BAD BARGAINING

Genesis 13:12-18

Bargaining is selfish, even bargaining with God. Jacob bargained with God. Jacob’s kinsfolk seem quite numerous. The real Christ-spirit yields all to the Father because it’s his, and trusts him to be a Father, without bargaining. The real Jesus-spirit in a man helps another because he’s needy. Then there comes an unbargained-for double reward: we are like God, and we open the way for him to be God in full to us and through us.

1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

THE HURTING POINT

Genesis 13:5-11;  Genesis 14:14-16

The heart that responds to God always responds to another’s need to the hurting point, if need be. There’s a helping others that has little, if any, of the God-spirit in it. It’s the thing to do; others do it; it’s popular. The touchstone of the real thing is the willingness to do when it costs or hurts. It cost Abraham to help Lot. It cost Jesus to be our Saviour. It will cost to be a real Jesus-helper to others.

1 Timothy 2:5  For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

THE GREATEST GREATNESS

 Mark 10:35-45

The way up is down. True greatness is not in position nor in possessions nor in achievements, but in what one is in himself when he’s alone in the dark. To feed a hungry man in sore need, who doesn’t appreciate your help, even when it means suffering and sacrifice for you—this is the real Christ-spirit. To be like Jesus himself in heart and spirit and action—this is the greatest greatness.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

THE TIPTOE OF EXPECTANCY

 Hebrews 11:1-10

Faith is being sure about the thing you hope for. Hope is more than desire; it is expectancy. The inner eye looks out and sees the thing in actual possession or realization before it really is. And so the life is held true to God. In spite of depression or of opposition one holds steady and quiet and true and keeps sweet. And the thing comes. God never fails. The fruits come, big and juicy.

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

THE ONE UNFAILING THING

 Acts 7:1-8

The one unfailing quantity in life, and the only one, is—what? Banks fail, even with the Government guarantee back of them. Investments prove utterly unprofitable sometimes. Friends? Yes, they fail too, for lack of strength when not for lack of love. By the time a man gets the figure four at the beginning of his age, he finds that every thing and every one has failed sometime, with the rare exceptions that prove the truth of the statement. But God, Jesus—never yet.
