New A ork City. —The following sermon
is one prepared for publication by the
Bev. J. Wilbur Chapman, America’s best
known evangelist, who is now preaching to
overflowing congregations in this city. It
is entitled “The Bow in the Cloud,’’ and is
founded on the text, Genesis 9: 13, “I do
set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be
for a token of a covenant between Me and
the earth.”
It may seem at first thought as if this
were a queer text to choose from which to
give a gospel message, and yet all the
works of God are so wonderful that one
hasbut to get the key to unlock the door
leading into them to find them tilled with
sweetness and with help. The rainbow is
no exception to this rule. It is harcjly
possible for one to look upon the, bow that
spans the clouds after a storm without an
exclamation of delight.
One would think that it would grow mo
notonous, for we have seen it so many
times, but quite the opposite is true. Sun
sets differ; they are as unlike as two things
could possibly be. Indeed, it must be t'rffe
that one is never like the other. But rain
bows arc always the same. And yet in
spite of this we are charmed as we look,
and inspired as we study.
The first mention of a bov, - is in th.e
text. It is not said that, this is th'e first
time the rainbow has appeared, for from
the very nature of the ease it has always
been in existence since the worlds began
to be, but this is said to be the first use
of it. The last mention of a rainbow is
Revelation 4: 3: ‘'And He that sat was to
look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone;
and there was a rainbow round about the
throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”
You notice that the expression used is
“round about the throne,” and here for the
first time we find a rainbow in a complete
circle.
We have only seen the half of it here,
which is surely an illustration of the fact
that in this world at best we only get the
half of things. We only get the half of
truth. Take the great doctrine of the
AtonemeJk; who is able to understand it?
But it i-"ery helpful to know that we are
not obliged to understand it, but only to
receive it.. God is satisfied with it, and
He fully comprehends it, and when we
stand with Him in glory we shall see the
other half of the bow, and our hearts shall
rejoice. We only see the half of life here.
At its best it is a mystery. Over and over
again, when we wanted to go to the right
we were compelled to turn to the left, and
a thousand times because of our perplexi
ties and trials we have cried aloud:
“How can these things be?”
Eiit we must learn the Ifsson that we
must trust Him where we cannot under
stand Him. The day will come, when
"seated at His feet we shall see the other
half of the bow of our life, and we shall
know indeed that all things have worked
together for good.
The last mention of the bow in Revela
tion tells us that it is to be like an emer
ald. This is certainly very strange, for
one has never beheld a green rainbow
here. Six other colors must be added to it
to make it complete. The color, however,
is not without its suggestiveness. Green
is the color that always rests the eye. It
is for this reason that the hillsides, the
waving branches of the tree, and the grass
beneath our feet, are so restful on a sum
mer day. Is not this a hint that heaven
is a place of rest as well as beauty?
There are three primal colors in the
rainbow, red, yellow and blue. If you
drop the yed and put the yellow and blue
together you have green as a result. Red
is the color of suffering. Surely it is a
hint as to the thought that when one
passes through the gates of pearl he leaves
suffering behind him. There is to he no
red mark in heaven. Christ finished His
sufferings upon Calvary, and never a pang
shall meet Him again. We finish our suf
ferings, too, when we say good-hve to tills
weary road we have traveled, and the gatG
of heaven that shuts us in shuts suffering
out.
I.—THE CLOUD.
We know what the cloud was for Noah
(for this text which I have quoted has to
do with him), and a cloud in Noah's day
was not unlike the cloud of yesterday;
but in the thought of tl*e sermon the cloud
is sin.
It would make one heartsick to read the
history of sin. First, in the world, begin
ning with Adam, going to Noah, reaching
the howling mob about the cross on Cal
vary, coming down to the present day,
when the whole world seems to be touched
with its power, the most tenable thing in
the world is sin. Second, in the home,
blighting and blasting that which is &
tym- of heaven, and wrecking that which
God meant, to be a safe vessel to carry ns
through the turmoils and strife ever round
about us. Third, in our own heart, giving
us wrong conceptions of God, and drag
ging us toward hell, even against our will.
