Christ. Christ declared: Thou art
Simon, the son of John. Thou shalt be
called Cephas."

by Christ while He visited Jerusalem
and other places. Then He returned
and called them to follow him.
6. "Cephas" is Greek for Peter

Christians life. Paul saw that he was
called upon. just as every Christian is,
to observe certain laws of spiritual de-
velopment Christian growth is irnpos-
sible unless one has by repentenance
and faith been brought into fellowship
with Christ. Jesus is the source of our
life and strength giver. BY the gift of
His grace there Is impaired unto the
believer a new life and the longing to
be like our Master in all things. For
getting our past mistakes sins and
failures we press toward the goal of
Christlikeness.
In the developing of Christian growth
God has appointed apostles. prophets,
evangelists, pastors and teachers for
the perfecting of the members of
Christ's Church, so that we may "all
come into the unity of the faith and
the knowledge of the Son of God"
Peter tells us that "all things that per-
tain to life" are given through the
knowledge "of God and of Jesus our
Lord" Filled with that knowledge of
His grace and power, we work out our
own salvation through prayer and the
guidance OF the Holy Spirit, revealing in
our love and labor the Masters gift of
grace and faith for all men. Leaving
behind the failures of the past, let us
press on ito perfection" by growing ain
the grace and knowledge of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ" Faith
working by love will increase the output
Of our lives and labor for His glory.
Bible study, prayer, attendance on
Christian worship and doing all that
We can to promote the kingdom of God
among men will help develop our
spiritual life. If we fail to do this, ours
will be lives of arrested growth and
development. Let us love, labor and
learn and keep on growing like our
Lord.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-02-23

Life Is characterized by growth.
When development ceases, decay, de-
terioration and death soon manifest
themselves. Our Lord came that men
might have life and have 1t more
abundantly." Conversion marks the
commencement of the new life, that
men receive through the gift OF Gods
grace upon their repentance OF their
sins and profession of their faith in
Jesus Christ as their Savior. The
Master impressed the necessity Of being
born again upon Nicodemus. Every
form of life has purpose. The divine
life of the Christian has double
process in its development. Christian
growth is seen not only In progressive
deliverance from sin, in action and
character, but in progressive expansion
of the divine life through "the train
ing of the powers and development OF
the possibilities of the soul" Christian
growth must pass through many stages
and innumerable events before one at
tains unto the goal of perfection re-
vealed in Christ. God uses experiences
of various kinds in the development
of our christian growth" so that we
may possess in our lives q moral like
ness of our blessed Lord. Death will
not destroy our growth, for with the
new experience and knowledge that 1t
brings our divine life will continue Its
spiritual development.
Christian growth finds its best illus
tration of the development of ones
divine life in the record of the life of
our Lord We are apt to overlook
in our thinking about the Master that
He passed through a period of growth.
FThorn orA loccAy@c far tn In1TY1 from
His early days, concerning which the
Bible gives only a glimpse in its pic
ture of the outward conditions Of His
development: Cody parents and
home; early familiarity with Scripture;
frequently Gods house; temptation;
prayer, the consecrating rites; service;
sacrifice" Christian growth is spiritual
1t consists of AN inner development Of
the soul. Every Christian, who grows
in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ" will develop
spiritually by his continual reaching
out for the higher attachments as he
presses toward the mark for the prize
Of the high calling Of God in Christ
Jesus" Just as the Master grew in
wisdom and favor with God and man.
so we ought to seek like Paul to develop
through spiritual growth.
Meeting the Master.
Christian growth is illustrated in this
weeks study by the development OF
Peter. For sometime he had been ar
enthusiastic follower of John the Bap-
fist. He had accepted the testimony oil
the Masters forerunners concerning the
kingdom and as waiting for the Mes
siah's coming. He first learned of the
Lord Jesus through the testimony OF
