After the wedding trip, the couple are making their home in Butler. 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!” SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEWS Please enter my subscription Ip The Taylor County News. Enclosed Is $ for .... years subscription.

THE CITIZENS STATE BANK BUTLER, GEORGIA (Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) 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.
