When the Angels
Sing *
By JACK ARNOLD
Pastor, Pembroke Methodist
Church
Now that by obedience to the
truth you have purified your souls
until you feel sincere affection to
wards your brother Christians, love
one another whole-heartedly with
all your strength. You have been
born anew, not of mortal parentage
but of immortal, through the liv
ing and enduring world of God,
I Peter 1:22-3.
This very lovely passage of
Scripture portrays the factors
which bring heavenly singing and
great joy on high. Peter is writ
ing this epistle to all Christians of
his day and is describing here the
great goal of the church. He is
here facing people with what real
ly makes Cod happy. It is the
brotherly love which so many peo
ple scoff at and scorn. The proud,
the self-sanctified can’t make the
angMs sing for they are too quick
to find fault With their brothers.
TWT feel that they are right and
that everybody else is wrong. In
so doing they Commit the sin which
Jesus Christ and Paul warned
tVJcybody shout. That sin is judg
ing others as if you were com
pletely inndient. Only the inno
cent have a right to judge other
people in the religious life. And
the only innocent one is Jesus. The
Bible plainly tells us that there
will be a day of judgment and that
we should leave our judging to
Him who will judge all peoples on
that day.
When the Angels sing, they sing
backus? the "brethren are dwelling
together in unity.” They sing not
because man has overcome all his
tins, not because he has solved all
his differences, but they sing be
cause there are some people in a
community who profess Jesus u
their Lord and who love one an
other in a brotherly spirit.
A little girl and her father were
looking at a large copy of the
famous painting which portrays
Jesus with a lantern in one hand
knocking at a door with the other.
The little girl asks, “Why don’t
the people open the door, Daddy?”
Her father answered, “Well, I
don’t know.” Then she volunteered,
“Could it be because they live in
the basement and can’t hear Him
knocking?"
There are too many Christians
today who live in the basement
securely thinking that their salva
tion is won. There in the basement
they play the deadly games of
spreading unfounded rumors, gos
siping, downing the characters of
their fellow Christians, and scorn
ing the achievements of other
churches or of other Christiana.
Clovis Chappel, active preacher
in Tennessee for many years, re
marked when the deep freeze was
first being marketed, “There’s
nothing new about the deep freeze;
I've sedn them for years with
steeples on the outside and pews
on the inside.” When God’s angels
sing, you can almost hear them
when they're singing because of
the warmth of your own or your
church's religion. This is what
makes God convinced that his ef
forts have not been wasted when
the people whom He has called feel
sincere affection for one another.
How does the oft-sung hymn go?
"We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.”
Why is this brotherly love so
necessary? Peter describes it as
the natural result of people having
been obedient to the truth. And
what is this truth? The truth that
sincere seekers find is that the
mortal life is less than the immort
al; that our human parentage is
subordinate to the parentage of
Fod; that when we are born anew,
we are born into a great family
that knows none of the earthly
divisions but that is spiritual in
nature and joined together by
God; that when we are born anew,
scribed a cleansed people in his let
ter. They Were people Who Were
sincerely affectionate toward one
another because they realized that
their Lord had a deep afMrtion for
each ohs of them. Those Who Were
good enough for Jesus, were good
enough for them
