unday Preaches Sermon on “The lqc;qrngtion of Jesus” Sunday tght on the Ho sald: Text, John 1:M, “The Word was made lesh and dwelt among us." Jesus Christ fa a world of thought ere are vast continents and ocesna that ver will be traversed by any mind or inds. 1 belleve that in Jesus there are vast bjects which no mind has ever fath- ed or ever will, such as His deity, His . His incarnation, His personal- ity, and His plan for the redemption for | the world, and influence. Although the | @reatest minds the world ever produced have all tried to master these, they have | been convinced after noble and laborious | effort that there are vast regions of | thought which stretch out way beyond | their horizon or comprehension. | All say their experience is analogous o that of Isaac Newton, who, in attempt 115} to describe his search after knowl- edge, sald he felt like a little boy walk- fng by the seashore, here and there occa- #lonally picking up some pebbles, while the vast deep rolled unexplored at his Teet. And since that is the experfence of great men, and, wise men, it would be the Bipt absurdity In me at this time, to | empt to discuss these subjects. T wish | this afternoon to call your attention to Just one phase of the subject, namely, the incarnation of Jesus. Webster defines it: *As the taking of the human body; the WOt of clothing with flesh.” No Ome Knows All About God T wish to speak of it as a mystery, as | @ revelation, and as a prophecy. To be | convinced that it is a mystery you need only to study the teachings of the Bible about the incarnation of Jesus. The Bible always presents a subject in the simplest of language, and never attempts an ex- planation. The fullest; simplest accounts are found in John &nd Paul's episties. The Jews took up stones to stone Him, mnd Jesus said: | ‘“Many good works have I showed you | from the Father; for which of those | works do you stone Me?" | The Jews answered Him: “For @ good work we stone Thee not, bulheuun You blaspheme God." preached Wednesday Incarnation of Jes: | V{hat familiar words these are. But why upderstands them? But they must | | e understood before you can understand | | the basis of the incarnation. | “n the beginning was the Word and the Word became flesh and dwelt among "us."” jat means that God became man “eame Incarnate In the flesh. Who ® all about God? I know svmething Fiout God and you know something about 0d, but no man or woman ever lived that knew all about God. S0 God, or a thing, or an object, or a being, is a mystery when there is about God or. that object, or being, or thing, that which you cannot understand. That watch is a mystery. 1 can under- stand the time on it, but I do not under- stand about the wheels and all, so that becomes a mystery to me when there are things about it that I can’t understand. | S0 anything is a mystery when there 15\ about It that which you cannot under- sx}:l. For all scholars will agree that's what it means, but on the scene comes the fool, who says, “I won't belleve what T can't understand,” but you do every day thatryou live. You bélleve that you cannot understand, ‘Take r¢ason. What is that? Reason is that faculty of mind with which we trace | the relation of causes and effects and | Phenomena, and that which leads up to | and causes the phenomena and offect, | What is it by which you trace the cause ©f the effect? It is reason. What Is reason? It is ths | faculty by which you trace the relation | ©f cduse and effect. 8o you see that you are a wheel within | @ wheel, Where did reason come from and what does it consist of? Do you believe that u have reason? Yes. Reason has dnml | MWy things. Reason has penetrated far futo Eclence. Reason can tell you to- night fifty, years from now the minute| ‘when the eclipse will take place or when | e certain comet will swing within the vision of the human eye, What Reason Says. says, give the body drink, Rea- | mon says, give it food. I do that, there- | fore my life is preserved, because I care ] for my body according to my knowledge— eertainly, But there are a whole lot of things mbout myself that I don't know. But do W refuse to care for myself because there /re & lot of things that I don’t know? Can you trace the circulation of the ®lood? No, you will get balled up in two minutes, Do you understand how food as- similates to the body, and makes hair, and corpuscles and veins, and bones, and ‘lnlllclu No? Well, will you refuse to eat because you ha | t4 understana? hen there are lots of things that peo- ®le don't understand. Then don't you butt into God because there are lots of thihgs that you can't understand. You Door fool, there are a lot of things that you can't understand that you believe. fHere are mysteries on every hand. I am compelled to belleve, or cease to exist, o how. Listen. We have a philosophy in our day that is omniscient. If we accept this testimony they are both wrong. The ‘world is held In placa.by two forces called the centripedal and the centrifugal, and f one says: “I want to get away from the center,” and the other wants to go to the center, and the operation of the two forces produces what we call the force of | gravity, and prevents us from flying off on a tangent. | What is the force that