that 1 God desires for his children is summed up in Christ and what he does tor men. The Present What can a Christian today do with the promises passed on by the prophets? Some of them refer no doubt to events long since past, as when Ezekid and Jeremiah predict the destruction of Babylon. The Christian can take such promises to support his faith that God does rule in the history of men; that bls decrees are certain, his foreknowledge sure. Some of the promises are still unfulfilled, as when a prophet predicts the uttei destruction of evil from this earth and the coming of a time of universal peace. A Christian can Uv« by such hope even when (just as in the prophet's own days) th» hope seems out of reach entirely. Where the prophet speaks of God'i Servant the Coming One, we cax use such promises to deepen oui understanding of what Christ it to mean to the world. But every once in a while, in reading ths prophets, one discovers that spam past present and future. It was t promise made good tong age; 1! idD come true in centuries t« come; ft. is true this present hour Such a promise is to be found tor instance, in Isaiah 55:6-7. L— An error graciously acknowledged is a victory won. A good xeample is the best eermon.

Meadows May I urge You one and all to take your pari strenuously and seriously in the project* that lie before us, so that your church may do better work for the Master than they have ever done before? In uus world of ours there are many organizations intent upon the one mission, the betterment of mankind. Among all of them there is none that strives so hard to get men to live better lives than the church of the living God. The church maintains and establishes the highest standards of righteousness and purity. She builds surely and securely because she builds on the firm and lasting foundation, Jesus Christ and Him crucified. This community is where you live, here it is your children are being reared, and where their ideals and standards of living are being moulded and formed. You have a great task and responsibility before you. Yours is the task of caring for your souls, your children's souls and those of your neighbors who know Him not that precious souls might be won for Christ. Therefore, be firm in the right maintain your convictions, hold fast to the Crucified One. Help build the church triumphant, and grow not weary in well doing. Seek even the glory and honor of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us then in the strength of God, serve Christ more unselfishly in our dally living and doing. Let us live for more than ourselves, give the church our willing support, praying for it, attending its services and God will repay us. He has promised, and His promises never fall.
