Admonition of Peace, Good
Will Still Christmas Theme
By the Rev. J,
"Glory to God in
1:14
There may be lome who will think that thi text ia out of place (or a world steeped In war,
bloodshed, hatred and shaken upon its very foundation with strife- Put what text could; bring
snore comfort and cheer to the world today than this message of "peace and good wl) toward
sent" It must be remembered that the world was in darkness, not merely the darkness of night,
but darkness of hatred, slavery and spirituality and morality the night Christ was born and this
message was given.
. ... For 1800 years Christ has been ostensibly received and believed In, and this message of
"peace and good will" has been repeated again. This is not meaningless message for our world
today, Th world has rejected and refused to be lieva this message, and that accounts for the con
ditions In which the world finds itself today. If there was ever a time when such message was
eded to be heard by the world of mankind it is today. And this message must not be compro
mised in the time of war. : ! ! . . . nr
A we bring this Christmas
message to you, it shall be our
purpose to think with you the
meaning of these words spoken
by the angels J8 centuries ago as
they apply to our day. We see
first "The Glory of His Birth."
The jubilation of the angels.
' "Glory to God in the highest, and
oa earth peace, good will toward
men," was uttered because of the
fulfillment of the eternal counsel
and promises of God to mankind,
and which had been the hope and
anticipation of man throughout
the ages. This great fact was
known and realized in heaven
but now if is an accomplished
fact to the world. It was the
manifestation of God in the Per
son of Jesus Christ. And the
angels who rejoice over the re
pentance of one sinner, rejoice
with thanksgiving over this
great event, and herald to man.
kind In the midst of hopeless
ness, darkness and world de
pravity, "Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men." So Im
portant was the message that it
was not left to one angel to ut
ter, but the heavenly host be
spoke their voices of the Incarna
tion of the Son of God as a. new
revelation to mankind. Where is
that one today who would not
like to hear anew this message?
In world today with black
outs as a means of safety, many
are thinking that there must be
a blackout of the spiritual things
today, until the tune the storm
ceases and the world once more
is in a state of calm. If the mes
sage of Christianity cannot come
. to mankind in power and ef
fectiveness in the time pf storm
it is not adequate for man, But
we would assure everyone that
this message Is for "such a time'
as ours. Let us, like the shep
' herds of old, be faithful and hear
with a renewed meaning of
"Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men." ;
In name, the world to some de
gree has accepted Christ as a
great Man, externally only, but
as "Savior"; as "God with us";
as a living reality in life He has
been rejected, and consequently
brought upon itself the greatest
catastrophe among the nations of
a)) time. This does not imply that
the plan and purpose of God has
failed. For there are many today
and at this season who do know
and believe in Jesus Christ as
their Savior, and to whom this
message comes anew. In the 19
centuries since the proclama
tion of this good news, nations
and kingdoms have risen and
fallen, but the fact and truth of
the coming of Jesus Christ as the
Savior of the world grows with
renewed interest with each pass?
ing year.
In the observance pf Christ
mas this year, which commemor
ates the birth of Jesus, the whole
of Christendom should make cer
tain that it does not degenerate
into mere perfunctory and for
mal observance. We shall all ob
serve this day as a holiday and a
time of gathering the whole fam
ily from far and near: the ex
changing of gifts; and our en
aeavoring to brighten every
home by helping those less for
tunate, tnus bringing the warmth
ef summer to hearts in this win
try season. All this is good withh
itself, but tl;is is not the first and
foremost thing, if we lose sight
of this day apart from the tjme
of the Incarnation of Jesus
Christ, then it is meaningless,
and the world has no place to
turn for hope apd comfort.
This great event came to man
kind in the form of a miracle-
the virgin birth of Jesus Christ
Many think by their supposedly
advanced learning and theoloei
cal interpretation that the virgin
mpn is unscrlptural and beneath
their thinking and acceptance.
They only show their ignorance
of the Bible and utter foolish
thinking. When the professed
student of the Bible begins to
question the truth of God's
Word, we cannot expect the
iKepttc and unbeliever to rejoice
In the message of the angels. The
virgin birth of Jesus is pot only
scriptural, and logical, but is the
only means whereby God could
manifest Himself and at the same
time come into the experience of
man. The glory of His Birth is
that Jesus is God-man,
Tho glory of His birth is seen
In the tributes given by the
k tarv VIS. - -Jl -AK. V - j V - - - V . .ft.w .1.... -

