X 4 F ,, Z 'ca ias:i1.,.1,,L wrt Q , ' 1 if S 'M ' T Christus lmperator gy, CChrist is Loran w Q A: g In the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John we have given the record of an H outstanding event in the relationship of Christ and his disciples. It is the story of 5 , Thomas and Jesus in that moment of moments when the doubter is commanded to X l place his finger in the nail print, and to thrust his hand into the spear-riven side. The heart of Thomas melted within him, and in faith believing he answered: lVIy l V, Lord and my God. His doubts were swept away. They found their culmination l ,Q and climax in worship and adoration. He may have been a doubter, but to doubt is n human. The other disciples too would see before they believed. In every case the I , result was the same. To each one Jesus became Christ the Lord. I YVe too, tonight, call him Christ the Lord. Our misunderstanding hearts some- ,1 times covet an experience identical with that of the disciples. Our imagination would of lead us back with lXIary lXIagdelene toithe door of' the .empty tomb, there firstito IQ ' f meet him face to face, and first to call him, Rabbon1, which is to say lllasterug with X Peter and john into the sepulchre to witness the forsaken graveclothes: with the Q, disciples to the upper room where he breathed on them the Spirit of Peaceg or even fi y N with Thomas to be commanded to reach hither our finger. But Friends. retrospect is ,' f Q useful only insofar as it does not obscure our prospect. Our Lord promised to give ' log us a Comforter in his stead. One who should tell us the things that then we could T0 5 l not bear. One who should lead and guide us into all truth. One who should show l unto us the things of the Blaster himself. One who should be an interpreter of ' , the revealed VVord. And to this YVord we turn for a few glimpses at the lklajesty I l , of the Lord jesus Christ. One of the outstanding truths is the utterance of Paul wherein he makes him 5 6 the Lord of time, of creation, and of eternity. By him were all things created, N wg that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible. Alllthings were ' D! created by him and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist , B ' CCOI. 1:16-i7D. This sweeping utterance reaches back to the beginning, back to X 4 the infinite and the eternal. Reason follows to the brink of infinity, there to pause , and gasp at the stupendousness of the revelation. Is there actually such an one whose E A existence is not from time immemorial, but from eternityg with whom finite mortals ll I ,, are vitally connected, and thereby assured of immortality? , ' , The apostle says, In him all things consist. He is the controlling agent of 0 ii the universe which he brought into existence. The abounding and endless forms of ' life, the circling worlds, the planets seen and unseen, all have their existence, their V y 1 center, and their unity in him. He is the creator of them all. VVhether, in the - , X M heavens above, we think of the rolling spheres pursuing their trackless way through K 1 countless milleniums, or of those myriad shining intelligences who on hovering wings , 9 are ever ready at the divine command to 'post o'er land and ocean without rest' ,- li g all were created by our Christ and for him. And, whether, in the earth beneath, We r f think of its massive mountains, or its fearsome forests, or its swelling seas, or its 4 rushing rivers, or its limpid lakes, or its priceless hidden treasures, or its limitless life l 2 in the ocean, on the earth, and in the air, rational and non-rational,-all were created ' ' Q by our Christ and for him. Q , ff But this is too wonderful for us. The rationalist revolts, and the man of faith 1 S is overwhelmed. Each thinks that such stupendous truth cannot be so simply explained. , S Each would ask: Was not the universe always in existence ? But the word always A 9 involves endlessness, infinity, and we cannot conceive infinity either of things visible f will L . x x' T' ' t W f ' Z I4 iMNv ' r'r ., ' I J Y ,245 ..,.....- M .,,:fr,'24.a.,'f..fa,....msiaf?2...Q....1,-Wq?M 22
