THE CHURCH DURING WAR AND
PEACE |
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 5:43-48; Romans '
13,1-7.
GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed are the peace
makers: lor they shall be called sons of
God.—Matthew 5:9.
I
Everywhere men are talking about
the coming peace. They are con
cerned lest having won a war we
may lose the peace through the self
ishness or the indifference of men.
It is a great problem and one about
which we are rightly concerned.
Why is it then that the most im
portant factor in assuring a just and
friendly settlement of the problem
is left out of men’s deliberations?
Why is there so little (if any)
thought of God and prayer to Him
for the needed guidance and wis
dom?
We know that there can never be
an abiding peace until Christ comes
to establish His kingdom, but in the
meantime, we should seek to bring j
Christian principles to bear on the
relations of men and nations. We j
are to show:
I. A Higher Measure of Love j
(Matt. 5:43-48).
The world has established its own
principle of conduct based on selfish
advantage. It pays to be polite to
those who can favor you, so culti
vate their good will by acts of cour
tesy and kindness. Your neighbor j
may be able to help you in an hour i
of need, so do good to him as you
have opportunity.
But an enemy—what can you
gain from kindness to him? Hate
him, and treat him like an enemy.
Christianity knows nothing of such
a spirit. Even though it be neces
sary to fight against wicked men in
order to hinder their evil plans, j
we need not lose our love for them.
Even those who despitefully use
us may be loved for Christ’s sake.
“Consider Him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against Him
self” (and went right on loving
them), “lest ye be wearied” in
your own love for those who bear
the sad name of enemies (see Heb.
12:3).
This is admittedly a high stand
ard, but it is not too high for those
■ who know the love of Christ,
11. A Higher Degree of Loyalty
(Rom. 13:1-4).
i An intelligent Christian is the best
; citizen. He knows that all govern
. ment is based on the power and
authority of God, and hence he rec
ognizes the legality and authority of
duly constituted governmental agen
cies.
No matter how much man has per
verted or degraded government,
yet it is in essence the expression
of a ministry of God (v. 4). How
deeply ashamed that should make
those who regard political office as
a means of personal gain and ad
; vantage, or who use their authority
to permit or promote that which is
against God.
Every public official should recog
| nize God as the giver of his authori
ty and seek the Lord's special grace
and guidance in the discharge of
i his duties. Every citizen should
1 1 highly regard the one who rules as
I having a power ordained of God
; (v. 1), for the good of the nation I
(v. 4).
Here then is the solution of the
political problems which are caus
ing upheaval all over the world,
1 namely, a revival of Christian testi
mony and faith, for it will lead to a
loyalty on the part of the people
which is quite unknown where Chris-
I tianity does not bring its true in
fluence to bear.
That kind of love for men and
' loyalty to government necessarily
’ brings about:
111. A Higher Standard of Patri
> otism (Rom. 13:5-7).
i There is more to real patriotism
I than flag waving and high-sounding
oratory. There must be a consci
entious willingness to serve the na
| tion in willing obedience to the com
j mand or the request of proper
authority.
I The Christian gives just that kind
11 of patriotic support to his country
j (v. 5). His enlightened conscience
j demands it, and he responds.
I Then too, there must be support
| of the government by the payment
j of taxes. Think of the thousands who
| are engaged in the business of evad
ing their just share of the cost of
government.
The Christian has no share in
such things, for he is ready to pay
his share of the expense of govern- I
ment as a ministry of the Lord
I (v. 6).
No government can function prop
erly nor long endure which does not
i have the respect and confidence of
those governed. There can be noth
ing but criticism, discontent, and
disobedience in such an atmosphere.
We have said it before, but
we say it again—the best thing that
could happen to America politically
is a revival of Christianity. Our
national lenders ought to set the ex
ample and encourage the people to
follow in repentance, restitution and
God’s blessing. Read II Chroni
cles 7:14.
