saved from their sins or forever be
castaways. Their sin is their sell
llshness. Unless they are saved
from their selfishness il will be i'm
possible for them TO enjoy the socie-
ty Of Heaven where AL love and
live for each and each loves and
lives for all, as Jesus did, as He
now does"
But men can be saved from their
sins only by being persuaded TO
repent Of them, to turn away from
them and learn to love God with all
their heart and their neighbOr as
themselves. But they cannot be
persuaded TO repent OF their sins
until they see the heinous nature
and tendency of their sins.
God uses the crime Of Judas and
the other murderers Of Jesus to re-
veal to the whole universe Of in
telligent creatures the awful char
acter and destructive tendency of
sin which reigns in every sinful
heart. In that crime sin did all il
could do to destroy the very life Of
the Infinite God. The blood of Je-
sus Christ shed upon the cross by
sinful men is a complete and full
revelation Of the enormous char
acter Of all sin. mo further she'd
ding Of blood is necessary II
shows that sin, unrestrained, would
destroy all the blessedness of the
universe. Its blinded selflshness
murdered the immaculate Son Of
God! Yet the sins Of those MUIR
erers were just like the common sins
OF common men everywhere. II
was only one expression of the ami
NAL or carnal. selfish mind which
controls the life and conduct Of
every sinner.
II is just such sins as Jesus came
into the world TO save sinners from.
When men see their own sinful
character in contrast with the I'M
selfish life Of Jesus. and as revealed
in His blood shed on the cross by
sin-blinded men, they loathe them
selvesl They hate their sinful char
acter! They long to be saved from
il; as from a dead body, as from
hell itself! II is hell
To produce this sense of sin and
this longing to be saved from IL, is
one prime ingredient in the blood
"of Jesus His Son to cleanse us from
all sin" Another companion func-
tion Of the Cross of Christ is TO re-
veal the love Of God and TO inspire
hope in the penitent sinner for Di-
vine help TO overcome sin and live
an unselfish life.
But this conviction of sin and this
inspired hope, and its fulfillment
can come from the Cross Of Christ
only 10 those who believe the rec
ord which God has given Of His Son
in the Inspired Scriptures:
That Jesus is the only begotten
and sinless Son OF God.
That He was filled with the Di- |
vine Spirit without measure.
That He wrought many signs
which none but the Great Creator
in Him, could perform.
That he endured the contradic-
ion Of sinners against Himself
while living among them, teaching
md persuading them 10 turn away
rom their selfishness and live for
'thers-tO seek first the kingdom
II God and His righteousness that
o show the sincerity Of His interest
n them and TO carry out the loving
purpose Of God TO make such an
OF the awful character
II sin as would constrain men IN
'epent, He voluntarily submitted 10
'e the victim OF their sin, and SUI
er and die on the cross for them.
