The Polish paper Thursday began running the majority of its copy in English and prepared to distribute throughout the city today. . jr . '

Devellanal Reading: Mark 10:36-49 His Demands Lesson for December 4, 1955 I /CHRISTIAN living is not a matter of vague general good will A character in a movie remarked: “I'm not a mean man. If I heard that my neighbor’s children had ; been eaten by wolves, I would feel some regret.” Well, of course that didn’t make him a Christian. (He turned out to be the villain, by the way.) But there seems to be a . RgpP* number of church '■F members and oth- PR; ers who think that Sft *1 I being a Christian , 3 calls for nothing wfr* ,f J more than being generally at peace jO with the world . . . like a turnip. Be- , tag a Christian is »*• Foreman a far more demanding thing. And the demands are Christ's dedemands. is not a trademark, ’ a portrait of a Founder beaming on us benevolently from the wait 1 He is the living Christ, Son of Man and Son of God. He makes demands on his disciples, and he I has a right to make them. I Discipleship Those who were closest to Jesus • in Galilee, those with whom he; took the greatest pains, wire. called Disciples. Now the least I that “disciple” can mean is t “learner.” The first demand thatChrist makes on us who would call - ourselves Christians, the demand •, preliminary to all others, is that* we learn of him. We never should I, assume that we know all about t Jesus—his character, his teach-J tag, his purpose. It is a sobering r question: How much of our be- • havior, our attitudes, our think-» tag in various fields, our relation- { ships with other people — how 1 much of this did we learn from* Jesus, and how much did we copy * from other persons, and how much.* is our own invention? • Decision e Another demand Christ makes • of. us is decision. This in three ; ways: decision for him, decision « about him, decision with him. Itj • is specially these last two that are ’ highlighted in this week’s pasS sages from Luke. The decision for Christ is the point at which one begins to be a disciple. But be> sides learning, the Christian disciple has to decide, and act accordingly, about some questions that affect him vitally. One is the decision about Christ which Jesus pushed on his disciples. “Who do you say that I am?” Jesus put this question only after they had [ been disciples for some time. (Why?) But it can be answered at | any time, and it must be answered | some time, if we have any title •to the name “Christian.” How | seriously do we take Jesus Christ? ‘ That depends on what answer we I give to his question: What do we | think of him? Who and what is [ he? The more fully we know his ; importance, the more seriously I we shall take him. Is he a dreamI er, a poet, an impractical ideal- > Ist? Is he a child of his age, im- ; portant then, but now such a man ; as we can safely neglect? Is he a I noble thinker, a stirring leader of I men? Or is he, as Peter dared to I believe, the Son of the living God? j Does he come to us with the I authority of one man’s opinion, of does he speak as an ancient ' sage, or does he speak with the ■ wisdom of the Almighty? He demands a decision. Denial of Self * Now if we have answered the first two demands, for discipleship and for decision, we may be ready for the third demand. (This is the decision with him, spoken of just now.) We shall pay very little attention to this if we have not rightly met the other two. If we are not true learners we shall not even hear this, or we* shall misunderstand it. If we think less of Christ than we ought to think, then this demand will seem egotistic, unreasonable, suicidal It is only the Son of God who has the right to make such a demand. It is for nothing less than denial of self. There is a cheap substitute for this which is sometimes mistaken for it. It is called “self-de-nial” and may mean no more than going without ice cream for a while, doing without some luxury or other. Denial of self is something different entirely, Jesus puts it in terms of a crucifixion. To take up a cross was to be already on the last mile. To deny the self means to cease being one’s own center-of-the-universe. It means “love thyself last” It means dying to oneself, as Paul put it and living to God. It means “Not I, but Christ liveth in me.” God can do nothing for us unless we let him. Evil has no ppwer without that which we give it in our lives.
