CHRIST DIED TO
SAVEjlNNERS
St Paul's Gospel, Which He
Was Not Asharncd to Preach.
AN INSPIRED STATEMENT.
Paator Ruasell, In Montrtal, Says That
tha Panalty of 8in Waa Juatly Im
poaad Tha Radaamar la Yat to Ba
eoma tha Graat Oalivarar of tha
World Importanca of Raiurraotion.
Montreal, Sept
22. Pastor Russell
Bove two addresses
here todny, one on
" BEYOND THE
GUAVIS," tho other
on "BL Paul's Gog
pel." America's Ubiq
uitous Preacher
comes quite fre
quently to tho Prov
inces, and the Im
mense audiences
that everywhere
greet him are proof that the True Gos
pol which he preaches has to some ex
tent found a responsive chord In thou
sands of Canadian hearts.
We report the Pastor's second ad
dress, which was from tho text, "Moro
over, brethren, I declaro unto yon the
Gospel which I preached unto you:
how that Christ died for our sins ac
cording to tho Scriptures; and that Mo
was burled, and that He rose agnlu
the third day." (1 Corinthians xv, 1-4.)
So coinpleto a statement of the Gospel
In so few words Is wonderful. With
out Inspiration St. Taul, like tho rest
of us, would have said moro-would
have snld too much. Lot us analyze
the text nnd see what It contains.
First of all, It teaches that we are
tinners and that our sins nre beyond
our own power to wash away or eradi
cate. This Is a fundamental, Impor
tant mattor. Failure to reallzo that
we are Imperfect, born In sin, "shnpen
In Iniquity," has hindered many from
seeing the necessity for a Redeemer,
and therefore from accepting Jesus as
their Savior. To say that we aro sin
ners Implies a time when righteous
ness prevailed In our anccBtry. We do
not spenlc of brutos as sinners, be
cause tho Scriptures say that "sin Is
transgression of the Law," and God
would not give a law to a bnito.
wMch could not comprehend that law.
Similarly the perfection of our first
parents was Implied In this term, be
cause God would not give a law to a
being not lufllclontly Intelligent and
capable of keeping that law. Thus
this very simple statement, We are
tinners, Implies the thought of a fall,
just at the Blhlo declares.
"Christ Diad For Our Sins,"
For Christ to die for our sins Implies
thnt our sins had a death-penalty at
tached to thorn. This ngalu Implies
that at the tlmo that death penalty
was Imposed It was a Jimt one, because
a Just God would not punish unjustly.
The Justice of n death penalty Implies
A high degree or intelligence ou me
part of tho sinner and thnt lie was in n
condition hi which ho would not have
needed to die If he had not sinned.
This statement, "thnt Christ died for
our sins," further Implies that Christ
was not of the fallen nice, for hud He
been a sinner, how could lie hnvo died
for sinners-how could Ills dentil have
been of any profit or ndvnutago to
them? Thus our text teaches that Je
sus was Indeed "the I.ainh of God
which taketh away the sin of the
world," that Cod sent Ills Only He
gottcii Son Into tho world that wo
might not perish but have everlasting
Jlfe. The whole force and Import of
this text Is that human salvation Is
(iccured by the death of Christ and His
resurrection. Wero we not sinners nnd
-dying wa would have needed no one to
die for us. Were It uot to rescue us
from slu nnd from death God would
not have sent Ills Son.
Tha Daath-Panalty 8Utad,
Here let us notice the force of the
word dcatS In our text It did not
mean life In torment to our Redeemer,
for the Scriptures bear clear testimony,
not ouly that He (lied, but that He
arose from the dead on the third day.
And the Scriptures declare that He
was not alive anywhere during those
three days. This contradicts the
thought of some who claim that He
"was the Heavenly Father Himself nnd
could uot die that lie merely got out
of the body ou tho cross and let the
body die and afterwards pretended
that He had died, when Ho said, "1 nm
He that llveth. and was dead, and be
hold, Inm nllve forevermore." Itev. 1,18.
Wo have a genuine Redemption, a
real Sacrifice, and tho Redeemer Is yet
to become the Great Deliverer of the
world, whose deliverance from denth
by resurrection cost the Redeemer
Ills life. As by n mau enmo deulh.
by the Man Christ Jesus comes the
resurrection of the dead: "for as nil In
Adam die. even so all In Christ shall
be made nllve every man In his own
order. "-I Corinthians xv, 21-23.
Ha Arose tha Third Day.
