old wanted “to make a boat. His father gave him the parts for it and a book to tell him how to do the work. Soon Harold could say all the rules that were in the book,. But that did not build his boat. He needed some one strong to help him. LESSON STORY: Once, when the Lord Jesus was here on earth, a man came, to Him who knew a great many rules about how to live as a Christian should. He wanted to know what some of the rules meant. The man was a scribe, or a writer. “Which is the first [or most impor tant] commandment of all?” he asked Jesus. This man probably could say the Ten Commandments without making any mistake. The Lord Jesus wanted, him to understand their meaning, so He said something like this: “My friend, the answer is in one little word, ‘L-o-v-e.’ You must love God with all your heart—more than you love anybody else. And you must love other people in the same way that God loves you.” Perhaps the Lord Jesus waited very quietly after Hè said that, and per haps He asked softly, as He looked right into the man’s heart, “Do you love God? Do you love other people in the way God wants you to do?” Thè man knew he didn’t, and ònly the Lord Jesus could help. him. If he would trust in Jesus with all his heart, the two of them would work together —and how happy the man would be then! Trusting in the Lord Jesus will make us happy, too.

LESSON: Can you tell by looking at these needles which two are like Christians and which are like un saved people? By just looking at them separately it is impossible to tell, but you can tell when you see how they behave toward each other. When you see how they act, you will have no difficulty in telling which are like Christians. The first two cling togeth er. They appear to love each other. What do you think could be the rea son for their unusual attraction for each other? “They have become magnetized? You are right. They were once as lifeless as these other needles. The contact with this magnet changed them. The magnet is white and has a red cross on the side, reminding us of the Lord Jesus Christ. When a per son comes to Him, and accepts Him as Saviour, that person has an entirely different attitude toward others! Now these needles remind us of Christians. They are like Christians who cap obey the command of Christ when He said, “ A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another” (John 13:34). These other needles remind us of unsaved people. Notice, they have no attraction for each other. They are cold and lifeless. They are like peo ple, who, not having come to Christ as Saviour, think it is very strange that Christians have such love and at traction for each other, f Perhaps there are those here this morning who have never accepted Christ as Saviour, and who conse quently do not love God’s people. Would you like to take Christ as your Saviour? You will then have the joy of knowing your sins are forgiven, and also you will have a real love for others.
