The Pembroke State Bank Big Enough Tn Sme You ’ ' Sinan Lnough - To hnuw Yuu Member' r eneral Deposit Insurance Corooratton Vol. GO, No. 40 The Victory By JACK ARNOLD Pastor, Pembroke Methodist Church . thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Cbrnithians 15:57. Dr. Raymond de Ovies was for many years Dean of the Cathedral of the Episcopal Church in Atlanta. He relates that as a boy in his homeland of England it was the custom to go into c emet eri os around old churches at night and catch sparrows The boys would catch them when the sparrows were asleep and carry them home to their mothers who would pre pare a surprisingly delicious pie with them. The sparrows roosted at night in the vines around the churches. Usually a large group of the boys would go together. One night Mrs. de Ovies wanted ■some sparrows. Not being able to find any of his friends, young-Ray mond went to the cemetery alohe. As he was walking along in the dark night, his feet suddenly slip ped out from under him and down he went into a freshly dug grave. Suppressing his fear by thinking that there was nothing of-’WMoh to be afraid, he remained calm. In a moment he attempted to climb out. But the soft dirt around the rirn would not allow him to do so. So he decided .to just, wait there. Presently he hebrd whistling He knew that it must be someone else walking alone- in the . cemetery. People often whistle under such circumstances because it helps them to keep up their courage. When the person gut closer, he r< . oi-.m/ed tin wlu th- a la-longing to his friend Charley. Raymond was afraid to yell out for he knew that it would -send Charley a-run ning. So he decided to wait until his friend got very near where he was and speak to him in a quiet voice and tell him of his predica ment. While he was still thinking, he heard a sliding sound, felt crumbling dirt fall about him and heard Charley drop into the hole with him. Charley made several unsuccessful attempts to climb out. Raymond could not resist the temp tation. In a very spooky voice he said, “Can’t you let a man enjoy his own grave in peace.” The re sults were electric. Charley went out of that grave like he had sprouted wings. He had never ex erted such power in his life. Fear i eleased a potential energy in the boy which released amazing hidden power. Just as the boy in this story won a victory over the grave that im prisoned him through a hidden power, so through faith in Jesus Christ can we win the victory over sin ,and death. But there must be some way in which we can discover the key that unlocks the door to the. mysterious power of faith in our lives. The victory over shi and death, contrary to what many people believe today, does not come through human nature or through scientific advancement. The Bible tells us of away and there is no good reason to believe that there is any other way. The way that the Bible describes is through Christ Jesus. But what does it mean to get the victory through Christ Jesus? First, it means to practice the precepts that He taught. People can’t expect to get the victory over sin if they don’t love their enemies. Many painful experiences in life can be avoided by people who in sist on disliking and hating, if they obey Jesus. A man who does not attempt to curb lustful thoughts or acts cannot expect the victory over sin. Actually it means to want to be like Jesus. Some will say that the Bible was writ ten for another day and that Jesus’ precepts as given in the Sermon on the Mount do not apply today. But experience has proven that those who win the victory over sin in their lives are those who literal ly apply the teachings of Christ Jesus to their lives and genuinely repent of those things wherein they have failed to follow Jesus Second, it means to face death us He faced it. Humans in our frailty can't help but have a tinge of fear concerning death. But if we are to be victorious over the grave, it boils down to the fact that we must be submissive to the « JX.
