SERlMONEETE
By TilIie Turner


liVered the message at our union
| meeting last Wednesday night. We
were glad to hear so great a SER
mon. believing in our hearts that
Rev. Tomlin's life is holy life and
acceptable unto God. He first testi-
fled how our Lord had so wonder
fully blessed him and brought him
through two major operations and
restored his health, while in the
hospital Men were dying on every
side of him but he came through
and thanked the Lord for being
so good to him. He said he didn't
have to make a New Years resOlu-
ton. his resolution has been made
to God through faith and he means
to forever keep that resolution be-
cause he must work out his own
soul salvation.
Rev. Tomlin said, now let us con-
slider Matt. 3:13. We want to talk
of the life of Christ for as lie
suffered in the flesh, we must Suf-
fer likewise. He suffered even unto
Geath. He came to John to be bap-
tized of him, but John forbade
Jesus, saying l have need to be
baptized of you. John knew chat
he was baptising unto repentance.
but John knew Jesus need not 10
repent and why did He insist upon
Jrhn baptising Him. John knew the
baptising signified confession and
refentance but Jesus answered
John saying suffer this to be so
now for thus it becometh us to full
fill all righteousness. Jesus was
laying a pattern for us. He went
through that we may do likewise.
He tasted those 40 days and nights
not for Himself but for us that we
may have that spirit always.
He will nct suffer nothing 20
come upon us that we are not able
to bare, unless we are drawn away
on our own lust. Jesus suffered in
every way even on the cross. 1t
wasn't John or Peter or Paul or
any other person that suffered for
us, for they, like us, had to work
out their own salvation. But it was
Jesus who died for us; Jesus who
said not my will o God but thine
be done. Nc wnoder He is coming
back again for that righteous
church, for He alone suffered for
it. Acts 4:7-12. It was only through
His suffering that the important
man stood beore Jesus, it was only
through Jesus that he could be
made whole. Rom. 9:22. Jesus en-
tiured long suffering and He made
it so that we may also endure suf-
fering as He did. We must endure
;hese things if we want to make it
in safety.
/ Sometimes it seems hard for us
% hold our peace and let God fight
our battles. AS Peter denied Jesus
anG Judas betrayed Him, He did
not scold them He was humble, for
We say we, are going through. Are
humble is the way. st. Mark As.
We? Don't forget - takes soldier
20 go through. We just have 10
make that mark of 100. We know
that and now 1872 won't do. We
sh uld want to go through. Think
about who we shall see face TO face
if we go through. Consider Him.
| Our Lord. He never f1iled US bu'
He paid the price. Your life is IN
His hands. The wind and the rain
is in His hand The whole world Is
in His hands. Old satan is nlghty
bu. Jesus is Almighty. | am GLAD
for Him and in His name, L am
enduring all of my suffering. J. an
.saNing, Yes, Lord, l have fai'h
enough to Know wherever L go OF
whatever happens, my God is Wlth
me. Peter 3.10-11.
We love life So dearly. we want
to see good days always. We want
TO refrain our tongue from evil and
lirs that we speak ~ guile. "oun
