I Creamed .a I Comments Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, the justice and mercy of God, Duet. 10:12-15; 1722; 11:1, Romans 5:6-11, for Sunday, July 6. This lesson is the first in a series regarding the principles of social justice and mercy in humin and religious affairs, and emphasizes the source of justice—a just God. The passages from Deuteromony outline the idea of justice in the nature of God and the acts of his children; the passage from Romans makes clear the evidence of mercy in God’s gift of Christ. The lesson shows how the principles of justice and mercy are essential in our faith. Vs. 12. 13, 14. "And now Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God. to Walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. . . To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? . . . (Sehold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.” Moses Uttered these words near the end of his life. In ancient times, the very lives of the people were dependent on them ability to please their rulers, and, by the same logic, they now wondered about the God they worshipped and what he required of them. Fear of God means awe, as a small child has toward his father, whom he considers all-wise and all-powerful. Keeping God's commandments is intended to come

from the heart because of love for Him, knowing that our greatest good comes from following His will for us. God is the creator and possessor of all things. V. 15. “Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.” God could have choSqn any nation to’be his chosen people’but he chose the Israelites. Vs. 17-19. "For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: . He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. . . Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” of little faith in God over the The Israelites had shown evidences years, sometimes worshipping other gods, hesitant about attempting the conquest of Canaan, because of their lack of faith in God’s power. God has great power as a conqueror and as a judge who showed his true greatness and honor by being impartial in his judgments without respect to persons or bribes. His justice is equalled by his goodness and mercy in his concern for the fatherless, the widowed and the-strangers in the land. He champions the cause of the demenseless needy and his sovereignty is shown in a positive, purposeful way. Just as the Hebrews were foreigners in Egypt, they should welcome strangers in their midst as Jacob and his sqps were first welcomed in Egypt. _ Vs. 20-22. "Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name ... He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine yes have seen. . Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the Lord thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.” God did great things for Israel and deserves the undivided love and loyality of their hearts. They should swear by his name in taking oaths or making contracts. God demands of his followers their love, their reverence and practical obedience. Because of God's love for Israel, he had saved them many times, »ahd, from seventy persons, he had made a mighty nation. Vs. 6,7, 8. “For when We were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. . . For scarce# for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. . . But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.". Man was unable t<j save himself or live the kind of life God required,so needed God's assistance God's gift of Christ to the world was a gift to men who had not earned the light to stiph a gift and who actually deserved-punishment for their sins. Very rarely, a man will lay down his life_ for a friend, but Jesus went further in giving his life for his enemies and for the ungodly, and therefore, it Was an act of supreme mercy. We receive God s approval on the basis of our faith in Christ not because we deserve it. Vs. 9. 10, 11. “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. . . For if, when we were enemies,.we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life . . And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the "atonement.” Jesus’ death removed all the barriers standing between men and. God.

I j"" -5U TOwa In his book, This is America's hour, Dr. Louis Evans says, “We pray for America first—first irf usefulness to God; first in her availability to the spiritual kingdom enterprise; first in wealth, that she may bend over the weak and suffering; first in wealth, that she may share it with others in mercy. May she be first in light, may she be a lamp an the darkness; first in strength, that phe may bear the infirnStog, of the weak; fhftt in purity, WM others may sup from our Cleansed walls . . . U.S. spells “tis.” America fulfills her spiritual Christian destiny only as God possesses our individual purses, powers and persons. Each must do his and her part for the collective righteousness” Lesson Prayer Clericus Says: Our concern for social justice (stems, ow; Christian responsibility to a just and merciful God. True followers of Christ feel impelled to work for justice for all people. Our duty is to imitate His justice and mercy, made possible only because of God's transforming power in our hearts. It is all summer up in the - word “love.” Love is the root —love for God and love for man—and justice and mercy are the fruits of this love-. Lesson Prayer: Dear Father, we thank Thee for the gift of Thy Son. Jesus Christ, that, through Him, we may learn to show jusice and mercy to our fellowmen, just as He did. We thank Thee, too, that we can know Thee better through our knowledge of Thy Son. Grant that we may love, reverve and serve Thee. May our relationships at home, business, school, socially, be such as to reflect Thy will for us in all that We do and say. Amen.
