STORY OF THE CREATION IS TOLD HERE Dr. Gilroy Tells of the Beginning of Things in This Study. Tho Inlrrnuflonal Uniform Sunday School Lesson for April 11. iioa in < real ion.—tienesla 1:1*3. J 56-31. By Win. E. Gilroy, 1). I). . Editor of The Congregationalist . From the studies in the Gospel of John we turn, during tfce coming quarter, far back into the story of Creation and of beginnings, in Genesis. The jump, however, is not ns great as it might seem, for the theme of the Gospel of John is closely related to the theme of this lesson. The hook of Genesis and the Gospel of the John begin with the same phrase, “In the beginning.” The great purpose of the Gospel of John has been to reveal the meaning of creation, the spiritual significance of God’s creative will and the continuance of that process of creation until life itself is brought into harmony with God. Probably we have inadequately appreciated the Christian perception of progressive creation. God’s life is a continuous process in which man shares, and the highest evidence of evolution is found in the way in which man becomes a partaker of the divine nature. From the standpoint of this spiritual purpose of creation and the goal of human life in a salvation that makes God and man one in Christ, it is interesting to turn back to consider the process from the beginning. Just as in the Gospel of John, we begin with God, "the Word was with God and that was God,” so here the writer of the first chapter of Genesis starts with God, “in the beginning, God.” Mystery of IJfe Can man get far away from that assumption of a Creator? Os spiritual reality at the center and soul of the universe? It is true that it does not explain all that is to be explained. The more one thinks of the mystery of life, the more mysterious it becomes, and one can think about it in circles and circles until the head fairly swims with the problem of the meaning of life, how it came to be, where it is going, and all the questionings that quickly arise even in a child’s mind. Houses do not build themselves, and this is where Paul comes very directly in his argument for the reality of God’s existence and for liis conception of a spiritual being at tile center and soul of the universe. "Every house,” lie says, “was buildcd by some man, but he that built all things is God.” Need of Creator It is in his own nature that man has found the need of a Creator, and the evidence for a Creator. And it is out of all that is best in man himself, and especially out of the ierfeet man, Jesus Christ, that man has developed his conception of God. This was the method of Jesus. He taught men to understand the Fatherhood of God through all that was good ami great In their own fatherhood. It is in grasping these simple truths, and the natural methods of approach to God, that we are able to understand the great truths of the Bible. They conic to us with h reality and satisfaction, when grasped in this natural way, that they never possess for us as mere dogmas. God and man, in the conception of this writer of Genesis, are distinctly linked from the very beginning, for man is made in the image and likeness of God. Do we f lly grasp the spiritual daring of this early saint and seer, who thus linked his own life and personality with that of the Creator? It is one of the most sublime things in all literature, and in all human experience.
