JESUS CHRIST is often called
J the center of the Christian
faith, and with good reason. True
Christian faith is quite definite,
however mysterious some of its
aspects may be.
Just “I believe”
doesn’t make a
Christian out of
you. Mohammed-
ans believe, so do
Pharasees and
Jews and Spiri-
tualists and Mor-
mons and Budd-
hists. So, for that
*"• '*«™« matter, do Voo-
doo witch-doctors and devil-wor-
shippers. Everybody believes
something; just beiieving-in-gen-
eral isn’t Christian. It is not even
common sense. What can possibly
be meant by “believing” or
“faith” without faith in something
or somebody? \ “believer” who
isn’t in the least sure of what or
whom be believes is as pathetic
a figure as a “Goer” who has no
idea where he is geing. Just “go-
ing” trill get you nowhere; so
just "believing” gets you nowhere
either . ,
Center of grace
Christ is the center of Christian
faith, - the pole to which faith’s
compass swings. This is true first
of all because Christ is the center
of God’s grace. As the New Testa-
ment writers use that word
“grace,” they most often mean
by it the undeserved but freely
given favor of God to men. Paul
puts it in a nutshell in I Tim. 1:14:
“The grace of our Lord over-
flowed for me with the faith and
love which are in Christ Jesus.”
Grace—faith—love—Christ Jesus:
they all go together, Paul cannot
think of one apart from the rest.
The Ifind of world we have to
live in sometimes discourages us
about a God of lovb. If we believe
that God is | God of k>ve, there
must be a strong reason for our
faith, something because of which
we believe, tog offset all that In
spite of which we believe. And
this “something” is Jesus Christ.
It is because we believe bim to
be God’s gift to us. to each one
of us who will take him,—it is be-
cause we understand as St. Paul
did that Christ's life and even
death were for our sakes, that he
literally poured himself out in
sacrifice for us,—that we find in
him the center of God's grace
twtRr jg iNmbHm » _
There are many ways used in
the New Testament, by Paul and
others, to describe in metaphors
what we call Salvation—for Sal-
vation, we must always, remem-
ber, is the maih aim of all reli-
gions. Salvation is what God docs
to rid us of what despoils and
ruins us. namely sin; Salvation is
Ihe name of all that brings man
out of the “far country” and into
his Father’s home. One of the
words, used sometimes in plaie
of “Salvation,” is “Redemption,”
or literally “Buying Back.” Tue
picture is if wretched people who
are being :.*eld for ransom, sud-
denly set free through the pay-
ment of the price demanded.
Christ is the ransom, it is he who
paid the price, who was the price,
of our freedom from sin, our being
“alive to God” as Paul put it
once So Christ is the center of
redemption Without bim we would
be unredeemed. Almost in the
same sente Paul calls Christ
the Medialo. between God and
man. He is the Bridge, the Way.
It is he who opens the door to
God, it is he who breaks down
our opposition, makes us ss one
with God. Center! How could
Christ’ have any other place?
Ceatar of hep*
Because some Christians have
not seen clearly the meaning of
Christ and Christianity for this
present life and world, and have
as good as said that we don’t be-
gin to “cash in” in our faith till
after we die, other Christians
have fled to the opposite extreme;
and found the entire meaning of
Christianity in this world and
time. Today there is a swing of
the pendulum back toward where
it used to be. though not all the
way. We can sec that both ideas
are true; our religion is for today,
tomorrow and always. Christianity
is a religion cf hope, and that
needs to be remembered in dark
days like the present. This earth
will pass away, and God knew it
when be made it. But that does
not spell the end for God's people.
Christ will come again. The “ap-
pearing of our Lord Jesus Christ”
—though in ways we may be sur-
prised to see—Is a constant hope
of the New Testament. So Christ
Is again the center at faith, for
he Is the center of our hope. • .
