THE EDITOR'S MESSAGE Losing Self ----- Serving Christ In order to find life onei must lose it. This is -a strange paradox, but it is a fact that all must agree to. The seed that is placed into the soil is intended to sprout, come forth as a tiny stalk, and .grow into full beauty and maturity. But there can no life come forth unless there is death first. The seed must die, and through death comes a new life., As with the temporal and physical, so with the spiritual. Jesus said, Wwhosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's the same shall save it.N The Apostle Paul also teaches this basic truth in Rom. 6, and 2 Cor. 4:lO,llg 7:5. Every normal human being desires to live to the fullest ex- tent possibleg but it is a sad fact that many folks do not want to live by the death route. Even many Christian pro- fessors do not like to hear anything about this great Biblical truth. But Jesus said it is the only way to enter into life. , In order to experience 'this new, happy, full life, a three-fold vision is neoessary.This fact is vividly portray- ed in Isaiah's vision, Isa. 6. First, Isaiah saw Jehovah en- throned amidst splendor and gloryg and this wonderful vision prepared him for the steps that followed. This too, is the first requisite for us in losing self---beholding by faith- the glory of the crucified, risen,ascended and exalted Lord. After this Isaiah saw himself, and what a sight he saw!
