Christianity is au ex- citing experience - uot a cbeap excitement, but a thrilling yen- turc. It takes away the boredom, the. frustration and the dulluess of 1f e. Theme were men who wore ready lmmediately to folloir Je- sus and to share in the fullness and excitement of Ris life. Then there were others like the Pharisees aud Sadducees irbo bad their owu iutercsts in life. They saw Jesus associatiug with people, belpiug the sick to be well again, brlngiug llght and encouragement to people who mere defeated. They saw it ahl but passed it by because tbey were notinterested ia Jesus. Then there were people like the ricb young man, 1He sair Jesus associatiug witb Ris disciples and mas aware that sometbiug wonder- fui mas happening. There was al certain purpose and victory about their lives and lie wauted it too. So, be came to Jesuis and saicl, "Lord, what must 1 do to bave etemual 1f e?" Jesus told hlmn but he did not have the nerve so he ment away sorrowin.1He bad seen. something most desirable, worthy and good but he would not take it. Jtoseph had flot consented to th~e Council, nom had he cast a vote agjaixst Jesus, but all who met had, therefore Joseph rmust have been absent. 1 am~ sure Joseph did not want Jesus to die but may- be he did not have sufficient ln- terest to kcep Hlm alive. That is what i killing the witness of Christ throughout the ,oId. There are people today who are secret disciples, who want the in- fluence of Jesus ln the w omld and lu our communities, but who do not have sufficient intcmest to keep Jesus Christ alive lu a mean- ingful way. Joseph may have been afmaid to be there and cast bis vote for Jesus. Jesus promnised Ris dis- ciples really wonderful things and among tbemn trouble. He who looks for the smootb road wlth n conflicts need pot tbink of follow- ing Jesus. Joseph iras absent when it counted, as thousands are iloday, allowing people on the other side to vote and work agaiust the things that are right and meaningful. -Josepb may have been afraid, or it may be that he didu't feel like getting out that night. Maybe he had other busi- ness and thougbt that he could do somietbing for Jesus later on, but he did not get the chance be- cause Jesus was coudemned that nlgbt and soon put to death. Josepb ought to be a lesson for us, that being- a twiligbt disciple is not a healtby position to hold. It is a "neither, nor" kind of life and it is iii sharp conflict With what Jesus said, "You cannot serve God and mammon". There, 'j All of these speak of people in general, the people wbo bave ac- cepted Jesus Christ as the way of life, have been fllled with 'Ris power and have kuowu the ex- citement of Cbristiaulty. Thr 1here is the -reat borde of people irbo do not seem to care al al They dIo not sec anythfing they waut and pas by. Also, there isi that great number of people who 10ok 0o1, desiring somnething good, I yet tbey dIo have the ne1nVe to become out-and-out Christians and tbey go away dissatisied.

The Bible tells us that Joseph of Arimathea was ant honourable counsellor irbo waited flor the Kingdom of God. Kîngdoms do flot comne by people waiting for tbemr. Kingdoms come by people seekiug them and doing the things which belp to bring them lu. Yes, Joseph was a twilight disciple, sitting back, waiting for the King- dom of God te corne and he miss- ed it. !le was onue of those lovable people irbo night have donc so much but irbo did selilttlc4 Twilight is not a "time" in life when we apply it to discifflesbip, if is an "attitude".

He will make us proper citizens for this world and it is the only way to f111 our proper, place. Many are not iuterested in, Christ.
