the tribune stouffville ont thursday july 18 1946 sunday school lesson lesson for july 21 gulden text god is a spirit and they that worship liim mui wor ship hiui in spirit and in truth john 424 the jon as a whole worship is really worthship that is it means to ascribe worth to another god is the only worthy one therefore we are to worship liim alone in christ god is reveal ed in all his fullness so we are to give him the same adoration and loving obedience tl at we give to the father who is only known in his fullness as we see him in the lord jesus john 11711 some people think of every kind of religious exercise as worship but scripture does not so confuse them it distinguishes between prayer which is asking from god ministry or instruction in the word which is receiving from god and true worship which is giving to god tral is bringing to him our praise thanksgiving and the adoration of our hearts- the lord tells us that they that worship the father must worship him in spirit and in truth john 423 21 haul writes of be lievers as those who worship by the spirit and have no confidence in the flesh phil 33 literal render ing the mere performance of a ritualistic or liturgical service is not worship one might go through all the outward forms of religion and not really be occupied with the lord at all it is as our hearts are taken up with him trat we look up to god in reverent and adoring love we may worship in the silence just as truly as while the voice of praise is ascending to heaven so- called aids to worship of a material character are more of a hindrance than a help these all belong to a past dispensation when god taught his people by the kindergarten method as it were he used types and shadows to pre figures the realities of the present glorious dispensation of the holy spirit verse by verse deut 8 11 beware that thou forget not the lord thy god it is so easy to forget god in the very enjoyment of his benefits he would have us see in all his good gifts to us but more reason why we should love and honor him who is the giver of them all verse 12 when thou hast eaten and art full this is the time of danger it is the one who has no longer any sense of need who is most inclined to become unmindful of the one from whom every bless ing comes verse 13 when all that thou hast is multiplied we are in con stant danger of allowing material things so to occupy us that we undervalue the importance of ideal specifically with mans duty i gathering with the people of god for worship in his presence wealth may be a greater menace to spirit uality than poverty it is often the poor in this world who are richest in faith jas 25 while they who are determined to become rich fa into many a snare 1 tim 69j verse 14 then thine heart be lifted up and thou forget the lord to become occupied with materia things and to be lifted up with the pride of possessions is the easiest way to lose a sense of nearness to god and to forget our responsi bility ever to honor and adore his name verse is thou shalt remember the lord thy god all blessing comes from him therefore he himself should be the object of our worship and our love nor are we only to adore him for his gifts but foi himself alone verse 19 if thou forget ye shall surely perish while these words were spoken in the legal dis pensation the principle applies to day spiritual blessing is only ours as we honor god we soon decline n our experience if we forget him verse 20 ye would not be obedient god destroyed many nations because they turned from him he warned israel that such would be their fate if they refused to obey his voice in after years his words found a terrible fulfill ment for us too there can be last ing blessing only as we recognize our responsibility to honor his name isa 1030 31 they that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength physical strength does not necessarily mean spiritual power this is only ours as we learn to wait on the lord to be occupied with him and to learn in his pres ence the lessons that can be learned nowhere else when he becomes the allabsorbing passion of the soul we are lifted high above all merely human limitations thus we are enabled to soar up into the heavens as on eagles wings to run the race of the spiritual life in faith and to walk with god as enoch of old without fainting mark 1228 one of the scribes came he seems to have been an honest man he had been impressed by the sincerity of jesus christ and the clearness of his answer to the questions of others he came inquir ing which is the first command ment of all he meant of course not first in order but first in impor tance verses 29 and 30 jesus answer ed the lord our god is one lord thou shalt love the lord thy god with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy strength in these words quoted from deut eronomy 64 5 our lord epitomiz- neglect our private devotions or ed all of the commandments that toward other men he who tamest god supremely will not willinfy dishonor him in anything verse 31 the second thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self this commandment was cited from leviticus 19 is it epitomizes all the precepts that have to do with mans duty toward other men he who loves his neighbor will not desire to wrong him in any partic ular verse 32 master thou hast said the truth the scribe was deeply impressed and at once de clared his sincere appreciation of the answer the lord jesus had given he had affirmed the unity of the godhead this all scripture- taught jews held as a cardinal truth verse 33 to love him and to love his neighbour as himself u more than all whole burntofferings j and sacrifices there was real spirit- j ual discernment manifested by thisi scribe nothing ir the sacrificial ritual of the law was of anv value in the sight of god if love were lacking to love him and to lovei ones neighbor wlipieheartetllv was that which pleased god above all else verse3 1 thou are not far from the kingdom of goa nevertheless with all his appreciation of the spirituality of the teaching of the lord jesus christ this scribe was not yet in the kingdom he was as it were just outside the door to step in would mean to receive christ for himself to trust him as saviour and own him as lord the heart of the lesson god himself now revealed in christ jesus is the cfne to whom all worship and adornation is due the law could not produce this it is the direct result of the working of the holy spirit within the heart of the believer creating love for god and the desire to give him the glory due to his name worship in old testament times was in accord ance with the revelation then given which was very incomplete as com pared with that which we now enjoy since god has been fully manifested in our lord jesus his wellbeloved son and the holy spirit has come to occupy us with him and to take of the things of christ and show them unto us our worship should be of a truly spirit ual character as we draw night to god in the full knowledge of re demption h hell a looacre ranch on which upwards of 300 horses are pastured at one time is operated by alex picov who frequently
