World Wide Church * • Lemon for March 23, 1953 THE Bible always means the same thing; but Christians* r understanding of What it means changes from age to age. Some- : times the church ignores parts cd the Bible and looks the other way, i as it were, when their reading ;. brings them to these passages. Sometimes the church may be very fond of a verse or an Idea in the Bible, but their notion of ■ what it means may be far off : ? the beam. Some- fl times the church in one era understands the Bible Dr - Foreman ; rightly—for that era; and Christians in a later time of the world will get another meaning, which . is the right one for their era. Ba lata All the WarW The Master definitely expected [ his religion to spread throughout ' the world. By all accounts, his last orders to his friends were marching orders. Some church members seem to think—indeed, some of them will try to tell you—that each part of the world has its own special local religion and it is bad manners, if not worse, for us Christians to barge in, so to speak, into the territory already staked out for other gods. That, of course, is nonsense. If it were true, then the Pilgrim Fathers had no business bringing their Bibles to the New World. They should have come intending to join whatever religion the Indians might have. Jesus would have thought it nonsense to expect the faith he founded to stay put in Jerusalem. There was no religious vacuum anywhere in the World then; there is none now. “Into all the world** * meant, and still means, that tho 1 Christian gospel has to be taken ■ right into competition with existing religions, some of them much older. "Into all the world” means that CKnsWiaribW wiffi : cle which is already used everywhere, namely religion; but with a brand of religion the like of ■ which, or the equal of which, has : never yet been seen. What Grandma Saw la It There have been times, very j long times, in the history of the . Christian church, when this last challenginf command of Christ was completely forgotten. Christians had* a vague idea that God - would win worshippers all over the world, but they had only the foggiest notions how he would do this, and besides, they figured it was God's business anyhow and they needn't bother. But along in the 19th century, the church began to have a different understanding of the Bible, and of their responsibilities as Christians. Jesus’ command to “Go, teach” in all the world was taken seriously, and what we know as World Missions er Foreign Missions was re-born. The nineteenth century was a great Missions century. It saw the founding of the great missionary societies in Europe, Great Britain and America. It saw thousands of young people going out as foreign missionaries. Now in Grandma’s time, the way she, as a humble Christian, looked at It was about the way the churches all looked at it “We who belong to the Christian churches in the Christian countries are in duty bound to send missionaries to the dark and heathen lands of the world. We must send money, too, to build churches and open up hospitals and schools; we must keep on doing this, we and our children, till the whole world has been converted.*’ A New Day Dawalng What happened? The missionaries succeeded better than Grandma expected. To make a long story short, the Christian church was no longer, as it had been for centuries, a European-American affair. There was an Indian church and an African ehurch and a south Pacific islands church, and so on around the globe. What were these new churches to do? Sit still and live on missionary offerings from far-off America, listen to sermons exclusively from missionaries, bo “run” from New York or Edinburgh or Amsterdam? Not tor long! The more Christianity succeeded, the more certain it became that these "mission** churches would begin to stand en their own feet ing.
