Reading Signs Lesson for February 24. 195? ALL human beings, civilized er ** not, are used to .reading signs. Indeed all human communi* cation and life goes by sign-lan-guage. Words, printed or spoken, are signs. No word on a page looks like the thing it represents, ft is no more than a set of marks, but the wajr the marks are ar-

ranged makes meaning for all who can read. 'Expression of people's faces," gestures* road j signa, we learn to interpret be■to re we c- n read! The farmer looks for weather signs.

the fisherman and the hunter have their own signs to look for. There are few people so stupid that they see only what they see. Wantedi A Sign! When Jesus was teaching and healing in Galilee, he was doing so without any official authorization from what we would call the church. And yet he claimed to speak and work with the authority of God. The chureh officials did not take this easily. They kept pestering him: "Show us a Sign!" they said. How do we know you are right? How do we know what you say is from God? To this day there are people who are not satisfied with what God has shown us. They want to know: How do we know the Bible is true? How do we know Jesus was the Son of God? If the preacher would let himself be bitten by rattlesnakes, without getting hurt; if the stars arranged themselves in the sky so as to spell a personal message from heaven; if some modern Joshua would make the sun stand still, such people think they would find it easier to be- , Iteve. Thu Signs Ara Up Jesus steadily refused to produce any such “sign from heaven" as h« was challenged to call down. ? Twe fc ,>e.. worked miracles, but it is evident that the kind of miracles he did were not the kind of “sign” the Pharisees wanted. His mighty works were always simply and quietly done, out of sympathy with human suffering. They r were never done in dramatic, showy fashion. Never in the childLlsh way: See Me do this—don’t you think I’m Wonderful? Jesus told the Pharisees that the signs of the times were there to be read. By “times” he did not mean < years or dates. He meant what in the Old Testament usage, with which both Jesus and the Pharisees were familiar, the “times of God’s visitation," the special era of God’s visiting the earth and man for special purposes. In all of Jesus’ work and words was the claim, made outright or implied, that God was in and back of it all. The Pharisees wanted some sign that this was true, some sign olitside Jesus. But Jesus was the ’’ only sign there was. If they could not see God in him they could not see God any other way. So it is today. Jesus is still the Sign of God. WgfttMi Eyas! The Kingdom of God is at Its core a kingdom of souls, of the spirit; and the signs of its coming are spiritual. An atheist was once askdd what it would take to’make him believe in God, and his answer was, ’’Trot him out and lej me see him do something!” Well, God cannot be led around on a ■' leash But <he Is doing things all the time, for those who have eyes to see. The beauty and the order ' and grandeur of the universe speak of his power and glory. The goodness and the grace that we see in the lives of men and women speak of the creative Goodness that made such persons. Furthermore, God js at work every day, transforming lives. The great miracle is not turning stones into bread but sinners into saints. The great miracle is men and women who live above the rules and standard of ordinary mankind, men and women who already in this noisy world have fotind the melodies of heaven. When you reM in the Bible, especially in Jesus’ teaching, an invitation and challenge , to high, pure, brave living, and you think, “This Is asking toe t much, 4hls is beyond human naf*ture,” remember there are people ; who actually do live “beyond human nature” as you say. because they have been touched by the Divine. Such men and womdn are the living signs of God. (Baned .utllnen c.pyri(bte4 by th* DlvM.n dt CbrMtaa Edseall.n NsUeaal C.enell •» the Chsr.be. •» Cbrtat tn tb. U. S. A. R<t.a..d by .
