Gospel Preface Lesson for October 5, 1958 THE FIRST three books of the New Testament were not the first to he written. Earlier than these gospels are the letters of Paul. If it had been left to him, there would have been no gospels, for he seems to have taken very little interest in the personal ca-

Dr. Foreman

reer of Jesus o' Nazareth. But there must have been many early Christiana who kept asking: Did Jesus do anything in this world but die? If he was a teacher what did he have to say?

Where did he live, and how? Who were his friends and his enemies ? What did he do or say that made some people hate him enough to kill him? What did he do or say that made other men believe he was the Son of God? The first three gospels were all written to answer such questions. It is these gospels that will be the source-material for the lessons used by the elghty-plus denominations using the '‘international” lessons. They will be studying the One in whom we all are one. Th* World The spotlight of interest in the gospels is, of course, Jesus himself. The gospel writers do not include long chapters on historical background, as we might wish they did; for the first readers knew the background very well, they were a part of it Luke, however, piles a lot of proper names into his third chapter, as if it were anchoring the gospel story in the general story of history, the story of mankind. The gospels are about a real person who lived in a real world. You could have followed him around with a movie camera. The time of Christ was not the “once upon a time” of fairy tales. He was a contemporary of certain Roman and Greek officials very well known, when Luke was writing;, otherwise there would have been no sense in mentioning them. Those names, if we take the trouble to study them, set before us in one sentence the Roman empire, a great power system, its far-flung provinces controlled by career men in the pay of Rome, imposing peace on the world, holding even the priesthood of a little obscure people like the Jews as part of their great political system. Th* Hop* In his empire, and so to speak underneath it, subjects but not citizens, lived the Jews. Most of them then, as now, lived outside of Palestine. But all Jews to some extent, and the Jews of Palestine Intensely, looked forward to a New Age, a time when God would "redeem his people" as they put it; that is, when God would not only “restore the kingdom” to Israel but would make Jerusalem the center and capital of the whole world, in an age where all the best dreams and hopes of the prophets for an age of righteousness and justice and peace would come true. Center of this hope was the “Messiah” or “Christ” (two words meaning the same thing), who in some way—they were not clear just how—would start that New Age and be its emperor forever. Th* Story The gospels tell the story of the man whose neighbors called him Jesus, and whose most intimate friends, under strict secrecy, called him Messiah. The general public, the Jews at large kept dinging at him to say whether he was, or was not, the Messiah, but he kept public silence on that point almost to the end. You might say that the gospels are the story of the real Messiah came to the very people who were looking for him, but came in away that shocked them into violent opposition and even hatred. All three "synoptic” gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, tell the story in much the same way; John has his own different way. Many characters come on and off the stage, and they are real enough; but the center, as was said, is always Jesus. In these stories he comes alive as a historical Person. Across the centuries the question comes to modern as to ancient man: Here is Jeaus: are you for him or against htant

Ways Os Supporting The Church Rev. J. R. Meadows There are countless methods, but only three certain ways of supporting the church. The first way is probably the oldest. This is the Way of Gratitude. It has been followed by all those who are conscious of having received at God’s hands blessings and benefits. That they may show forth this praise not only with their lips but in their lives, from the dawn of history to the present day, they have gladly placed an offering on God’s altar. The second way of supporting the church has guaranteed the continuance and progress of the church. This is the Way of Obligation. Those who have realized their dependence upon the church for spiritual support have also reco-

gnized the church's dependence upon them for materinal support. They have not left this to passing feelings and desires. They have made it and keep making it a matter of duty. The third way of supporting the church brings the church close to personal experience. This is the Way of Affection. Without it any other way of supporting the church may fall short of attaining its object. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Husbands, love your wdves, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it, That He might sanctify and cleanse it With the washing of water by the word. That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”—Ephesians 5:25-27.
