I" THE PULPIT, jc c A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. ALVAH S. HOBART J Theme: The Unlisted Asset. t Brooklyn, N. Y.?The Rev. Dr. A. c S. Hobart, of Crozer Seminary, i preached Sunday morning in the Em- i manuel Baptist Church, Lafayette i avenue and St. James place. His ] subject was "The Unlisted Asset," i and his text was Matthew 22:41-44: "While the Pharisees were gathered i together Jesus asked them, saying: c 'What think ye of Christ? Whose z son is He?' They say unto Him, 'The c son of David.' He saith unto them, f 'How, then, doth David in spirit call c Him Lord, saying the Lord said unto t my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, i till I make thine enemies thy foot- i stool. If David then call Him Lord, c how is He his son?' And no man i I was able to answer Him a word, neither durst any man from that time forth ask Him any questions." Dr. Hobart said: Sometimes in the summer the thermometer runs up into the nineties, and we call it hot weather, hut we take off our coats and attend to our business and say to our friends: "This is summer, but after all I rather like summer. I do not see that the summer is to be so much dreaded." And the next day the thermometer stands just as it did the day before, but we are nearly smothered, and we say: "I cannot stand it at all. I think this Is about the worst climate; it is enough to kill a man." What is the difference? The thermometer does not tell the whole story. To-day there are only sixt^ degrees of humidity, but yesterday there were ninety. There is a certain unlisted element in the weather that the thermometer does not make any account of, bnt that unlisted element makes all n the difference in the world. A man s is sick and his doctor tells that he has an incurable disease and cannot t live, because the medical records do \ not show a single case of recovery i from that particular disease. Never- ( theless the man recovers completely, x and the only way the astonished doctor can account for it is by saying c that the man had a great fund of in- ( exhaustible vitality. That vitality is e the unlisted asset in the case. r This is the idea I have in mind t when I speak to you concerning the g unlisted asset in Jesus. These people wanted to know certain things and v He wanted them to believe certain ' things. There seemed to be some c doubt as to the Messiah, and Jesus i* asked tnem wnat suri 01 & man v thought the Messiah was going to be. e "Whose son will He be when He -p comes?" and they said. "Why, Da- j] vid's son." Then He said. "Have ye c ijot read the psalm wherein David f said. The Lord said unto my Lord?" s In the Jewish realm no man would \ ever call his son "Lord." How was D it? They did not know. They found t in the Old Testament Scriptures that a there was an unlisted asset. Now, t history presents a similar problem. 0 Things have happened that we cannot } account for in the ordinary way. Be- v fore, or soon after, A. D. 300, the pagan kings of Rome ceased to be, and D a confessedly Christian king sat in ^ the centre of the Roman Empire. a Now the teachers of that gospel did j not have philosophy like the Romans j or literary culture like the people of t Rome or Athens. t They suffered persecution and were c called "theoff-scouringof the world." ^ They had no armies, nor temples, and yet inside of 150 years they displaced ^ the Emperor on his throne by the v Sospel of Jesus Christ. How are you y ' CAmohnw n gOing lO KCCUUUl 1UI luau uvmi.uv. j these untrained fishermen, and that ^ ;ast-out Pharisee of the Jewish eccle- r siastical institution, had gone ahead t irith the unlisted power and won j, iese marvelous victories. Something D j?as there besides, something greater 0 :han a son of David. A humble peas- q int's son in Palestine prophesied that a His name should be above everything E md that all the nations of the world should know it and bow down to it. What do we see to-day? Why, the statesmen of the world are being guided by the fundamental principles c :hat that peasant taught. To-day the ( philosophers of the world are slough- s (ng off all the speculations that are a not in harmony with the fundamental v ;onceptions and the peasant's ideas t Df God. All are admitting tnat tney must come to the recognition of the ? existence of an Infinite source and t personal God who controls all things, v and this is the specific statement of e Jesus when He said: "P*ay, our Father, who art in heaven." Every j statement and every theory of the t sociologists of this time is pre-stated j in the language of the old Jewish peasant's son and every great princi- t pie that guides us is stated better by t Him. When you look over the world you find that where this Gospel has ? gone the world has new conceptions ^ of man. Nowhere else do you find ? the conception of man "in the image j of God" and standing in all funda- t mental essentials on a common platform. It has given new conceptions of man's attitude toward God, of his duty to his fellow man. There was no conception of international law until Christianity brought it. And this ? peasant's son in Palestine prophesied 1 all this recognition of these princi- v pies 1800 years before. What are we to say about that? Is He more d than a peasant's son or is there some s unlisted element there? ? We must look around to find the * cause of this unaccounted for phe- c nomenon of history. We have ex- ? bausted the assets of David's son. and * we must find something else. Some 1 things, it is true, can be accounted * for as the son of David, but not all. * The times and the character of Jesus will account for some, but there '.s a large residue left that cannot be accounted for that way. Some say, "Jesus is undoubtedly