Great Import a nee attaches to the
fact that the One who died for our j
sins did not remain (lend, lie de
scended Into Iloll-Shcol, linden, the
tomlt-but rilH.soul was uot left there,
us the Scriptures declare. God the
Father raised Him from the dead on
the third day. The Importance of
Chrlst'l resurrection Is many-fold. It
; ''
r. ,J"J
; M(- J
L IL J,
Russell's
shows thnt He did not dlo a sinner,
but, on the contrary, maintained His
relationship with the Fntnor "holy,
hurniless, undclllcd, sepnrnto from sin
ners." It shows that He kept the Law;
otherwise He would have remained
dead llko the remainder of the Jews.
More than this, the fact thnt He wns
raised from the (lend to a higher
nature, a spirit being, "partaker of tho
Divine nature," proves thnt His sncrl
flclnl death wns very pleasing and nc
ccptablo In the Father's sight; hence
His high reward. And nil this proves
that tho Heavenly Father's great
promise to Abraham Is In process of
fulfilment. Our Lord's resurrection to
the piano of glory demonstrates to us
the greatness of this Seed of Abraham,
and His preparation for the great work
foretold the blessing of all the fami
lies of the earth.
From this viewpoint we see the Im
portance of His denth and of His
resurrection, co-related. Tho death
was necessary as man's Redemption
price, nis exaltation to power nnd
great glory was necessary for mnn's
deliverance from sin nnd death. Hero
we 'have, then, the Gospel which St
Paul received and which he, In turn,
dispensed the true Gospel of which
be was not ashamed. As he wroto
to tho brethren at Rome, "I am not
ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for
It Is the power of God nnto salvation
to every one thnt bellevcth to the
Jew first nnd also to the Greek."
Qoipsl In a Nut-Shtll.
As a great oak may be said to be In
an acorn, so the grent Gospel Message
may bo snld to be In out text, as St,
Paul declares, Every time we look
at It, It seems a little lnrgcr and a
little moro beautiful than before. We
enn almost see It grow not thnt the
Gospel Is growing, for It Is the snmo
thnt God purposed In Himself before
tho foundation of tho world. It Is
our appreciation of the Gospol thnt
grows, In proportion ns wo grow In
grace and In tho knowledge of the
Divine Plan nnd In tho Spirit of our
Lord; for without Ills Spirit, the Holy
Spirit, to enlighten our understanding
and to enable us to appreciate the tes.
tlmonles of the Word, we would not
be able to comprehend "the deep things
of God."
How plainly the Apostle states this,
saying, "Tho natural man recelveth
not tho things of the Spirit of God,
neither can he know them, be
cause they are spiritually discerned;
but God hath revealed them
unto us by Ills Spirit for the Spirit
senreheth all things, yea, the deep
things of God."-I Cor. II, 14, 10.
Pastor nnsseH'a reputation for faith'
fulness to tho Divine Word, his cour
age to speak the Truth in Love,
and his power to hold vast audiences
In rnpt attention for hours has spread
everywhere. Newspapers to the num
ber of l,M)0-ln the StntcB. In Great
Britain and In the Dominion which
are publishing his sermons and also his
comments on the International Sun
dny School Lessons are lealous In their
support of his excellent services ana
are praying still more power to his
voice and pen.
We have merely seen the root of the
Gospel, continued Pastor Rnuscll, as It
centers In the promise made to Abra
ham nnd In tho redemptive work ac
complished by our Savior. In Itomnns
il, 1024 St Paul uses the Illustration
of nn ollvo tree, nnd declares the
branches of the tree to be tho mem
bers of the Body of Christ, which Is
tho Church. From these brunches will
come abundant fruitage by anil by,
of "olive oil" for the light of the World.
St.I'nul points nut that tho natural
Israelites wer? the natural branches
nnd that the Jews therefore had tho
first right, privilege nnd opportunity of
becoming the members of the Body of
Christ, the Church. As n matter of
fnct, nil privilege nnd opportunity was
excluded from the Gentiles until Is
rael's tlmo of favor was complete
three nnd a half yours after the cross.
During those years the Lord's provi
dence so blessed the Jews thnt they
were nil brought In contact with the
Truth under most favorable conditions.
We remember that thousands were
converted nnd blessed at Pentecost and
other thousands a little Inter on. Wo
may bo sure thnt every worthy branch
In thnt tree was accepted of tho Lord
every "Israelite Indeed In whom was
no guile." St. Pnul tells us thnt then
the unbelieving Jews, the natural
branches, were all broken off, separat
ed from the Divine favor In which thoy
had previously been. Then begnn the
work of calling, preparing and en
grnftlng Gentiles, whom the Apostle
represents as of a wild olive tree.
