“In The Paster’s Study" GOD | PITCHED A rJgM TENT, TOO! SI Walter J. Claeys. 8.A., B.D. God is as up-tn-date as Pastor. First Baptist Chui ch anything. America's move North Liberty to the camp site for a short Phone 656-8344 day or two is not something new. God pitched a tent. t<xx The Bible (Jn. 1:14) says that God “was made flesh and dwelt among us." Become technical and exact with me for a minute; more accurately translated that would read "pitched his tent among us." God in the person of His Son Jesus Christ, did not become a camper, but became a human being, “was made flesh" and lived among human beings for a short time. That time amounted to thirty-three years. He "tented” here on the earth temporarily, doing miracles, preaching, teaching, and predicting His death for you and me. Then, as one breaks camp preparing to head for home, Jesus Christ (God in flesh) voluntarily went to the cross for one reason: to keep you and me out of Hell! He went to His death to pay for our sins. He was substituting for us. Then He was buried, rose to life, and ascendi-d back to heaven. His temporary “tenting" days were over. BuL His off^r to gave people from Hell Is not over; That stands as a blessed, valuable offer to you today. "The wages of sin is d'*at.h; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Some received Him and what He did for them, but most did not. The same today. Th s*' who receive are saved and those who do not spend eternity in Hell th« m ^dves paying for their sins since they reject Jesus' pardon. Be saved today!
