What Christ Means Lesson for December 8, 1957 WHAT does America mean to you? Ask that question of a hundred Americans and you will get some lame answers, and maybe some good ones. But you would say that the truest answers are not the

lamest ones. What does Christ mean to you? Ask that question of * hundred Christians, and you will no doubt get some lame answers. But let us ask the question of one of the greatest Chris-

tians who ever lived, the Apostle PauL What Christ actually meant to him, he can mean to every Christian. His language may seem strange, but as D. G. Barnhouse says, instead of complaining about the New Testament vocabulary, wouldn't it be worth while to cultivate the experiences for which the New Testament would give us the right words? ' ■ ' _ » , “Christ Jesus Ha* Midi Ma His Own” The first and central point Is, in Paul’s words (we follow the RSV translation), “Christ Jesus has made me his own.” We turn the thing around too much. We speak of "decisions for Christ.” Paul had indeed decided for Christ; but that was neve|’ for him the main point. Christ had decided for him! He belonged to Christ by Christ’s choice first: intimately, inseparably. With this go two other points. One (as Paul puts it) is the eager desire that "I may ... be found in Him.” This meant that when God looked at Paul, Paul hoped God would see him in Christ. Paul is not any longer a -°parate, lone man, he is so truly in Christ than when God looks at him, he sees Christ. Along with that thought, and a part of it, is another: “not having a righteousness of my own, but that which is through faith in Christ, the gighteousness from God that depends on faith.” This 1s sd opposite to what the ordinary person. all religious but ours, and indeed many Christians, understand and aim at, that it seems too Strange to believe. But this is what Christ can mean, my righteousness. The true Christian character is not something built up by the Christian’s own efforts and offered to God; it is something accepted from God; If it is true that when God looks at the Christian he sees Christ, he sees tlje Christian (as one of our songs puts it) ”clad in His righteousness alone.” “Th# Powsr of His Rosurrsetion n Christianity is a supernatural religion. Any one who takes it for less is like a person owning an airplane who never fills it with gas nor takes it out on the runway; like a person who has a fortune in the bank but never writes a check. How often a Christian says to himself, “I can’t!”— and he is quite right, as a rule. Much is demanded of a Christian that is Impossible; which doesn’t make -sense till the Christian discovers that the answer ought to be: “I can’t but Christ can.” Paul not only here but in other places testifies that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is actually available to the Christian. It does not come all at once; Paul is expressing it as a hope only partly realized; but it makes sense—spiritual, supernatural sense if you must put it that way. A Christian can rise above his ordinary earthbound self, by the same power in which Christ triumphed over death. "Ws Await a Savior” Once more, Christ for Paul means the Savior, one who comes to his rescue. But while Paul can speak of haying been saved, he can also talk of salvation in the future. The same Paul who cherished the phrase “This do in remembrance of me . . could also speak of “awaiting” a Savior. There are two great things, part of what is meant by "salvation," which Paul I expects Christ yet to do, in the future. They are closely connected. The first Is that Christ will come to bring him and others to the “heavenly city”— the common* wealth the Christian has never - seen but where his citizenship papers are already made out. The I 1 other thing Paul expects is to be changed: his “lowly body” is to be “like (Christ’s) glorious body.” Paul does not make this fully clear; he had not yet had the ex- , perience. This is the language of hope. But one thing is plain. For I Paid, Christ is not only the Savior from sin, but the Savior from death. Haul no longer feared death, as he might have when a boy.