produces mo {tlon? What is the motion? The motion |48 the result of force; and that is as far | @8 your philosopher will go and he will | pash in. | Nobody ever saw, felt, or measured lorce. You stmply see, hear, or feel the fects. You don't see force. You say when that arm struck this arm, and you hear when the hands come to- @ether, but you didn't see the force. You pimply saw the effects of force. I shoot a gun, You hear when the gun goes off. You see when the bullet strikes. You feel it if it hits you. But you do not see the force at all. Yoéu just simply feel the effects of force. So force Is a mys- pery. Now I' think that that is enough to show any reasonable man—and you all Jook reasonable. You don't any of you bughouse. not sense enough W Plays on Hearts ns on Keys. Rxplain to me the influence o Jesus in moving men and women to great things, to do mighty deeds. Nome was ever equal to Jesus Christ in | of Jesus CI From the beginning of His earthly career 2,000 years ago until today, in Omaha. He has been molding and shaping the lives of men and women. Our hearts are like a great big plano each heart is like a key, to which He sits | and upon which He plays. He bringe forth sounds and notes of sorrow and sin then great hallelujahs and triumphs over the world and the flesh and the devil, He knows the capacity of the human heart. He knows all about i. xplain why it is men and women come down the aisles and take my hand. That explains why it s It is the name of Jesus Christ moves you to do great and noble deeds That explains why it is that the name ist appeals to you and lea the booze fighter to cut it out, and the thief to steal no more, and the accus'ng | man He makes pray leave sin and iniquity. That explains to me why it i that Jekus Christ moves men and women to do mighty deeds. But into the scene butts the infidel | He swells out his chest, some little two by four, and he says “Look here, Mr. Sunday.' What is it?" : “How "do you nccount for the fact | that so many intellizent men and women | of the world disbelieve in Christianity?" | Listen to me. It is just the opposite. There has never been a time in the his- tory of this world when the divinity of Jesus Christ and the Inspiration of that | Book has been more generally accepted and firmly belleved by the intelligent men and women that live in your day and mine. And for you to sneer and scoff at Jesus Christ and the Bible is a sign that vou are a fool. Disbelievers Live in Sin, Tell you another thing: listen to me A man or a woman becomes too pro- | gressive to be a Christian. Whenever you become too intelligent to belfove In the Bible as the Word of God then your Influence as & business assoclate and as a companion for others is at an end. Don't you be hocdwinked, young man, Into supposing that to be a dowubter le evidence of a superior intelligence. It is evidence of a pigmy intellect or a black heart, one of the two, and I have never met a man in my life that disbelieved that the Bible was not the Word of God who wasn't living in sin. When I can get him to glve up sin he doesn't have much trouble about belleving. Explain to me why it is that mis- slonaries leave their homes and leave their bones bleaching on the sand hills. People don't leave their homes and go to lurope and all that for Shake- peare, Explain to me why missionaries kiss their loved ones good-bye and go out and live in foreign flelds. Say! I am going to believe these things. I see sinners being saved, drunk- ards made sober men, and women being transformed. How are you going to dis- believe all you hear sweeping our land? Accept’Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the rest will become easy. Listen. If the embassy of the Chinese dynasty sixty-five years after Christ had come had gone 1,600 miles farther south in their search,” China would be Christian today instead of pagan. I tell you it is the followers of 'this Christ that make the world what it s today. “The ‘word became flesh and dwelt among us.” And lastly, it is a prophecy not so much of a foretelling. I am prophesying His name. I am telling you that by faith the drunkard can be made sober. I am telling you that the llar can be made truthful. I.am telling you that God will transform you, it you will ac- cept Him as your Christ. Listen. If a man starts out to live the kind of a life he knows he ought to live, sooner or later something happens to make him realize how far short he ls of reaching his ideal. Here is a man that wants to be gen- erous, he finds himself a rasping, grasp- ing, squeezing old skinflint. Here is 2 man who concludes he wants to be truthful and he finds himself a Mar, » Here is a man who wants to be a pure man and he finds himself a libertine. And here is a man that wants his hands to reach out, his mouth to be filled with words of praise and message of love and he discovers that they are frequently filled with obscenity and profanity and in his failure to reach his ideal he gets discouraged, Here is a man who wants to be sober and he falls off the water wagon. He wants to pray and he cusses; he wants to be honest and he steals. Now, in his failure to reach his high Ideals every man starts out to live the kind of life that he knows he ought to live.
