ss 1 intamaticnd Uniform Sunday School Laaaorn Bible Materials Exodus 35—40 Devetlenal Readiest Psalm n:l4. Gifts and Glory Lesson tor May 11. 1958 I— - CUPPOSE It Were your problem. ‘J Suppose you had several thousand people, al) of whom had recently been slaves, and their ancestors before them for hundreds of years. These people bad no Bible, no church. Their masters had been very religious people, but

Dr. Foreman

the gods their masters worshipped were nearly all animals, and if not animals, then a river, or the sun. or the emperor and his family. Now suppose you bad these exslaves off by

themselves trying to make them realize the truth about the only true God. How would you make God real to them? Splendor of God That was Moses’ problem. God inspired him not with one answer but with several. One way by which he made God real to these very primitive people was to the provisions for the worship of Goi Essentially this was very simple. God was provided with Living quarters, the same type of home that all the people had, namely a tent This tent was to be right to the very center of their encampment wherever it might be—for the peoI pie now lived the life of wandering desert nomads. When we today I speak of the "house of God,” we mean a church building which is i filled, we hope, with people. But i the Israelite "house of God” was a tent in which nobody at all lived, a tent which only a very few privi- ; leged priests could enter, a tent for God alone. It was so small that even if ft had been filled, only a few dozen people could have got to. But it was near. "God lives to the midst of us." they could say. And it was beautiful The people themselves gave the materials to build it, and the very listing of these materials suggests a brilliant gleaming beauty,—gold, silver, bronze, fine twlred linen, onyx stones ... By the beauty of God's house the people were every day reminded bX the splendor of God. The Best For God Moses might have built that tent for God, the Tabernacle as we call it.—he might have built it himself. Very likely he had the resources with which to do it. But the thing was to be done by the people. ■ Everybody was .encouraged to contribute. Further, they were encouraged to give the best they had, the most costly materials they owned. That was the first church building campaign on record. The house of God was not to be made of scraps left after every one else had been well housed. The house of God was to be erected out of gifts which had cost the givers a great deal There’s an obvious moral .to all this. Now, as then. If all that people devote to the worship of Gbd is what they can well and easily spare; if God’s worship comes from life’s leftovers; it will mean very little. Here is a modern church member who contributes to his church—to the building fund or to any other need—only his spare change. He gives to God's worship not even an hour a week on an average; he never goes when the weather is bad or when it just "doesn't suit him." Glory ot God The Old Testament says that the “glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.” Jewish tradition says that this "glory” was a light so bright no man, not even Moses, could endure the sight of it Be that as it may, what does it mean to this twentieth Christian century, with all we have learned from the New Testament tor the glory of God to fill the house of God 7 For so it should be. There is dullness, emptiness enough to this world without our having Ao go to church for it In God’s house we long to find God's glory. What is it we are really looking for? Saint Paul tells us that the glory of God is in "the face of Christ” Here is a thought for every one who has a heartinterest to the worship of God. When is a Christian church filled With the glory of God? Surely when Christ is seen there, when he fills the church. But to the New Testament the church la not a building, It is people. So a worshipping congregation is filled with the divine glory when it is a congregation of those to whose lives Christ himself Is living, when Christ is not only proclaimed by the preacher but is active to the minds and hearts and service of those who know and love him.

. that is purest, all that is holiest ■ , in life is entwined. For multitudes i of human beings it is true that “ a mother is mother, still the holdiest thing alive.” We are reminded of the duty we ■ owe to our parents by the return again of “Mother’s Day.” If there ~ is one thing the day should do, it I is to recall us to a sense of the duIty we owe to the living. It should never be forgotten that “a rose , to the living is more than sumptuous wreaths to the dead.” It is better far to pour forth unstinted the affection of the heart on a loved one here than to heap flowers on the tombstone when she is gone. The fifth commandment and its promise does not refer to the dead. Parents are to be honored when alive, and thus their memories will ever be fragrant when they are gone.
