Jesus on History Lesson for March 11, 1956 HALF way through a'movie' you may see people getting up and walking out That does not necessarily mean they are disgusted with the picture. It’s Just that they came in right there in the first show. “Thia is where we came in," they say, and they don’t care to see the second half of the film twice. (Query, by the way:

If a man lived Jong enough he could see history repeat itself, they thought. The diagram which to the Greek mind best represented history would be a circle. Fly, moth or man, going around in circles will never get anywhere. History, the Greeks thought, is like Xlt moves, but it never gets here. History Goes Somewhere The Bible’s view of history is a different one. History is more like a straight line than a circle. "Straight" line is too simple. If you will read the book of Judges in the Old Testament you will find • line of history that goes uphill and down in dizzy succession. But crooked or straight, it is a line going somewhere. On a circle, you pass a given point Now, after you have passed that point are you getting farther away from it as you move, or are you getting nearer? The answer is both, of course. Now if history is a kind of circle, then If you ask the question: Are we getting farther away from barbarism, is the world getting better at all? The answer will have to be: It doesn't make any difference. We are farther from that period of barbarism through which we last passed; but we are getting closer to the next period of barbarism. History, bad and flood, will repeat itself. Now the Bible, and Jesus especially, have a different view. The; world is moving away from a past that will never happen again.; It is moving, we are moving, toward a future that has not yet happened and will happen only once. The course of history is not like a toy airplane that buzzes around and around, captive on a wire; but like a real plane that soars swiftly to its distant port History Koops Going Human history will have an end. so far as this earth is concerned, some day. (Os course no human being’s final destiny would be ended even if the whole human race were destroyed by H-bombs. But we are talking about history on this green planet.) But it is a mistake, as Jesus pointed out to jump to the conclusion that we are living in history’s last chapter. “The end will not be at once,** he said. Many times men and women have been sure they knew the end of the world was at hand; but they have always been mistaken. There is a theological seminary which was built by contributions from the churches which it serves. But there were some churches back when the seminary was built, that would not contribute. The end of the world is too close, they said, to be wasting money on brick buildings. It is never wise to refuse to build for tomorrow, for it is never wise to assume there isn't going to be • tomorrow. History is going somewhere; but it will not reach its destination “in nothing flat*' j The Goal of History ’ J Where is history going? The Christian answer is: Toward the reign of the Lord Jesus over all mankind. Jesus taught his disciples to look»forward to one event above all others: his coming again. Now the Christian church from earliest times has had various ideas about how and when Christ’s Coming will be, and what it will mean in detail But surely no Christian can accept seriously the idea that history just goes on and on, a line that has no direction and no end. God and evil are in conflict: must we believe that this war will never end? On the contrary, Christians are united in believing that what Christ bade us hope for will come true, and indeed many Christiane believe that it is beginning to come true now: namely, that God in hie own time will bring our time to an end, that soon or lata as we count it, but surely, the Son of Man, in power and glory, will be Lord of all. Man is the only animal that can be skinned more than once. God never lets any one down. Man, forgettln God. lata himself down.

With Christ You Will Triumph Rev. J. R. Meadows If you desire a life of victory you must learn that victory for you centers wholy in the Lord Jeaue Christ Himself. Yon may dwell too much on your weakness, aqd too much on the strength of your foe. You may think too much about aatan; you may over-esti-mate his power, sb others underestimate it. You may never know the life of continual victory eo long as you are obcessed with and about satan’s power. Yon must look away from him. You must be absolutely taken up with the Lord Jesus, with HU keeping power, with His conquering power, with the certainty of His victory and of your share in it. Every life needs an altar and faith for testing time, so be in the church of your choice next Sunday. and to have the victory be regular In attendance.
