JESUS AND REVERENCE
FOR SPIRITUAL VALUES
vs
flw ktacdam ai Oj<J. and hla nthlaoiian—«;
•ad alf Em li mns shall be added unto
you.—Matthew 6 M
Reverence is not an incidental
thing which we may or ■ may not
choose to have in our lives. It is
vital. Reverence toward God and
the things of God will result in re-
spect for alt values in life. It will
jtsJaiue our thinking, speaking, and
1 su, u^ing toward our fellow men
as well as toward our God Our
lesson calls for
L Reverence Is Worship (Exod.
10:7; Lev. 19:12).
The Lord rightfully expects from
us a proper attitude toward him.
If we worship him as we should, we
shall find that other matters fall
into^their proper relationships.
Essential in true worship is rev-
erence for the name of the Lord, for
that name stands for all the qualities
«nri characteristics' of God. This
means that *here must be no taking
•t the name of the Lord “in vain.”
Our use of the word “vain” car-
ries the meaning of “useless, with-
out purpose or meaning.” This is
part of what is in mind in this com-
mandment, for the name of Je-
hovah is sacred and is to be rev-
erenced as standing for the eternal
God.
It is never to be used carelessly,
or for a frivolous purpose. AH too
often we tell jokes or stories which
have no real purpose or meaning ex-
eept to elicit a laugh, and in them
me use the name of God. We all
seed to exercise care at that point.
The Hebrew word translated
**vain“ has the additional meaning
rf “evil” and “falsehood.” Men are
se bold that they may even use the
■erne of God to support themselves
to a lie. God hears and will in no
Wise hold them guiltless
II. Reverence to Words (Matt. 5:
*47).
The Sermon on the Mount (so-
called), from which this portion of
Scripture is taken, is difficult to in-
terpret to the satisfaction of all.
Some disregard Its evident applica-
tion to the kingdom and, attempting
to agfRr R to the midst of an un-
godly generation, fall into such jjn-
that they abandon me
effort and regard the teaching of the
passage as impossible idealism.
Others, who rightly interpret the
passage as presenting the laws and
principles of life in the kingdom of
God,. pdien it shall be fully set up
on earth with Jesus as King, fail to
mike any application of those prin
ciples to life. This is also an un-
fortunate error
We who follow the Lord Jo \i« are
not to swear by either things sa
cred or things thai might b; called
secular. Perhaps he has in mind
that our lives should be so true that
men-will not need to have any kind
of oath to be assured of our sin
cerity and honesty.
Swearing should be entirely be
yond the pale with Christian men
and women. It is all too common
with both men and women One
fears that this is true not only in
the world, but among professed be-
lievers in Christ. Let us stop it!
III. Reverence in Works (Mark
7:5-8).
Words which do not issue m works
are worse than meaningless. They
lead to acceptance of a formal re-
ligious system which is dangerous
“It gives a Sense of religious sat-
isfaction which is very superficial,
but of some apparent value. It car-
ries w)ith it no high ethical demands.
It helps a man to feel religious with-
out being either ethical or moral.
It does not probe or arouse. It
soothes and calms” (W. R. White).
Who will deny that much of the
church life of our day has reached
that same kad state of “much ado
about nothing”—talk, talk, talk, and
no honest disposition to deal with
sin, or to seek holiness of life. The
Lord hates it, and it is a vain exer-
cise els far as spiritual results are
concerned.
IV. Reverence in Will (Mark 8:
34-36).
Here true reverence shows itself
in recognizing that God’s will is
“good and acceptable and perfect”
(Rom. 12:1).
Following the Christ of Calvary
call! for a willingness to say no
to self (literally, to deny any con-
nection with aelf-life) and to follow
through with him on the path of
shame and crucifixion. ' No self-
will and no compromise are per-
missible to Christ’s disciples.
Foolishly to attempt to hold one’s
life for self is to lose it. That pain-
ful loss has left brokenhearted,
wrecked lives all along the path of
man’s history. But why should
anyone do it?
Equally foolish is the one who
supposes that this world has any-
thing to satisfy the human soul. As-
timing the possibility of the impos-
sible—that is, attaining the whole
world as one’s own possession—to
do so at the cost of one’s soul would
be an indescribably poor bargain.
