B' »-l •nan Ba.kir...* Serl.lar.i I Cortnthl.n. IS Devauaaai Reading i I Corinthians l»:40 M. Center of Faith Lesson for November 17, 1957 WHERE is the center of Christian faith! What is it that if we don’t believe, we can hardly believe anything else? Every one would agree that the center of Christian faith is Christ The religion called by his name is not by any

CT Dr. Foreman

means first of all a philosophy, a collection of ideas, a system of thought, a set of rituals. It is first of all a Person, and then it is the lives of other persons who have been touched by this

Person. But what is central about Jesus? His virgin birth? His teaching? His cross? His character? Nowhere in the New Testament is his birth mentioned except in two Gospels, so we have no reason to say that the early Church considered his birth, or the manner of it highly important. His teaching is referred tain most epistles, but only in a rather sketchy way. We have to go back to the Gospels to find what Jesus taught Much stress was laid on the cross by the early Church, but even this takes second place. Central for the Church In the Greek New Testament tn the part outside the Gospels, —that is, the part that contains the early Christian preaching and teaching—there are 11 specific references to Christ’s cross and nine to the crucifixion—a total of twenty. On the other hand there are eight references to the resurrection of Christ, and the expression “God raised him from the dead” or equivalent phrases, will be found 32 times—a total of forty. From the data we have in our New Testa-, ments, therefore, we can say that the resurrection loomed twice as large, in the mind of the early Church, as did the crucifixion. Paul in his Corinthian letter uses. the words meaning "of first Importance” about Christ’s crucifixion •nd resurrection; but k* dwells on the resurrection at much greater length, as any reader can see for himself Central for Faith Consider what the situation would be if Christ had not risen from the dead. In the first place, we should not have had the Church. It is on record that the disciple forsook the crucified Jesus, but the risen Christ drew their strongest and undying loyalty. It was the resurrection that changed 3 band of timid men, even cowards, _ into the beginnings of a mighty army to overspread the earth. Someone asked a French statesman what it would take to start a new religion. Very simple, said the old man. Just get yourself crucified and then rise from the dead! If Christ had not risen, what would be remembered of him? Some of his teachings very likely; but there would be no essential difference between him and other teachers of the past. If Christ had not risen, we might have admired his thoughts and the way he expressed them. The risen Christ challenges more than admiration, —devotion. More than once in the New Testament the resurrection appears also as the one single event more than any other, which carried the first Christians' minds to heights of faith. His Life and Our* Men did not arrive at belief in Christ’s deity by pondering the crucifixion, rather by meditating on the resurrection. It is the resurrection that gives the crucifixion its meaning. Besides all this, ft is clear tn the New Testament that the resurrection of Christ is our best way of understanding what our own destiny will be. There is a great deal we do not understand about this. Not all the New Testament together answers all our questions. But Paul sees the Easter story as so important that if it had not happened our whole faith is vain. Furthermore, the best reason for believing that death will not make an end of Christ’s people is that death did not make an end of him. If he went on living, changed yet the same, so we may believe that after this present life is over and our work here done, we too, in ways of which only God knows the secret, wfll go on living, changed.—bearing “the image of the man of heaven”—yet still our very selves, with the weakness and the darkness gone. Imperishable and victorious, sharing bls con* quest of death. u Labor is the pries which” is set upon everything worth having. Our happiest moments are when we forget self in useful effort.
