this story we learn three things the basis of friendship his wonderful love and the liberating powerpf christianity before we can make friends of man we must make him think we are linked to god tt we would fulfil lifes des tiny we must get down beside the other fellow wc must take him by the liand and impress upon him the fact of as sociation with god jesus did this all tlirough his ministry wc must set on the level with our fellow man the love of christ is shown for humanity in the text he sighed und uus moved to compassion for the omicl ed if there was no need in the world there would be no necessity for dnd ness if we are going to maintain the trttdltiora upon which tills church was founded we must show love for those in need and if one goes with the love of christ in their heart to lielp the needy one canot fall everyone could help hi practical way no matter what the trouble or bond age was the liberating power of chris tianity will make all free there is no difficulty which cannot be overcome or any situation in which christ cannat free us if wo but take it to him but we must take him at his word th sermon was strong appeal for brothcr llness and following of the example

according to the pattern sliewed to thee in the mount when moses went up into mount sinni lie took with him part way 70 elders but completed the journey alone and when lie reuirned he brought with him tlia idea of the tabernacle of the living god many people today feel that cliris tlanity la trying kind of llfeand many go otherwise they feel that the pattern is too exacting to follow and go along otherwise tills is not so however all uuny3 must be done according to pat tern back 41 years ago when the corner stone of tills church was laid there was pattern and that pattern was followed strictly the people buck then made good bund tit lorr and we today must also build according to pat tern if we ore going to make success or life we must follow pattern jesus christ is tlie only perfect paturn and we must follow ills ckotnplo wemutv remember tliat the church toduy is simply band of people tryjfeg to follow the example of their leader jesus christ the people may swerve and vary but tlll that luttern is kept in sight religion is ones own attitude to jesus chrtit we can pretty well tell what kind of christian man is by the kind of rellgou lie lives religion is wliat we tire doing and living according to cliruit there are many today who try to make their own pattern but they make great tntyts of things we cannot get away from qod and ills laws if we do and break uiose laws we ure tile ones wlio mlfer religion la tumie tiling that cannot be ecaped we must face it if we do as god telli us he will never ujt us down in our workaday world we sltouw not let ouraelw do wliat em ployers
