Our lesson today is given near
the end of the captivity of the
Children of Israel in Babylon.
The Israelites had spent prac
tically seventy years in capti
vity and had paid for their
nation’s sins. But enveloped in
sadness and dispair, they had
lost a sense of their mission as
the chosen people of God. Their
spirits were drooping.
Isaiah felt himself a mes
senger of God to declare a mes
sage of comfort. He reminded
the exiles that God's purpose
had not changed, neither had
His compassion failed. Through
the prophet, God declared that
the period of warfare and hard
ship was over: the iniquity of
the people was pardoned. Isai
ah renewed faith in God for the
covenant people. The God who
"brings good tidings" was to
restore them to their own land.
After seventy years, Jeru
salem had received her full
punishment and was pardoned.
In the economy of God, pardon is
free but never cheap. His par
don _of our sins cost the death
of His Son, therefore, we have
comfort and hope.
God never saves anyone
against their will. There is
something we must do. Isaiah
told the people to, "Prepare ye
the way of the Lord.” We,
too, must repent of our sins
and turn to God before He can
lead us out of bondage. When
we prepare the way for God
to come into our hearts, it is
as though a condemned man in
a prison cellsuddenly hears his
iron door being opened, and a
gentle voice saying, "You are
free. You have been pardoned,
free. "You have been pardoned.
Go Home!”

THE ONLY BEGOTTEN
John 3:16
THE PASTOR’S PEN
by Rev. Walter R. Evans
Butler Baptist Church
"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.” This,
our text, is often called the
"little gospel”. This verse
contains all any man must know
to be saved. As important
as all our doctrines are, aper-
son who is not saved is not
prepared to understand them.
Most of the things we really
know comes from experience.
This is true of what we know
about God. We cannot really
know with understanding the
doctrines until we know God.
In order to become a child of
God all one must know first
is that he is a lost sinner.
This is all he can know by
experience. Then one must
know that God has provided for
their salvation by the gift of
his son, Jesus Christ. Lastly,
in order to become a child of
God, one must trust, or faith, in
Jesus as Saviour from sin for
salvation. Our text contains all
that one must do in order to
become a Christian. All that one
can do is in repentance trust
Jesus to forgive them and to
save their souls.
This verse also contains
much more. The basis behind
this text is God’s love. Modern
man does not understtand this
kind of love. We love because
of what one is. This God does
also. But unlike us God loves
us in spite of what we are. He
loves us before we love him.
There is not selfishness in
God’s love. It knows no greed.
This love reveals that God is
one of no curiosity. It expresses
the knowledge, concern, and
compassion of the one true God.
His is a love that comes in
knowledge. He loves us in spite
of the knowledge that we ignore
him. He loves us even though
he knows that we fail him.
This love is behind the gift of
the Son described as the “only
begotten”. “Only begotten" is
probably the best we can do in
translation. Yet, the two terms
lack much in giving the full
meaning of the original word
used in Greek as inspired by
God. We in English just do not
have one word to give the com
plete meaning. For brevity we
will just say that Jesus is the
only one of such heredity.
Jesus is and was an only Son.
God has many .sons and daugh
ters in Christ. There is only
one Son of which he is the father.
All of his other children are
adopted.
The word not only means that
Jesus is an olnly Son, but, that
He is the only one of his kind
or specie. Many things are
strange and we do not under
stand them. Life, love, fear,
hatred, and such we know some,
things about but cannot explain.
But of the strange and unex
plainable, this Son is most
strange and unexplainable. All
men and women are born. Every
being with a backbone is a result
of two beings united. There is
no known or suspected case of
a birth without a father and a
mother. Yet this Son was born
without a father. Not only this
He was born of one who was a
virgin before and after con
ception. Jesus alone was born
of a virgin and that without
an earthly father.
The word not only means
this, but that He is the only one
like Him. There have been
many men of religion, some of
whom have founded religions.
There have been many famous
teachers, some of whom have
founded schools. There have
many so called good men, many
of who have founded movements.
Jesus is different from all
others. He was and is unique.
He was not only God’s son but
the Son of God. He was God
in the body of man. He was
like God because the Son was
God. At the same time He was
fully man. We cannot fully
understand nor explain this.
However we know it to be true
by reason of experience and
accept it in faith in God’s word
and because of what has hap
pened to us. In His life and
death the same kind of love
existed as the love that gave
Him. He is not only our Savior
but our example.
Jesus, this word also tells us,
is the only one of His sort. Men
may become children of God.
This is a possiblity for any
man who will trust in Jesus
Christ as Savior. Men have the
possibility of becoming a son of
God. But Jesus alone was born
the son of God. At birth he was
the son of God and before birth
He was the son of God. He
has always been and always will
be the Son. He was the Son
before time began and will be
after time has ended. Not only
this He alone is the Savior.
He is the only savior. He is
the only one that has been or
ever will be Savior.
There are many persons who
might give us what we want.
There are few persons who
would try sometimes to give us
what we need. Jesus is the
only one who always gives us
what we need. He is the only
one who can meet our every
need. Many ways of salvation
have been presented, yet, Jesus
alone is the only Savior. Jesus
alone wants to save. Few are
satisfied with what they are.
None of us are what we ought
to be. Jesus alone can make
us what we need'to be.
The starting place for anyone
is to trust Jesus the only be
gotten Son to save us, and to
give us guidance and strength
to become what we need to
become.
