Our heavenly Father desires through the observance of the Sabbath to preserve among men a knowledge of Himself. Christmas Eve the telephone rang in the church in Washington, D.C., that President Franklin Roosevelt attended. I'm not sure about the President's plans. But I can say that we fully expect God to be in our church tonight, and we feel secure in the knowledge that His attendance will attract a reasonably large congregation. Some of us go to church to be seen or be seen by others.
Church becomes a social statement.
And we sometimes join a church becomes of its clientele, because of its power, because of its notability. He attended the church that was to one day crucify Him. He attended the church where administrators were hypocrites. And He knew it. He knew it well.
