Devetienal Readinc: Psalm 31. “Yes” to God Lesson for November 25, 1962 IF WE weren’t so used to the Christian religion, we should be all the time astonished by it. Here for example is a church full of people who have come together to worship God. The man who leads the worship reads to them nffSSH out of an ancient book, centuries old in fact, the -*- wi holy book al * Ag these people. And what is the minis1 ter rea<^n ® about this morning? ■ Somewhere in the ■Wp 318,000 churches HM A mI of America, it is Dr. Foreman a safe guess that every single week some congregation listens to a story about something that happened in a jail. That jailer has been to church (or his story has been read in church) oftener than many a respectable citizen. Unlikely Case We know for a fact that many more respectable people than this jailer became Christians during the first years of the Christian religion. Then why is space given to the tale of this miserable man? Besides, why is this story of the jailer told and re-told so often? One reason is, this is the story that shows how simple a thing it is to be a Christian. If it was possible for that jailer, it is possible for anybody. Can you imagine that jailer eoming to your church and asking to join it? What would people say? They would say he was too stupid to know what Christianity means. They would say he couldn’t find congenial friends in your church. (How many jailers are on your churdi roll, by the way? How many prison guards?) People would even say he was too old a man to change; that he beats his prisoners, he doesn’t even provide them with meals, he doesn’t : let them lie down at night. A brutal, cruel, ignorant, low-grade character, this particular city jailer.

“Yes” to Jesus Like a good many others, this man didn’t set out to be a Christian. The question he asked, in excitement and terror, “What must I do to be saved?” was not a religious question for him. Under the law, he was responsible for his prisoners, and he was sure they must have all escaped. This meant losing his job, it would certainly mean that he would be beaten, and probably mean that he would be sentenced to death. He had seen too many men tortured and killed to want to be a victim himself. So he cries out, What must I do to be saved? Paul knew, Paul had been saved. He had heard God’s call out under the sky. Now this jailer was going to hear God’s call in a dark jail smelling of rats and human blood. Paul knew the man needed to be saved from something worse than loss of a job, something worse than being executed. He needed to be saved from his sins, saved from himself. So he tells him a real piece of news. It was something that had to be explained; and Paul went on to explain it But the thing was simple: “Believe in the Lord Jesus.” As we can put it in other words, that meant saying “Yes” to what Jesus was and did. It would mean more and more as life would go on. But the jailer could begin where all Christians begin; by saying YES to Jesus. "Yes” to Qod Paul’s own Christian life had begun with, two questions, and we may suspect that he led that jailer to ask them too. “Who art Thou?” and “What wilt Thou have me to do?” Saying Yes to Jesus means accepting him as the very grace of God in person,—the love of God walking on two feet. Saying Yes to Jesus is accepting him as the One who gave himself for us all, and that includes jailers and jailed, it includes the worst of men and die best of men. Saying Yes does not mean doing this or that to attract God’s notice and to get him over on our side. It means just taking hold of the hand of God, it means accepting, not forcing, not buying, just accepting as a free and marvelous Gift, the mercy of the eternal God. But how much of this could be explained to the jailer in less than an hour? How can we be so sure he became a Christian? The writer of Acts never does actually say that the jailer was saved. But he certainly was. Let the reader study the story in Acts 16 once again: why can we be sure?

James R. Meadows It is wonderful to have someone praying for you. "Son, remember, your mother is praying for you all the time while you are gone," said a mother as she kissed her son goodby. The son never went wrong, for that mother was not only a praying mother, but she was a believing mother. Jesus was the greatest example of prayer. He knew that Peter would deny Him and yet He prayed for him. That was a close call for Peter, and had it not been for Jesus’ prayer, no one can tell what would have happened. But can we pray for those who despitefully use us? Jesus did, and did it with great earnestness and love. Yes, it costs something to be a Christian, but it pays big in the enterest of better lives and happy souls. We ap-

Our Neighbors — We see them as they go their way, with a friendly nod or smile; it’s our many friends and neighbors, that help make life worth while. We do not know their politics, nor do we know their creed; but we do know their always there, to be a friend in need. It cannot be their politics, nor can it be their creed; that always makes them ready to do a kindly deed. Some may be faithful Christians, while some may be in sins with all it is that latent faith, that is buried deep within.
