Bible Material: Amos 7:7-9: Isaiah 1:1020: Micah 2:1-8, 6-«; Matthew 7:15-27; 25:31-46. Devotional Beadinc: Psalm 37:1-11, Filial Verdict Lesson for September 28, 1958 ONE THING the Bible teaches quite plainly: God is the final court of appeal, his is the final verdict This is true in two ways. First, only God’s judgment is final, because all other judgments are partial, they are based on a comparatively ignorant point of

view. We never see the inside of people, or not very clearly at ; best. We cannot j even examine ! our own mind - j and hearts with ! any accuracy ! We are ignorant, moreover, of many of the cir-

cumstances surrounding or leading up to the acts of other people. Only God knows man inside and out only God knows the "intents of the heart”, only God knows all the circumstances leading up to men's decisions. In another sense God’s verdict Is final, because it will be the last one. After all a man’s friends and | enemies have had their say, after history has enshrined him, blasted him or forgotten him, God will have the last word. Not man's opinion of himself, not other men's ; opinion of him, is finally decisive. Every man’s destiny depends, in the long run, on what God thinks of him. Jusllm comet first j The great prophets, and our Lord who was “more than a ! prophet,” bring this home to everybody with a working conscience. Amos had his vision of God testing the walls men have built, with his own plumb line, ready to tear down every wall not meeting the test. Isaiah tells his church-going city that God has no use for any religious thing they do, because they have been content with injustice. The first thing to do is to “seek justice." Micah pronounces the doom of God on those who make themselves rich by makrng others poor. Jesus in his great prevision of the Last Judgment, divides men right and left on the basis of how they have treated their fellow-men, especially their fellow-men in distress. And then there is the Sermon on the Mount. People argue over this and try to by-pass it, tn many ways. They debate over whether it is a practical Ideal or not. The fact is, Jesus presents it as God’s way of life for man. The Golden Rule, for example, Jesus' principle of justice in one short sentence (Matt. 7:12), is not just a nice idea if you can do it: it is a rock in life’s foundation. Build on my sayings, Jesus says, in effect, and your house will stand , the storm. Pay no attention, or memorize them if you like —just listen and don’t do, and the great storms will bring your house of life to cureless ruin. Justice is not optional Every one agrees that it takes all kinds of Christians to make the Kingdom of God. A Christian can serve God and men in various ways. It is by no means necessary for all Christians to be ministers, or to enter politics, or to be professional men. A good Christian dish-washer—ls that is the most he can do with the mind he has — is just as faithful a Christian as a good Christian governor of a state. But there is one thing that is not optional, not an extra that a Christian can take on as a hobby if he likes, but an absolute essential: justice. We have seen in these past weeks that the Bible idea of justice is not confined to the courtroom (though it is there, of course). Treating people as you wouM wish to be treated, seeking the f?&6d" 6f'‘others as if it were your own: this is justice, in the home and everywhere. This is the ABC of living as a Christian. Justice Comes Last So It should not be surprising, thouh Jesus hinted more than once that a good many people will be surprised—lt should not be surprising that at the last, when God sums up the case and his his final vdfcdict, he will judge (I Peter 1: 17) “each one impartially according to his deeds." And since It is very hard to perform any act whatever without affecting other people, this means that after all other judgments are in, God’s last judgment of each of us will be . based on that question: How did yon treat people T

up. Everybody seems alert to reap his or her part of the harvest in worldly things. Now let us remember in the great vineyard of the Lord the fields are always white unto the harvest, and let us carry His renewed life and energy into the church work. We should rally to the Sunday schools, the church services end the prayer meetings. Suppose we put the same energy, the same determination, zeal and push in these things that we are putting in the everday things of life and then watch the chrurch work take on new life. If there was ever a time God's work should go forward that time is NOW! THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you.“—Matthew 6:33. ‘ Don't respect men for their wealth, but rather for their philanthropy; the sun is not valued for its height but for its use.
