You ied a m ultitude F o r H im one day,— “B ring H im your barley loaves “And fishes two, “Whatsoever He saith to thee— do !” (J. H. Sammis) “Ye have n o t chosen me, b u t I have chosen you, and ordained you, th a t ye should go and b ring fo rth fru it, and th a t your fru it should rem ain.” (John 15:16) “As thou h a st sent me in to th e world, even so have I also sen t them into the world.” (John 17:18) “And they th a t be wise shall shine as th e brightness of th e firm ament; and they th a t tu rn many to righteousness, as th e stars for ever and ever.” (Daniel 12:3) SAVING SINNERS In the final analysis, what is the business of the church? It could never be a selfish business, for it must conform to the charac­ ter, the life and work of its Founder. When Christ propounded the ques­ tion to His disciples, “ But whom say ye that I am?” Peter replied, “ Thou art the Ghrist, the son of the living God.” And to him Jesus replied, “ Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ’’ < The foundation of the church, then, is a Rock, and that Rock is Him­ self, the Son of God. There can never be any other foundation, for “ other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” For what purpose did Jesus Christ come into the world? “ This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” There is no other way by which men can be saved; “ There is none other name under heaven, given among men, where­ by we must be saved.” If Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, we must know who are sinners. “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” and sin is coming short of God’s glory. “ There is none righteous, NO, NOT ONE!”
