Go 4 and Neighbor Leeson for February 15, 1959 I SUPPOSE the world had grown so wicked that you could not find any one who could be guar-j an teed to keep more than one of the Ten Commandments? And suppose you wanted to be married? Which commandment would you feel your future wife or husband

simply must keep, i regardless ? If ■ you can answer I that question, you i have answered ; another question: : What, for you, is i the most impor- I tant commandment in the law of God? It is a I very old question.

Teachers of the Law used to debate it at length. Jesus himself was once asked the question directly: “Which commandment is the first of all?” My led, My Neighbor, Myself Jesus did not answer the question by quoting a single one of the ‘Ten Commandments.” He quoted two verses from parts of the Old Testament which to us are less familiar. First from Deuteronomy 6:4.5; and second from Leviticus 19:18. (The reader might well look these up and mark them in his Bible; for if Jesus could be said ever to have boiled down the whole Old Testament into two sentences, these are the two.) One command unites the two: LOVE. Jesus did not, of course, mean to say anything so absurd as that a simple command can produce love. Hie sergeant can say, One, two, three, March! The music teacher can say. One, two, three, Play! The lion l tamer tan Say, One, two, three/ Jump! But not even God says, One, two, three, Love! Human beings are not made that way, and no one knows it better than the God who made us. ! What , Jesus did mean is that ’ this is what God requires of us, nothing less. We cannot fulfill his other commands till we have made an honest effort at this one first. Jesus’ selection of these two commandments shows also the mistake of taking either of them separately. There are those who do not understand what loving God means, and so try to make up for it by loving people. But how is it possible to love people, who are God's children, and at the same time ignore their heavenly Father ? Also there are those who are so much impressed by the greatness of God and the littleness of man, the holiness of God and the sinful follies of man, that they give up loving human beings and lavish all their affection on God above. These need Saint John’s reminder: How can a man love God, whom he has not seen, if he does not love human beings, whom he has seen? Then there are the numerous people who love only themselves, period; and by contrast the people who believe we should never love ourselves. (This overlooks the point—love thy neighbor AS thyself. If love of oneself is sinful, so is love of neighbor!) The true ideal is not any one of these with the others left out; but all these three—love (which is to say, concern for the good and the welfare) of God, our neighbors, ourselves. H«v TNs Worts From the numberless applications of this central law of God, let us select one which is appropriate to Temperance Sunday. Here is a problem: What should be a Christian’s attitude to alcoholic liquors? Suppose a man tries to answer that question on the basis of love to himself alone? Then his question will be simply: Is this going to do ME any harm ? If the answer is No (if-—!) then he may proceed to drink like a fish. But ; suppose he tries to solve his problem on the basis of love to God alone; then he may ask, Is the alcoholic content of my blood, high or low, going to hurt GOD? Well, he thinks, of course not (though he is mistaken); so he again may proceed to drink like a fish. But suppose he opens his eyes wide enough to take in his neighbor;— his children, his family, others who have weaker willpower than himself, those who look to him as an example, those who will be affected by the clearness or fuzziness of his mind as he makes decisions . . . then he will look at hie drinking habits in quite a different light. No man lives on an island alone; and Christian love keeps that fact always bright in the mind.

continents of people .are starving, and virtual bondage has supplanted freedom in countries which until recently have enjoyed the same kind of liberties as we. America itself is in danger of losing this freedom. Don’t make the mistake of blaming God for the conditions in the world today. It isn’t the fault of the *- doctors when people get sick. Most often it is their own fault directly or indirectly. People turn to doctors however, when they get sick. Jesus is the Great Physicians. Do you know of anyone more able to cure the ills of the world? If you do, let the world know about it. If you don’t, isn't it the worst kind of sedition to scorn Him or ignore Him? Attend church next Sunday.