The blackest thing in all the world is sin. j
The cloud does two things: (1) It ob
scures the sun. The cloud of sin does the
same thing. No one ever yet tons nan a
true vision of Jesus Christ whh the ica-t
particle of sin in his heart or lire. “Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they shad set
God.” , ,
A poor fellow converted in one oi t.ic
missions in Chicago, who thought be
fore his conversion to bc liardly worth the
saving, was so wonderfully transformer,
that a committee waited upon him to vm r
the secret of his changed life. He answered
their question in just one sentence:
“I have seen Jesus. ’
This vision ever changes the life and
transforms character.
(2) The cloud c-c-mpels us to see tiling
in a false light. God made the weak- oi
His hand* to be seen in the sunlight. \\ c
must not judge them under the cloud. And
with the cloud of sin across a mans mind
he can have r.o real conception of the
Bible; he must certainly-be prejudiced
against the church. Scatter the darkness
that hovers over your mind* and the Bible
will become to you the very thought ot
God, while the church will Compel your ad
miration.
II.—ACROSS THE CLOUD GOD CAS 1
HIS 80W...
To see a bow three thing- are necessary.
First, there must be a c'.oeid; we certain,v
have that in the world's -in. Second, the
sun must he shining: we have this conn:;
tion met in the fact that God is light, and
in Him there is no darkness at all. ih-rd.
the rain must be falling. We have this :u
Isaiah 155: 10. 11 —“For as the r .in coir.eth
down, and the snow.from heaven, cud re
'■ • .
turneth not thither, hut watereth the
earth, and maketh it bring forth and hud,
that it may give seed to the sower, aud
bread to the eater; so shall My Word be
that goeth forth out of My mouth: it. shall
not return unto Me void, but it shall ac
complish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto 1 sent it.”
Or, we might put it—first, in order that
we may be ijaved. we must acknowledge
ourselves to be sinners. This is the cloud.
Second, we must have some conception of
God’s hatred of sic. This is the light.
Third, we must he persuaded that He
loved us aud_ gave Himself for us. This is
the rain. With these conditions met. the
hoiV of promise spans the cloud of a sinful
life.
III.—THE SEVEN COLORS.
If I should hold a prism in my hand and
the light of day should touch it, there
would be refracted at once seven colors,
as follows: Red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo and violet. There never has
been a rainbow-in this world hut these
have been seen in mpre or less prominence.
In my message r.ftw. the prism is the cross,
and the light, is God’s truth. As it strikes
this long prism it breaks up into seven
colors The seven together give us the
rainbow.
First, forgiveness. Psalm 32: I.—“ Blessed
is he whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.”
The word forgiven means taken off.
What n wonderful thought it ied Ob,
what a load of sin we had to carry! How
it did weigh us down! How day and night
we went crying aloud, saying, “Oh,
wretched man that I am. who shall deliver
me?” Resolution never lifted it a particle.
Reformation only-seemed to make it heav
ier. Then He came, and stooped down, or
whispered to us just one swe.et word,
“Forgiven!” and when we realized it the
burden was taken off. To receive all of
this we have hut to yield to God. Trying
to make ourselves better only adds to the
cloud and deepens our despair.
The ec-eond color is cleansing. Psalm 51:
7—“ Purge me with bysson. and I shall be
clean: wash me, and I shall he whiter than
snow.”.
The little bunch of hyssq® carries us
hack to the Passover night, when the
lamb was slain and its blood .collected. It
was not said that one should take a brush,
hut a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the
blood and sprinkle the posts of the door.
