Son of God Lessen for October 21,1962 ■\X7HAT is there in the Christian religion that marks it as different from any other in the world? We have something or other in common with every

religion, to be sure. It has been said that Christian religion and the most barbarous of jungle faiths have more in common than either of these has with atheism. But that is not the point. What

J Dr. Foreman

do we have that is distinctive, unique, unlike any other religion whatsoever? The reader will think of the answer at once: Jesus Christ. There is no equivalent of Jesus in any other religion. Alleged “opposite numbers” turn out, on inspection, to bear little resemblance to the Christians’ Lord. Because of the great importance Jesus Christ possesses, the church has thought much and long about Him and has said a great deal. It all grows out of what was said in the Bible about Him. Out of much more that could be said, three points are selected here, for highlighting,—all from tiie Bible material. Equality with God First of all, the church teaches that Jesus Christ is divine. The most usual way to say this in the New Testament is to call Jesus the “Son of God.” Now there are three kinds of “sons” of God recognized in the Bible. To repeat what was said in this column last week, at lowest level are all men, all human beings. By creation we are all children of God. But there is a great difference between being a son-by-creation and a son-by-faith-and-love. So the second level is the sonship of adoption, as Paul puts it in Romans 8, the intimate trusting conscious sonship of true Christians. The third level has only one person In It, i Christ Jesus our Lord, the Son of God. The writers of the New Testament never (or very seldom indeed) call Jesus God directly; but the church reflecting through many years on what the Bible does say, long ago arrived at the conclusion that whatever it takes to make God God, Jesus Christ has and is. Yet Christ and the Father are not two Gods. The church came near saying that, but after a long debate concluded there cannot be two Gods. Jesus is not a second God, not a substitute or minor God. That is the meaning we see in Paul’s saying that Christ was in the form of God, but did not think equality with God was a thing to be grasped. "He emptied Himself" Paul goes right on to say that Christ “emptied Himself” and was born in the likeness of men. The writer to the Hebrews goes farther than saying Jesus was “like” men. Christ, he says (Hebrews 2:14) “partook of the same nature” as his human brothers. In other words, the church declares that not only as divine as the Father in heaven is, He is as human as you and I are. This was not a make-believe, not putting on a costume and pretending to be a man. It was really being a man. The church has never explained how this could be. If we knew how it could be, we would know as much as God knows. Giver of life There are many figures of speech in the Bible to indicate one thing: that Christ is the source of spiritual life for all who believe in Him. Jesus called Himself the vine, with His disciples as the branches. He called Himself bread, and water. (Note: He did not say cake; bread and water were then the minimum essentials for food and drink; Christ is not to be regarded as a luxury but as a necessity.) Those who believe in Him have eternal life, now. Eternal life (and this is a noteworthy point) is not merely a longer life. It means (as Saint John uses the words, and Jesus before him) a different quality of life. Mere'everlastingness might not be such a good thing. Eternal life is the kind of life which deserves to be everlasting. What Christians are saying, to put a big idea into very small space, is that what Christ camo to do was to bring to this earth, to any one who desires it, a new kind of life, so that we may become new persons,

TRYING TO DECEIVE GOD Rev. James R. Meadows We read in the 4th chapter of Acts and the 34th and 35th verses where the apostles had all things common, and sold what they possessed and bought the money and placed it at the apostles’ feet. And we also notice that one named Barnabas had land which he sold and placed the entire amount in the apostle’s treasury, and he received a great blessing. Then Ananias and Sapphira came to the apostle Peter and professed that they were giving the entire purchase price — giving their all into the treasury. But God had revealed it to His apostle that these two were not telling the truth. They could not deceive God, nor could they deceive God’s people, and Peter says, “Thou has not lied unto men, but unto God.” Hie apostle Peter did not mince matters, he wanted to be understood and he talked plain, “Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.” And what an awful judgment came upon Ananias and Sapphira. They fell down and gave up the ghost, and they wound them up and carried them out and buried them. They did not ge tthe great blessing that Barnabas received. No. They did not come clean — they practiced fraud. I call to mind a farmer I knew many years ago, who was well-to-do, and was an official in a certain church. One Sunday they were raising money to take care of a most urgent need when this man spoke up and said he could not help because he was not abl« at that time to raise any money. In less

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1982 v

than two weeks lightning struck one of his fine Holstein cows and killed it, and one of his work horses died. It is impossible to deceive God for He knows all things, and when this man had two fine farms, live stock, etc, all paid for as well as Liberty Bonds in the bank, he was not lying to men but unto God. In closing this message I especially want the unsaved ones to realize what it means to try to deceive God. Remember, when a Christian comes to you and asks you if you are saved, and you say, “Yes," when you are not, you are not just lying to man, but unto God, for God’s Holy Spirit draws that person to you. The Christian is just letting God lead them, and we want sinners to see the seriousness of lying unto God. A-men! THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” — Matthew 12:31.
