"SALT ” OR "LEAVEN "? (Continued from page 124)
but it also marks our most sacred responsibility both to God and to our fellows. It is not enough to have the Bible and believe that it is the very Word of God and fight for that belief, but we must teach that Bible in such a way that it may become effective in the lives of our children; and the teaching that is not backed by the living of it is not effec tive and will not and cannot serve the great purpose of Christ when He said. “ Ye are the light of the world,” for that light is the Light of lights, and the life is His life wrought out in ours by His Holy Spirit. A Challenge to Confidence and Radiant Hope In the third place these words are a challenge to confi dence and a radiant hope. Jesus tells us that He came not to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill. He ful filled them in His own life but He also came to fulfill all their vision in the life of His people, and in the life of the world. When you speak of "the law and the prophets you must remember that you have in them a vision for the life of the world, and Jesus Christ says that He came to fulfill all that vision. He not only lived a perfect life in which the law was perfectly realized, hut He did something that makes it possible for Him to identify us with Himself, so that “ He that sanctifleth and they that are sanctified are all of one.” Therefore we are salt and light in measure as we are identified with Jesus Christ, and to be identified with Jesus Christ is to be identified with His purpose and program. Regarding that He says, “ Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall In no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished." In other words, He says that not a single Jot or tittle of that great vision of life that is given through law and prophet shall in anywise pass away until it shall be realized according to the purpose and will of God, so that the thing the Church stands for is not a forlorn cause or a defeated hope, but something that is made sure through the promise and achievement of our Lord. He who has conquered death and has made radiant the hope of His people through the power of the Resurrection, is able to keep His word and fulfill in the minutest detail that which He has given to us as the vision of His purpose. The things that fail are the things that are outside of His will. The empires that will pass away-are the empires that are built by the selfishness and ambitions of men. The things that remain and shall finally be established as the eternal order, are the things that are in line with His will and are conserved in the life of His people who are willing to accept His program and His way of life, and the only people who are walking in the light and are truly progres sive in their thinking are the people who are walking according to His light, and are thinking His thoughts. Therefore, the Church ought first of all to appreciate its privileges and sense its tremendous responsibilities to God and its fellowmen, and be radiantly hopeful and confident in the final issue of the mission that is committed to it. The heavens may be moved and the earth may pass away but the thing that is represented in the message of the Church of the Living God can never pass away because it has back of it the promise and the throne of God as revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord.