The commonest thing that grew in the
East was hyssop. It represents faith. One
had hut to step to the door of the cottage
and stoop down to pluck a hunch of hys
sop. The commonest thing in all this
world is faith. We haye faith in each
other, whether we express it in this word
or not; and the faith that one has in his
mother, in his father, in wife or husband,
if turned toward Jesus Christ would saye
his soul. It is one thing to he forgiven, hut
the color deepens, and th% truth sweetens
when we know that because of the shed
blood of .Testis Christ we may he made
clean. “The blood of Jesus Christ His
Son eleanseth us from all sin.”
The third color is (justification. Ro
mans 4: 25—“ Who was delivered for our
offences, and was raised aga-in for our jus
tification.”
One might he perfectly sure of hif for
giveness. and know that it meant sin
taken off, and might be confident of his
cleansing, hut thcie is tie memory of the
old life of failure which j ever to him like
a shackle when lie wouldlrun to God. Jus
tification is sweeter by Jar than anything
we have yet learned, t’hen Christ rose
for our justification He itood before God
as a kind of receipt (as-John Robertson
has said), and when God looks upon that
receipt He knows the hilliis paid.
“Jesus paid it all. All tot Him I owe.
Sin had left a bitter stall, He washed it
white as snow.” I
But justification is evet better to me
than this, for when one iajtistified before
Cjod he actually stands as if he never had
sinned.
The fourth color is—sinsfcovered by the
sea. Micah 7: 19 —“He willturn again, He
will have compassion upon ts; He will sub
due our iniquities; ami Thlu wilt cast all
their sins into the depths oi the sea.”
It is very comforting to Mow that there
are some’depths in the oeeai so deep that
they can never be sounded. Our sins must
have gone as deep. < j
There is also another thught of com
fort; if a "body is cast into tit- ocean where
the waters are not very dap, when the
storms come and the ocean'is in a fury,
the storm, as if with giant hajds, takes the
dead body and easts it unh the shore.
But there are depths in thasea so great
that no storm that has ever yelswept across
the face of the deep has s-tivra the waters.
Thanks he unto God. our sipanay he sunk
so deep in the sea that they rill never be.
cast up against us again. TM color deep
ens and the tenth grows sweetV still.
The fifth color is—sins l-emfred. Psalm
103: 12—“As far as the cast is from the
west, so far hath He remove! our trans
gressions from us.” -I
It has been proved that tie distance
from east to west could neve he meas
ured. This is certainly instting.' But
there is something better for nj than this
in the fifth color, for when I al told that
my sins are as far from me as'he east is
from the west I know that th east and
tiie west can never be brought together:
nor can the saved sinner and hilpardoned
sins ever meet again.
The sixth color is Isaiah 44: 21-“I have
blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy . ansgres
sions, and, as a cloud, thy sins; turn un
to Me, for I have redeemed thee
A man cannot blot out his :vn sins.
Some have tried it with their Ir*, and
have lost -their reason. Some have at
tempted it by works of mc-rcy, hd have
given up in despair. But God On easily
do it. For sins to he blotted uti may
mean the same as for man’s accotjKo be
blotted out. I may have a hill .r.rged
against me on the books, but if on. he op
posite side is credited a sufficient* am of
money to meet the indehiednes lit is
blotted out. But the expression m‘"l:ner.n
more than this. It means that who one’s
sins are blotted out by God they q as if
they never had been.
The seventh color -ferns the cli', x of
all. Ezekiel 33: 16—“ None of his Sp that
he hath .committed shall he rcentirni un
to him; he hath done that which iatnvful
and right: he shall surely live.” /
We have an idea that, althoty.qh O sin*
have been forgiven and wt may havbc-cti
justified, when the great day- of jucnent
comes we may he obliged to , meet thy all
■gain. But this is not true.
for all hath He put away : sin by tiivac
rifiee of Himself, and the sins of ouiives
shall not again be mentio-ned to us.
IV —GOD'S COVENANT.
The bow was God's eovsnant then, otv
God’s covenant is.eHi® Word, and ion
this Word we may depend Noticcvhe
number of times God /uses the expresim,
“I will.’’ in Exodus Vi 6 ‘S:
“Wherefore, say j“ n t° the ehildrertof