the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward man."
angels, "Glory to God in the
highest, and pn earth peace, good
will toward men." The propheti
cal Word affirmed His birth; the
contribution of the wise men
spoke ef the contribution of
learning; the star directed those
who knew to the place where He
was born. Whether within the
Bible or in Nature everything
points to Jesus Christ. He was
born into our experiences as well
as into our nature. And thus.
"God without us" in the Old
Testament, became "God with
us" in the Gospels. And because
of the glory of His birth it is
"God with us gave place to God
within us."
Then in the second place we
see the message of the angels:
"And on Earth Peace, Good Will
Toward Men." I
Here again the skeptic raises'
the objection, since 1900 years of
preaching of peace we are in the
midst of the greatest war of all
times. We must bear in mind
that God puts the ideal before
man, and it is the shortcomings
of man that causes the failure of
God's plans and purposes and not
God's unfaithfulness nor inabil
ity to fulfill His purposes. His
plans and purposes will go for
ward 'unto completion, even
though it may seem everything
is lost. God still leaves man with
the freedom of choice, even
though He has provided the
ideal. '
The angels announced, "and
pn earth peace." And for these
centuries the Christian church
has preached peace to the world,
and yet nations have continued
to learn war, and the more
civilized the more terrible the
wars. Let us not be disturbed
over this, for the day is coming
wnen "nations snail learn war
no more , , and they shall beat
their swords into plow shares
Ana ngnteousness snail cover
the earth as the waters cover the.
sea'
You will recall the artists'
conception of peace and quiet
ness in tne picture of the power

over the steep precipice, and yet
underneath the wafer falls "high

greatest pf ease and contentment.
and not in the least disturbed by
tne tnundering water fall.
The reality of peace to the be
liever or the Christian can be
verified today on every hand,
The greatest battles of life are
not those fought on the battle
ground with canon and sword,
but in the hearts of mankind,
The issues of life are tremen-
dous. Many people are not able
to face the real issues of life
ana are tossed about by every
storm of life. Like the little bird
sitting on the nest in the midst
of the thunder of the falling
water, tne christian has found
peace in this world. Jesus said to
His disciples, "Peace I leave with
you; my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth; give I
unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be fear
ful.'
"And on earth peace, good wilj
toward men" are pot rnere idle
words spoken by the angels, but
are precious truths, experienced
and realized by many, not after
they die. but here and now in
this world. The peace and eood
will toward all men are seen in
me universality of Christianity.
The imperfections of those who
profess to be Christians does not
disqualify the statement made bv
the angels, but is a statement of
truth in spite of our imperfec-
tions. As many of you read these
words mere will be an "Amen"
to the truth and reality of peace
ana good will In your own
nearis.
"Good will toward men" is a
reality in this world today. It is
through the teachings of Jesus

jauons as tne ted Cross, lodges.
hospitals and similar welfare
organizations, which knows no
national boundary or hue or
race of mankind. The response
to the call of the Red Cross and
other organizations in times of
national catastrophe in whatever
nation, is known to every reader.
If one should doubt the truth of
this statement, let him name the
country pr religion apart from
Christianity, pr where Christian,
fty ha not touched end these pr
Luke
similar organisations have been
developed as a direct product.
Even the most skeptical must
confess that these are the direct
product of the teachings of Jesus
Christ. And so the angeit were
not speaking idle words,
Again, one needs only to think
of the bond of Christian fellow
ship which encircles the globe to
see the "good will toward all
men." The writer has been in
China in attendance at church
sen-ices where he did not under
stand a single word spoken, and
yet there was the consciousness
that these Christian Chinese
spoke a language which was
understood in the Christian
spirit. There was a bond of
Christian fellowship manifested
in "good will toward men."
To many it may seem that this
war has nullified the statement
'Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men," spoken by the angels, but
we assure you that this is not
true. We cannot compromise the
message God has given, although
momentarily it may seem to be
nullified. Man needs this message
in the dark hours. When this
present conflict is oyer the na
tions will once more enjoy the
good will of all peoples perhaps
to a greater degree of apprecia
tion than before. It is the black
ness of the night which causes
one to appreciate the light of
day.
If civilization will keep
its!
head, and will heed this message,
we predict that to even a greater
degree and to a greater extent
than ever the nations will once
more know the hand-clasp of
good will. Once more commerce
and travel will be resuiped, all
because the "good will toward
men" was brought by Jesus
Christ coming into the world as
announced by the angels.
I bespeak to one and all this
Christmas season, not the formal
greetings merely, but a deeper
and more significant understand
ing of this message announced
by the angels as a living experi
ence in the heart. We need to
hear this message more so this
year than last year, for we must
have some rock pn which to set
pur feet. Has Christ been born
in us as the hope of glory? from
that stable in Bethlehem one can
go to pell, it is not the Bethlehem
of geography, but it is the Beth
lehem pf experience that we
need. This is the Jesus of the
Christmas. Do not be so unspeak
ably nieap as to repel Him, Will
you not receive Jesus this
Christmas as God's only way of
eternal salvation?
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will to
ward men."
