Faith In Focus
By T. A. STALLWORTH
Asst. Professor of Religion,
Chaplain
Presbyterian College
'Thus says (he Lord."
These words spoken in the
days of the Old Testament by
any one of a number of
prophets turned the heads of
Hint’s and peasants alike.
Those who spoke these words,
dedicated to the Covenant
relationship with their C.od,
felt the pulse of their present
day situation, lashed out at
the at fhctintt illness, and
made prescription for the
cure
Following in the best of
the Old Testament prophetic
tradition, Jesus stepped into
the mainstream of first cen
tury life, diagnosed the situa
tion, and in three short years
discovered that the cost of
the cure was his own life
spent on a cross. This healing
act all of Christendom has
just celebrated durint' this
past Easter week. This event
has a broad ranjte of mean
ing for all the world to view.
As a prophet, Jesus, taking
his cue from the prophets
before him. was aware of the
present He observed the
everyday activities of life
and saw that man and his in
stitutions did not reflect
the p r o p e r relation
ship to his God or to his
fellow man Man's worship
had been hindered by artifi
cial and mechanical observ
ances His view of his fellow-
man had become conditioned
by aue old prejudices, class
distinctions, religious taboos,
and by a self-seeking reach
ing out for wealth, power,
and prestige with little to no
consideration for the dignity
and worth of the individual.
It was both for those who
were caught up in this de
humanizing man-made sys
tem, and for those who were
b e i n g dehumanized that
Jesus, who was the Christ,
died. This is the gos
pel. that Christ died for
these people. He died not for
any one of man's systems or
institutions, but for man who
had as a part o! the "rieht
ness of things," dicnitv and
worth because he wa a
creature of God.
The preacher or pador ol
todav accepts as a part ol
Ins duty to speak. "Thus :a\
the Lord He mu-t proclaim
the full gospel ol Je u- Christ
as a prophet m the mid t ol
the present day situatr ir Il<
has been called and comuns
sioned by God and it : i'>r
Him that he mint -peak Hut
this is a (iangerou- task
The preacher a prophet
must be aware ol the dev ice
ol man which are at work m
the world in which he and hn
people live He must id« ntilv
and then point out so that all
may see. those man made
systems a n d imtitutions
which misuse and abuse what
God has called good, whether
it be man himsell or anv oth
er part of God's creation
God considered the redeem
mg ol man to be worth the
price of His Son The preach
er as prophet can place no
less a value on his work.
To talk about this work ol
the preacher a.- prophet m
general terms is consider! d
■ (). K." among tho e w ho
would regularly assume their
assigned seat m the comlort
able pew. But to talk in speci
fic and m concrete terms r
another matter. Then tin
familiar complaint i ; beard.
"Now he ha topped preach
ing and gone to meddling ' "
But by what standard doe
one judge his "meddling''"
Tilt object ol the ,iV ms
work ol .1 e u Christ is peo
pie Anv t hms which touche
these -aim people m anv wav
to do harm, injustice, or v m
ienee to them i a concern ol
tin gospel and ol those w ho
