PRE.EMINENcE OF FAITH ovEr
SIGHT.

PRE.EMINENCE OF FAITH OVER
SIGHT
8. w. Thomas, pastor OF the Washington
Street Methodist Episcopal church, South.
preached yesterday upon the appearance Of
the Lord before Thomas, when the latter
proclaimed and bewailed his previous lack
of perfect faith:
II was. however, the supreme moment for
Thomas. And yet when he saw the Lord
as the other disciples had already seen Him.
he made an open confession Of his wrong.
He exclaimed: "My Lord and my Godp'
do not understand the text to be Of the
nature of reproof. but rather OF the char
acter OF special instruction. The pre-einl-
nence of faith over sight Is a thing which
is here brought to view. 1t was an ines
Unable privilege to walk up and down the
landed estate of Israel, In the presence of
ihe Master, feeling the marvellous influence
OF His personality, listening to the precious
words OF truth that fell from His lips daily
upon their hearts, looking upon the wonder
1ul works which He wrought before them.
But II was still grander to walk by faith,
and the time had now come when they
must take their first steps without sight.
In this sense the text may be regarded as
a method of elevating the faith and cducat-
ing the spirit for the life and work which
should glorify Jesus In the years to come.
we must not disparage the seeing of
Christ, Note that seeing Christ was a gu
preme fact In securing conviction with men
and the acceptance of Jesus as Tho Re
deemer. If no one had ever seen Him the
story of His living dying, resurrection and
ascension to heaven might be taken as
mere hgment of the imagination. Chrst's
Incarnation and appearance on earth afteI
his resurrection was no mere incident, but
an important part Of the system of Gods
decentralization of Jesus Christ 'Fol
this purpose was the Son manifested -
God manifested in the flesh" The mani
festation Of Jesus in the flesh to the senses
of men Is the foundation OF faith. Having
been eyewitnesses the apostles were pecuI
1arlTnftted to be the guardians Of the truth
and MSpagators of the Gospel They saw
Him after His rising from the dend and
hence could authenticate all that was in.
cluded in the gospel. With this Identification
Jesus at once became the object Of their
worship; the subject Of their gospel story;
the theme of their conscious experience.
Sight precedes faith In the order of our
believing, The testimony In the gospels is
based upon their seeing, Simeon had had
revealed to him that he should not see death
until he had seen the Lord Christ and when
he saw the Lord he took up the child Jesus
in his arms and said, Nov, Lord lettest
thou Thy servant depart IN peace for niue
eyes have seen Tiny salvation And we
read that Jesus said, I'VE speak that we
do know and testify that we have SEEN
and We receive not our witness"
