Romuns 8:37 ” In all these things we
a re m ore than co nquerors through him
that loved u s .”
A g reat deal has been w ritten about
the second half of this twentieth century
being the p o st-C h ristian age. We a re
told that the influence of C h rist and
liis church has been dissipated by the
cen tu rie s and the w orld’s advancem ents,
and we m ust not be m isled by the fact
that the church still seem s to be active in
society. Note the c u r r e n t ’’death of God”
co n tro v ersy .
C h ristia n s cannot accept this prophecy
of the impending death of the C h ristia n
faith; we a re convinced that our C h rist
is ete rn ally relevant. We believe that
th ere is adequate justification for such
a faith.
We have found the C h rist to
be perfectly suited to every situation.
The re a re hou rs when ou r needs demand
a consoling C h ris t. Those hours come
when we, like the widow of Nain, lay our
dead hopes and d ream s on the b ie r to
be buried. It is then that C h rist com es
to touch and awaken these d ream s and
hopes from the dead. To the heavy-
laden and weary lie brings re st of soul,
lie com es offering new strength to those
who feel like e ith e r giving up o r giving
up the ghost.
Situations a ris e in which we require
a com m anding C h rist.
We a re like
ch ild ren who becom e fru stra te d when we
do not know' the bounds and lim its of
our freedom .
It is then that C h rist
a rr iv e s to teach us that point at which
we tre s p a s s on God’s will.
It is obvious that we could move in
any d irectio n to prove the authenticity
of the conquering power of C h rist. We
could d iscu ss His confrontation and vic
tory o v er the power of the evil one
during His m in istry . We could d iscu ss
His com plete dom ination of nature: He
spoke and the winds and the waves
obeyed His will. His voice reachedback
into the c re v ic e s of the g rav e , and death
gave up its v ictim s.
On the c ro s s
He grappled with death itse lf, and when
the battle was o v e r, behold, death was
conquered!
His suprem acy is m ost evident in His
conquest of the human soul, for here
lies the s e c re t of the su ccess o r failure
of the whole human venture. Has He
been able to conquer man who has the
power to reje ct His authority? What
evidence do we have than men have
subm itted to His will? Hie answ er lies
in the lives of individual C h ristia n s and
of the church c o rp o ra te .
Ibe question stated sim ply is this:
Are we p resenting to our world this
conquering C h rist who has proven His
power through His conquest of our lives?
O ur world is looking for evidence that
we have been conquered before it will
be very much im p ressed by our c laim s
for o u r C onqueror. Many a rc saying,
a s did the a th eistic philosopher Heine,
’’Show ine that you a re redeem ed, and
I will believe in your R edeem er.”
When we produce evidence that our
tongues, o u r hands, o u r sex functions,
and our affections a re under the control
fu rn a c e R e p a ir
"We
V
of the C h ris t, the watching world will
he
m ore prone to believe in our
C onqueror.
The am azing su c ce ss of the church
of the New T estam ent lay in the ability
of the C h rist to tran sfo rm conflicting
p e rso n a litie s, groups, ra c e s , and c u l
tu res and to unite them into a body
functioning as one unit.
In C h ris t, Simon the Zealot was made
to eat with Matthew the Publican even
though th e ir occupations made them
h isto rical blood en em ies.
The Jews
learned to love the G entile, and the
fisherm an found a common ground with
the sc h o lar. The serv an t and the m a ste r
cam e into a relationship never before
thought possible.
T his external unity
was possible because C h rist f irs t of all
had tran sfo rm ed them in ternally. 'Hie
fiery John, who was called a "so n of
thunder,” becam e an apostle of love.
Under the influence of C h ris t, Simon,
the shifting sand, becam e P e te r,th e firm
rock.
And Saul, the scream in g eagle
swooping down to d estroy the church
becam e Paul, the cooing dove, nesting*
the church under his protective wing.
When we allow this C h rist to dem on
s tra te His power in the church today,
when labor and m anagem ent, black and*
white, sc h o lar and la b o re r, dem onstrate
th eir oneness in C h rist; when seem ingly
contradictory p erso n alitie s a re able to
work together for the cau se of C h ris t,
we a re forcing our world to become’
aw are of our CONQUEROR.
We a re m ore than conquerors through
< h ris t. Let us rejoice in this blessing
and evidence th is power to the world
in such a way that C h rist will rejoice
in us.

The driver who waits until the
last minute to Jam on his
brakes for a stop Is going
to get it In the end. Sudden
stops cause rear end ac
cidents. Make sure you
watch well ahead so that you
stop slowly, smoothly and
safely.
Because bikes are much
harder to see and move more
slowly than cars, a bike turn
ing In front of traffic is In
danger. Make sure the road
way Is clear and that you
have plenty of time to com
plete your turn.