the pre-emin- C ent teacher of the world. Nobody \ ever equaled Him before or since or r is ever likely to, but," they say, a onanespeare was unuouDieaiy me s highest genius in his line, and he went so high that nobody aspires to e touch him. Socrates was a philoso- s pher, and in his line nobody aspires Y to take away his crown. And so J Jesus in His line was the product of y His day. He came from the Jewish d people, a most pious family, in a time I when the world was trying to be so wicked, and He was a splendid religious genius and we bow down to Him ore-eminent in His sphere." Will it do? We will admit that the cir- o cumstances and times did for Jesus t about all that could be done to make t Him pre-eminent as a moral teacher, c but why did not other people?the i] martyrs, the disciples?why didn't o Paul rise to the same pre-eminence? o No man could lay a finger on Paul's b life and say, "Here is a moral weak- e ness that accounts for it." If Jesus p was no more than a peasant's son He never could, then or since, have commanded the respect of a single man such as He has now. Suppose a man came from England and wanted us v to start Spurgeon clubs in every towD t iL n America and worship Spurgeon; >r suppose some one wanted us to tart Phillips Brooks clubs and be:ome Brooksites, we would say, 'There is a sanitarium over there; ou had better go there." You see hat if Jesus were nothing more than i pre-eminent son of David He would )e on the same plane with Spurgeon md Brooks. We will honor such nen and take counsel from their wi&lom, but never bow down to them. \.nd men would never bow down to md worship Jesus Christ if He were lot something more than a son of David. "But," you say, "that hyjothesis does not account for the fact. "We admit the mystery, but tbere s a certain unlisted element that we :annot see yet." Let us see what His ipostles say. Paul had his own theiry when he said that He was "in the orm of God, yet He made Himself )f no reputation and took upon Him he form of a servant, and was found n the likeness of the flesh and suffered death, even the death of the :ross." There is a notion of pre-exstenoe. That is Paul's conception of he unlisted asset, that pre-existing jlory with God. That does not answer the question, but it answers ;omething. He did what David never lid. He took on Him our form and vent back to accomplish the finish of he work. In the Hebrews we read hat He was the "express image" of lod and "by Him all things consisted ind held together." So you have the lypothesis of His being larger than David's son, who took on Him the orm of David's son. Then we find fesus speaking with authority. "It lath been said by men of old time, io so and so, but I say unto you do so md so." Again, "I came down from tfy Father, and all authority is given into Me and all judgment is given into Me that men may honor the Son is they honor the Father," and "he hat hath the Father hath the Son; le that hath not the Son hath not Jod." It does not solve all the mysery, but it tells us of a certain eleaent of divinity about Him which no on of David ever had. Then again He says that whosoever >elieves and follows Jesus will be vith God. That does not solve the nystery, but it tells us that so far as iod can teach mankind He teaches is by His Son Jesus Christ. You say: "I am handicapped, beause people calling themselves Christians have not Christianity nough to distinguish them from the est of the world." Confine yourself o those whom you will recognize aa ;enuine Christians, those whom you rould like to have pray with you /hen you are sick. Ask these people, How is it you have managed to overome where others have failed? How 3 it that you have kept straight forward with a cheerful spirit where othrs were discouraged? And they /ill tell you this: "Since I believed ti Jesus, a strange inside power has ome to me that has changed my afections, that has opened my eyes, trengthened my courage, nursed my irtues, nerved my will and has kept ae steadfastly going toward the ideal hat I regret I have followed so far way." I say that such testimony is he strongest testimony that this Son f David has an asset of power that le imparts to His people to give them ictory. This is the New Testament explaation: He was the Son of God and ad in Himself certain immeasurable ssets of divineness that belonged to lim, not because He was the Son o 1 )avid, but because He came to be he Son of David from on high, and lecause of that he has a claim to our bedience and worship and confl[ence. What sort of a Christ do you want? fou need a saviour. What do you . ant Him to do? First, to forgive ou. second, to puriry your neart. "hird, to give you grace. Can anybody do it except it be the Son of )avid to come in touch with you, and he Son of God to have power? I ave spoken these words to you this aorning that you might believe, not inly that Jesus is the Christ, but that Ihrist is the Son of the Living God, nd that believing in Him ye also aight have life. Every Christian a Worker. Each member of a Christian hurch should be a worker for Christ. )ur Lord has never granted a dispenation to a single one of us; would ny of us desire that He should? His ow3 are upon us all without excepion. Are we each obedient to His word, Occupy till I come?" Are we puting out our talents to interest? If /e are not doins: so. we can never nter into rest. Rest implies previ>us labor. We are bidden by the loly Spirit to labor, to enter into he rest of God; it is the way thereto, dlers are unrestful. fidgety, worried nd worrying, fretful and fanciful, roubled and troublesome. They are he happiest who are the most completely consecrated to the service of Jod and most fully absorbed in obelience to His will.
