Confess —Follow
Lesson for January 11, 1953
A NOTHER of those Bible words
1 which are easy to misunder- !
stand, is the word “confess.’’ Or
dinarily we connect this word in |
our minds with a court of law, or |
with some wrong that has been |
done. When we say the prisoner !
signed a confession, we mean he
admitted he was guilty. When
Catholics go to confession, they j
are expected to tell the priest all
about their sins. In the English 1
Bible the word sometimes has this I
meaning, as when John says that j
if we confess our sins, God will for
give (1 John 1:9).
\ • ♦ •
Where Do You Stand?
But there is another meaning
of these words “confess” and "con- I
session” which is quite different, j
It does not always
j
made a “good con- Dr Foreman
session.” Paul is
not saying for a minute that Jesus
admitted that the charges against
him were true. What he means is
I that Jesus stood up for God and
his duty, he did not let down his
flag, he stood out for the truth.
The expression is often used, re
lerring to Peter’s saying to Christ,
‘‘You are the Christ,” and it has
i come to be known as “Peter’s
confession.” This does not moan
j that Peter admitted something; on
1 the contrary he affirmed some
j thing. He was declaring his belief,
! he was letting it be known where
he stood. The Christian church has
made much use of this word, but i
it might be clearer if we used I
some other words sometimes. All
churches will tell young people and
new converts hov^. important it is I
to “confess” Christ. We could just i
| as well say “standing up for” him; i
voting for him and having one’s I
i vote put on record. When Christ '
asks: Are you with me? Confessing
means simply saying openly; Yes! ;
♦ ♦ ♦
Christ Never Outranked
There is something else tied up
in this idea of “confessing” Christ.
It includes saying something about
Christ. Peter’s confession, accord
ing to Matthew, was “You are the
Christ, the Son of the living God.”
I Luke reports that he said, “You
are the Christ of God.” Mark re
ports simply: “You are the Christ.” |
All agree that Peter declared Jesus !
to be the Christ. To us, “Christ”
is a name; to Peter it was a title,
the highest title he knew. When- a
first-century Jew used the word
( "Christ” he meant there was no i
i one else in his class. He meant
1 God’s chosen beginner of a new
1 age. There was no higher word
i that Peter could have chosen than
| “Christ.” So to this day when we I
! say that a Christian confesses
Christ, we ought to mean that he
: puts Christ above all others, that
j he knows no one can outrank
i Christ. We mean what the old
j hymn says, “All hail the power of
' Jesus’ name, let angels prostrate
I fall.”
'* * * ♦
More than Mouth-Christians
i But there is still another word
the church has always used, be
| cause Jesus used it: Follow. Con- 1
1 session alone is not enough. It may
take courage to confess Christ. It ;
takes sincerity and also stick-to-it- j
iveness to follow him. Confession i
can be done in a burst of enthusi
asm; following takes the long pull. I
Confessing Christ means saying he j
comes first in your life. But does |
j he? Who or what is really first?
There are a great many—-too many '
—church members today who have
been as much of a Christian as
they can possibly be—with their
mouths. They have confessed
Christ as Son of God, as Lord and
Saviour. They have said, in effect,
that they wish to be counted on j
Kis side. But when they “joined [
the church” or were “confirmed,” |j
that is about as far as it went. They
hardly even warm a pew nowa
-1 days. What is needed is something
| more than mouth-Christians, voice-
Christians, word-Christians, shout
ing Christians. What is needed is
j following-Christians.
It is noticeable that almost im
mediately after Jesus had praised
Peter for his confession, he called I
him Satan, the very devil. For it j
was plain that Peter was thinking
along lines quite different from
Jesus. Following Christ means
thinking more and more as he
would think.
