JESUS AND REVERENCE FOR SPIRITUAL VALUES t LESSON TEXT Exodus 20:7; Leviticus 19:12; Matthew 5:33-37; Mark 7:5-8; 8:34.3S. MEMORY SELECTION But seek ye ( first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33.

' Reverence Is not an incidental thing which we may or may not choose to have in our lives. It ia vital. Reverence toward God and the things of God will result in respect for all values in life. It will balance our thinking, speaking, and our acting toward our fellow men as well as toward our God. Our lesson calls for ' I. Reverence in Worship (ExocL . 20:7; Lev. 19:12). x The Lord rightfully expects from us a proper "attitude toward him. . If we worship him as we should, we shall And that other matters fall Into their proper relationships. Essential in true worship is reverence for the name of the Lord, for that name stands for all tte qualities and characteristics of God. This means that there must be no taking of the name of the Lord "in vain." Our use of the word "vain" carries the meaning of "useless, without purpose or meaning." This is part of what is in mind in this commandment, for the name of Jehovah is sacred and is to be reverenced as standing for the eternal God. i It is never to be used carelessly, or for a frivolous purpose. All too often we tell jokes or stories .which have no real purpose or meaning except to elicit a laugh, iand in them - we use the name of (tod. We all need to exercise care ilt that point. ! The Hebrew woj$ s translated ;"vain" Uas the additional meaning .of "evil'and falsehood." Men are o bold that they may even use the . name of God to support themselves In a lie. God hears and will in no wise hold them guiltless. n. Reverence in Words (Matt. 5; 33-37). i' The Sermon on the Mount (socalled), from which this portion of Scripture is taken, is difficult to interpret to the satisfaction of all. Some disregard its eviden application to the kingdom and, attempting apply it in the midst of an unudly generation, fall into such inconsistency that they abandon the effort and regard the teaching of the '""""iftssage as impossible idealism. Others, who rightly interpret the passage as presenting the laws and vinciples of life in the kingdom of Ood, when it shall be fully set up a earth with Jesus as King, fail to jr.ake any application of those principles, to life. This is also an unfortunate error. We who follow the Lord Jesus are . rot to swear by either things sa? cred or things that might be called secular. Perhaps he has in mind that our lives should be so true that men will not need to have any kind of oath to be assured of our sincerity and honesty. . Swearing should be entirely beyond the pale with Christian men and women. It is all too common

with both men and women. One fears that this is true not only in the world, but among professed be- ( lievers in Christ. Let us stop it! . , III. Reverence in Works (Mark 7:5-8). i Words which do not issue in works are worse than meaningless. They lead to acceptance of a formal religious system which is dangerous. ."It gives a sense of religious satisfaction which is very superficial, but of some apparent value. It carries with it no high ethical demands. It helps a man to feel religious without being either ethical or moral. It does not probe or arouse. It soothes and calms" (W. R. White). Who will deny that much of the church life of . our day has reached that same sad state of "much ado about nothing" talk, talk, talk, and ' no honest disposition to deal with1 sin, or to seek holiness of life. The .Lord Kates it, and it is a vain exercise as far as spiritual results are concerned. IV. Reverence in Will (Mark 8: S4-36). : Here true reverence shows itself in recognizing that God's will is "good and acceptable and perfect" (Rom. 12:1). Following the Christ of Calvary . calls for a willingness to say no to self (literally, to deny , any connection with self -life) and to follow through with him on the path of shame and crucifixion. No selfwill and no compromise are permissible to "Christ's disciples. ' Foolishly to attempt to hold one's life for self is to lose it. That pain- . ful loss has left brokenhearted, wrecked lives all along the path of man's history. But , why should anyone do it? Equally foolish is the one who supposes that .this world has anything to satisfy, the human soul. Assuming the possibility-of the impossible 'mat is. attaining the whol world as one's owa possession to dp so at the cost of one's soul would be an indescribably jopr bargaj

The story sir, why really now, I haven't much to say, If you had called a year ago, and ' then again today; No need for any one to tell for you could plainly see; Just what our God has done for us, has done for Jim and me. The pail that holds the milk today he used to fill with beer, But he's not spent a cent for drink in now almost a year; Just look into the cupboard, sir, theres' sugar, flour and tea ; That's what our God has done for us, has done for Jim and me. He used to sneak along the street, his head was bended low, As if he was ashamed to meet the friends he used to know; But now he walks with head upright, his step is bold and free, That's what our God has done for us, i has done for Jim and me. I used to be afraid of him, when ' coming home at night, But now it gives me joy supreme, and fills me with delight; The baby plays around his chair and climbs upon his knee, , That's what our God has done for us, has done for Jim and me. He used to smoke a dirty pipe, and . . . v. -v . H chew the filthy weed, : - But, by the precious grace of God, he ' - was entirely freed ; And now our dimes and nickles, too, tobacco will not see, ' That's what our God has done for us, ... has done for Jim and me. v Now mornings, when he goes to work, I kneel right down and say: "Father in heaven, bless dear Jim, and keep him saved today," ! ' And nights before we go to sleep, give thanks on bended knee, That's what our God has clone for us, has done for Jim and me. "God Calls For Those Who Have No Might Nor Power, But Yearn To Be
