Being Somebody

by Richard A. Gaenslen, Pastor, Sitka Luth h era n Church
 Some white men had been entertained in an African vil- Iage. When they left, they gave the natives a sundial aS N parting gift The black men enjoyed the gift very much. One day one of them said,
 It is a shame to let it stand outdoors without protection. So they built a little hut of branches and palm leaves, in what happened It could no which they placed the sun- dial We know, of course, longer tell the time of day.. The bIack men did not under- stand that a sundial can tell time only when 1t is in the sunshine.
 Me .s mil e at the folly of these men, but perhaps We act just as foolishly. Do We not neglect Gods Word from which the light of truth shin- es upon our Way? No wonder then, that our lives show the bad effects of poor lighting, NO W ond er that we stray from the right pathl
 This story brings to mind V modern day heresy Which is believed in and religiously practised on all sides the be- lief that the goods deeds ot men of good will produce Al life pleasing to God If this were so, the coming of Jesus Christ upon the human scene was a waste of time and a needless shedding of blood.
 If Christ's coming is to make amy sense, it must mean He alone is able to supply a dimension and w light from Beyond Which can make uS tho kind of people we ought to be, the kind that God wants us to be.
 If on the other hand, N choose to fashion my life and make myself into the self- styled sort of fellow that will assure me of popularity and success, if N Work hard enough at it, | will no doubt become popular and success full. One thing you can.be sure of though, \ will mot he a man of faith, \ child of God.
 But this IN what wc must learn to be Mhat word do We have from Him whose nigh ty hand sustains the earth lnd alI that She contains 7 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is mot Your own doing, it is the gift of God not because Of works lest any man thould boast.
