BaakrraaaS Serlptarai Genesta 1J; 1 U:t—»:». BtaaUaaal RaaSlasi Luke 11:1-11 In a Bad World Lessen for May 19,1957 THIS world we’re in may be a bad one, but it never gets so bad we can’t pray. The worse it is, the more reason to pray. There Is a story tn the Bible which shows a good man at prayer in an evil world. There are many such stories In the Bible, to be sure. Ths one which has been selected tor our

study is that of | Abraham plead- ; Ing tor the cities j of Sodom and Go- ; morrah. No mao ■ of his time was ’ better than Abra- ! ham. No city of ( those times was worse than Sodom I and Gomorrah. I Yet this good man

prayed for those wicked cities. There have always been puzzlers in this story, but they are not the main point That point has nothing to do with such questions as "How can God eat hot bread and veal roast?" or "How could Abraham see God if it is true (see John 1:1JJ) that no man has seen God at any time? The point of the story, for us. Is the kind of prayer a good man can offer, in and for an evil world.

Raallsfio First of all. Abrrham’s prayer shows that he had no illusions about Sodom and Gomorrah. They were cities which he preferred to stay away from, cities notorious tor wickedness unashamed. We do not know how many thousand persons there may have been in Sodom, but Abraham ventures to think that in the whole city there may perhaps be 50 righteous persons. Abraham s series of prayers in which he begs the Lord to spare the city for the sake of fifty—then 45—40—30—20— 10 good people, is often taken as a sign of Abraham's growing faith in God. But it can just as well stand for Abraham’s decreasing faith in Sodom. At the end, he would not dare ask God to spare the city for "twenty’s sake,”—it is plain that he was very doubtful that there might be even that number of good citizens. Children may pray as if there were no evil in the world; but grown men even in their prayers., must realize what kind of world they live in. Our Lord’s Prayer mentions temptation and evil as real and dangerous, even for good men. BM6NM Abraham’s prayer Is not only realistic, it is generous. Readers of the Bible will remember Jesus’ story of the Pharisee who in his prayer recalled the publican—no model citizen. But to the Pharisee the publican was not a man to be prayed for, only a man to be despised. Now Abraham was far better than the citizens of Sodom, if they were good at all. which seems doubtful; and he was better too than his relative. Lot, for whose sake he was chiefly praying. But he prays for them all the same. His prayer is of the highest sort—not for himself at all, but for others. The reader can test his religion by the kind of prayer he offers. One can ask oneself: How often do I pray tor myself and how often tor others? When I do pray for others, is it for good people only? Are my prayers an expression of selfishness, or can I offer generous prayers? How long has it been since I prayed for any one I didn't really like? Daring Abraham’s prayer is humble; but It is also daring. Most of our prayers are safe; Abraham realizes that his is risky. It almost involves throwing a challenge to God: Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? This man realizes that he may actually be .praying against God’s will. He may be praying for the wrong thing entirely. But that does not stop him. He dares to believe that God was interested in a very small minority of good people He dares to pray beyond his hopes, beyond his knowledge... but not beyond God. The God in whom Abraham believed, the God Abraham knew, was not like men. He did not —and he does not—share man's prejudices, man’s pride. A man, even a good man. prides himself on not helping the unworthy; but God's mercy is untainted by conceit Do we dare believe that God is just? Do we dare believe he will do the fair thing, or do we try to argue him into doing what we want even if it is not quite fair? Do we dare believe that God is merciful? or to pray tor those who will not pray for themselves? Do we pray only for sure things, or do we dare go so tar as to pray even when we tear that we may be asking too much? Can we stand and take God's No (as Abraham had to) and still bold our faith in Him? (BaaaS aalllaaa ••»rrt<kt»S by the DWlalaa as W* U.aal Caenell •« tka Cbarabea at Cbrl.i ha tka 0. A.

Be Loyal To Your Church Hev. J.

FRIDAY, MAY 17. 1957

God's work better in the past, if we had been more interested in doing His will and shown more loving kindness to His Church; the present calamities would not have engulfed us. Above all. a half empty church on the Lord’s Day morning is an insult to the majesty and love of God and the Cross of Christ. What is there that we ought to do that the duty of church attendance should be left undone! Wake up! Soldiers of the Cross! Do your whole duty, not half of it. “These ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE "While it is said, To day if. ye hear His voice, harden not your heart as in the provocation.” — Hebrews 3:15.
