CHRIST ESTABLISHED TRUE VALUES FOR THE HUMAN RACE

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation” (HEBREWS 9:28).

The Christian faith engages the profoundest problems the human mind can entertain and solves them completely and simply by pointing to the Lamb of God!

 

The problems of origin and destiny have escaped the philosopher and the scientist, but the humblest follower of Christ knows the answer to both.

 

“In the beginning” found Christ there at the creation of all things, and “the world to come” will find Him there at their regeneration.

 

There is about the Christian faith a quiet dogmatism, a cheerful intolerance. It feels no need to appease its enemies or compromise with its detractors. Christ came from God, out of eternity, to report on the things He had seen and heard and to establish true values for the confused human race.

 

Then, He drew a line between this world and the world to come and said, in effect: “Choose ye this day.”

 

The choice is between an earthly house which we can at best inhabit but a little while and the house of the Lord where we may dwell forevermore.

 

The church is constantly being tempted to accept this world as her home, but toward the world to come we are all headed.

 

How unutterably wonderful that we Christians have one of our own kind to go ahead and prepare a place for us!

 

That place will be in a world divinely ordered, beyond death and parting, where there is nothing that can hurt or make afraid.
