GROWTH IN CHRIST
LESSON TEXT—Luke 2:40-52; II Peter
1:1-8.
GOLDEN TEXT—But grow in grace, and
In the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.—ll Peter 3:18,
Growth is a normal thing. We
expect it of the child, and when it
fails we know that something is
wrong. Just so there is something
very decidedly wrong in the life of
the Christian who fails to grow in
grace. If a child fails to grow we
are alarmed, but if a Christian does
not grow we hardly notice it, or at
most only express our regret. We
j need a revial.
I. Norma! Children Will Grow
(Luke 2:40-52).
While Christ was God manifest in
the flesh, He was at the same time
true man, and as a boy He devel
oped and grew in a normal way.
Unless we meet the tragedy of ar
rested development we need have
no concern about the fact that d j
child will grow physically, mentally I
and spiritually. The Lord has
j placed in the babe in a mother’s
I arms the potential qualities of the
man or woman to come. Our chief |
j responsibility is to provide Ibe op
! portunity for the development of
i those abilities and qualities which
the child has, and of guiding that
{ growth in the right direction.
That is all a parent has to do, but
it is enough to call for all the wis
dom, judgment, patience and skill of
the best of us. Yes, and even that
is not enough, we need the wisdom
of God and His grace upon our lives
to do this vital work as we ought.
The qualities in a boy or girl
which will count gloriously for God
may be dreadfully effective for
Satan if we permit him to get con
trol of our children. May God help
us to be alert and skillful in rearing
our boys and girls.
While it is true that we can do
j more for the guidance of physical
and mental growth than spiritual
(because that is a matter of the
grace of God), we can lead the steps
of the little child to the house of
i God; we can teach him to pray
and to trust God, and we can set an
1 example of godly living before him.
; That is all we can do; but again we
j say, it is enough to demand our best
! effort and more.
11. Normal Christians Will Grow
! (II Pet. 1:1-8).
i In Christ there arc “all things that
I pertain unto life and godliness.”
j There is no need of some added cx-
I perience, or some new and striking
j enducement, for all the unbelievably
great possibilities of Christian grace
and growth are in Him. We need
only to recognize that fact and yield
to Him, and there will be the full
development of Christian life and
experience.
We have, in practice, so far de- j
parted from the normal in Christian J
life that we can hardly believe that i
the above is true. In place of the i
normal Christian life according to |
God’s standard, we have established i
a standard based on the average j
Christian life. If we equal it we I
arc satisfied, and if perchance we
surpass it we count ourselves among
the “more spiritual” ones. And all
the time the average standard is
far below the normal Christian life
I which God not only expects, but is
j Vettv’y to enable and empower us to
live.
Peter (ells us in this passage that
| the great and precious promises of
j God in Christ are not only to enable
us to escape the corruption of this
sinful world, but (o go on to a place
where we will neither “be barren
nor unfruitful” Christians. How will
this come about? Verses 5-7 tell us.
Faith supplies in itself (rather
than “add to," v. 5), if there is
“diligence” (that is, true Christian
devotion), a number of other splen
did qualities. First comes “virtue”
—really moral courage, or nobility
of character. What a fine step for
ward! Then comes “knowledge,"
that is, a discernment which will
give practical skill in effective daily
living for Christ. Such spiritual dis
cernment will naturally lead to
“self-control” something much
needed by most Christians.
The self-controlled one will always
have “patience,” that is, the en
durance to stand every hardship and
trial. We need to be more patient
not only with others, but also with
ourselves, even in this matter ot
Christian growth of which we are
speaking.
A life like that is a life of "godli
ness,” which will blossom out into
real “brotherly kindness.” There
isn’t too much of that in the world
today, even among Christians. Let’s
revive it! Then what? The one
who loves his brother will love the
whole world (charity, in v. 8, should
read “love”). Why not? Are we
not all brethren, who know Christ,
regardless of race, position or
creed?
Let such virtues “abound” (v. 8),
and no Christian life will lack in
rich fruitfulness for God in Christ.
If Christian people would let the new
life within them grow, it would sur
prise us and them what God would
do through them for His own glory.
