The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1908-10-30

Jesus Is all that God Is In innnite
love. Who hath seen Jesus hath seen
God. Oh. the glorious wisdom OF
Him who hath seen God.
Jesus was a prophet not only in
telling us of Gods attitude toward
sin. with clear positiveness. but He
also was a prophet in regard 10 our.
selves. He tells us what God is in all
His glory and He tells us what mar
is. what We are ourselves. Jesus is
the ideal type. The critics pass Him
by. In His almighty wisdom. We see
low ignorant We are. In His holi-
= sss. with its overpowering glory. We
observe how sinful. how mean, how
low We are. Study Jesus life and
draw out from you as you know your
selves TO be. How small, infinitesi'
mally small. do you seem. He has
been prophet, for He has shown how
small We are. Two sides. the dark
and the light. Jesus has shown us,
but He has not alone given us view
to the dark side by showing US our
smallness. He has also brought up
the light side and with full hopeful.
ness not only tells us how small We
are, but shows us our largeness. He
tells us OF the power and potentiali'
ties within us. "Ye. therefore, shall
be perfect in love" You are a sim
ner, but you may be a son OF God.
Jesus is glorious as prophet of God,
for He tells us how IL may be If We
live as He lived.
Not only a prophet OF God and
men. Jesus sought to expand the rev.
elation Of God, and beneath il all,
| with prophetic note, gave the ideal re-
lationship OF life, that of father and
son. Did time permit we could con-
slider the many lights between God
and man. Jesus came and in His ear
lier years lived In simple communion
with His Father, before He gathered
about Him His twelve disciples. He
prayed In the mountains and prayed
for the forgiveness Of the sins of the
world. He set the right relation be-
tween Son and the Father-a per-
sonal relationship. He never lost
hope In all His suffering. but trusted
In His Father. In His life He would
| tell us that the infinite relation is that
of Father and Son.
Not only would Jesus teach us the
ideal relationship between God and
men, but He lived the life between
man and man. Should we follow the
precepts of Jesus, this relation of
man to man would be one of sacred
example. Follow the teachings Of
Jesus and get all the power and po-
tentiality that Is in you. Develop self
by developing others. Find life by
losing 1t. 1t will be victory for self,
the inner self BY the Word Of God
we are one, or non-existent. Jesus
tells us of Gods relationship.
How can any one ask, knowing
these things and Gods relationship to
man, how He effects our salvation?
Can any one be convinced and saw,
Can Jesus save Me?" He demands
OF us our love. He demands that we
follow Jesus and do what He did. He
demands that we follow Him as Jesus
did and secure salvation by His for
giveness. We know that the penal
ties of sin are awful, for Jesus has so
taught us. The truth that | am
small He has impressed upon me, but
that / am to become larger through
hope and forgiveness | know through
His word. Jesus calls upon us to be
prophets in His name. We can take
His teachings throughout life, but we
do not follow them. That Is not rec
ognition of the word. He has done
His part and we should do ours. He
cannot make us or we would not be
personalities.
Jesus said to the multitude. Chris
tians, follow Me, and as the apostles,
they left and followed Him. Jesus
calls us up from our worship OF gold
and the money gods which we serve.
He called to the people, love Me more,
and they worshiped Him. He calls to
us. love Me more. BY Thy mercv we
will hear Thy call and will serve Thee
by love and service best Of all.
