spoiled people today seem to conceive
of God as a good.natured old grand

God is the righteous Ruler of this

He is God of fire and earthquakes

It is safer so. The religion about
Jesus demands belief: the religion of
Jesus demands action. IT is easy to
believe
The religion of Jesus is one of a
healthy discomfort. II creates new
desires furnishes new goals. 1t
makes men restless.
Contentment is not desirable
read the advertisement of a dairy
and catch the phrase, "Contented
cows" Contentment is an asset in a
COW.
Man has imbedded in his soul the
desire to conquer new worlds.
Jesus furnishes a new world. He
called it life-eternal life. It throbs
with energy. 1t is within us. He said !,
latent in US, subject to the sight draft
of our wills
The young man who owned stocks
and bonds wanted this new life. He
wanted to be saved from the old to
the new He pleads his case. He
lists his virtues. He is no libertine.
no murderer: he keeps his hands
away from other mems cash boxes;
he supports his aged mother.
All this is good, Jesus admits.
There is yet one thing to do. Sell
your bonds: sell your stocks: give all
10 the poor.
The young man turned away.
Jesus asked too much. II was his
money. It meant comfort luxury,
privilege. independence. He could not.
Money was his master. He was the
slave Early and late his dollars ruled
him. He devoted himself to getting it,
increasing it. guarding it.
Only free men live. This was Jesus
insistence. Only men whose wrists
and ankles are unclaimed can scale
mountain peaks. The rich young
man was not free. He could not
move freely because of the chains
on his feet. Jesus offered him liberty;
he elected to keep his chains.
