Four friends had lowered paralyzed man through the roof so Jesus could heal him The scribes thought Jesus blas By litv Gordan Weir During year in which Can ada is being asked to examine her NAN relationships it may be Provocative but we trust ni ao constructive to suggest that Iwhat the Church and the Chris Lsn world most need is new myth Since this is an atomic age why not call it the myth of the atomic child The myth would simply declare the New Testa ment faith that Jesus is lord and also declare that expressions of love in the form of foreign aid and other creative gmlures of friendship and goodwill would contribute more to the real pur pose oi NATO than can either furthcr buildnp of military tones in Europe or the further nrengthenlng of die nuclear do torrent The myth is not something that is untrue nor is it designed to deceive 0n the contrarY Just as the parable is comparative description oi condition or truth in story form so the myth is an ancient vehicle used to ex plain the unexplainable Things an as it the my1h were true in all its details But the important part of the myth is not the de tall but the truth whidr the details are designed to proclaim The myth of Crcation declares that this is Gods world The myth oi Christmas declare that Jesus knew intimately the mind rection declares that the Jesus who met the disciples behind closed doors after he had been crueltied and buried was the game Jesus whom they had of God The myth of the Resur beoa phemed for forgiving iba man his rina Mark 117 Aware at their thoughts Jesus healed the man to demonstrate His WEEKLY MEDITATION Human Spirit Proves Stronger Than Armies known in en earthly body But cal support Can we say are all these myths have Bibll some for the myth of the atomic child its ultimate qmion la really the priority of the Goa pel vorsus the priority at the law The Glory of God we are told passed by Moses as he stood in the cleft of the rock Exodus Maud It is plain that this was prophetic experience giving Most3 and the law an abiding place in Gods plan of redemption NATO and similar projects have real splendor related to law and law chime menti it is plain however from New Testament uritings that the glory of he Gospel is des tined to surpass the glory of the law lace Our 3711 For generations we have sung of the glories of The llon Birth and wondered about the reality and the meaning the Betth hem star Whynot accept it in the same way that we accept the experience of Moses as prophetic common of The Glory of God signifying the meaning of the Gospel even for an atomic age His is the glory which transcendsthe glory of the law this is an then Jesus is really lord But is there any Biblical evidence to support this vlewl Violence tilled the land in Ezeldola day

adrolaral earlier days saw in the putting of the branch to the nose reference to the harem twigs and the temple worship in the lands troop which the Magi came If the pagan worship of Ezek lela day is