This work of engrafting tho Gentiles
Into the Jewish stock nnd making them
fellow-heirs with the Jews of tho orig
inal Divine promise made to Abrnhnm
hns progressed for now : anrly nineteen
centuries. This Is the same Gospel,
hern u so It all springs from the same
gracious promise. It was "good
tidings" when as a mpssnge It was
given to Abrnhnm. Its value wnt in
tensified when God mndo oath to its
certainty of fulfilment. The fulfilment
begnn In Jesus, continued through the
Jewish disciples, nnd now hns accumu
lated a considerable number of the
Oentlles-pnilinbl.v the foreordained
number Is completed. When the Elect
number bIiiiII have been tested nnd
proven nnd shall hnve been accepted
in the resurrection chnngo and passed
bevnnd the veil-then this most won
derful feature of the Gospel will hnve
been accomplished.
Jtwiih Share of Goiptl.
Tho completion of Spiritual Israel
will be followed by the establishment
of Messiah's Kingdom and the begin
ning of the blessing of all the families
of the earth. We are to distinguish
here between the Church and the fam
ilies of the earth, for the Church in i
their consecration nnd acceptance of
the Lord and begetting of the Holy

Sermon
Spirit become n.c'.'.iiers or tne new
nation. They are no longer humans.
As St. Puul declares, "Ye are not in
the llesh, but in the spirit, If so he that
the Spirit of God dwell In you" (Ito
Jiius vlll, I)). The Church not only re
ceives eternal life, but that life is ou a
higher plane as spliit beings. Theirs
will bo glory, honor and Immortality,
In Jolnt-helrslilp with their Lord.
Amongst the families of the earth to
be blessed by Messiah's Kingdom the
first place will bo given to Natural Is
rael. In all things the Jew wns to
have pre-eminence, for this Ik tho Di
vine arrangement. As the Jew got the
opportunity of becoming members of
the Hody of Christ beforo It wns of
fered ti he Gentiles, so Fleshly Israel
will be tlio first nation to bo granted
tho opportunities und blessings of Res
titution to human perfection under
Messiah's Kingdom. Provision hns al
ready been made for this. Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob and nil the Prophets
of old huve tho testimony that they
pleuscd God und that they are to have
a better resurrection than the ordinary.
They cannot be members of tho Bride
of Christ, nor sharers In the spiritual
privileges nnd the Henvenly Kingdom.
They lived before the High Calling,
before the Heavenly Calling wns open
ed. JeBiis was the Cnptnln, Leader nnd
Forerunner In this, nnd His Joint-heirs
all follow Him. None of them pre
ceded Him.
"Princaa In All tha Earth."
But the Messianic Kingdom, ltBelf
spiritual, will need earthly Representa
tives, and they are provided for In those
Ancient Worthies. Their testing hav
ing been completed, they will be raised
perfect human beings, ns Adam was In
his perfection, and Jesus In Ills, while
on earth. Their superior powers of
mind nnd body will soon grnsp nil the
wonderful things which Divine provi
dence has arranged for since their day,
nnd they will be quite masters of the
situation. Naturally, perfect men wbl
be Princes amongst Imperfect ones.
But these will hold the title from tho
Grent Messiah. This Is prophetically
stated: "Instead of Thy fathers shall
be Thy children, whom Thou (Messiah)
shalt make Princes In all tho earth."
Psalm xlv, 10.
Assuredly the new order of things
will appeal to the Jew first. His les
sons under the Law will make him spe
cially amenable to the new condition
of things, for during that thousand
years nil mankind will be Judged, not
according to their faith entirely, but
specially according to their works.
Faith will be easy when knowledge
will be so complete nnd so general.
Good works will be gradually more nnd
moro possible ns they shall be blessed
and restored to perfection under tho
Kingdom arrangements.
The Scriptures Intimate that the
world at thnt time will be In n deject
ed condition. The great "Time of Trou
ble" with which Messiah's Kingdom
will be Inaugurated will cut n deep
swath In earthly hopes and ambitions,
and all nations will be In the condition
to desire the Messlnnlc Government,
and then, "The desire of all nations
shall come." ling. il. 7.
"Coma, La Ua Go' Up."
Tho Scriptures psophotlcally foretell
thnt as the Divine blessings of Mes
siah's Kingdom go more and .more to
Israelites, other nations will take note
of this and be Inclined to entreat a
share of the Divine favors, saying,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain
(Klngdoini of the Lord's house; He
will tench us of His ways and we will
walk In Ills paths." The wholo world,
every nation, people, kindred, tongue,
needs Just the blessings of healing
nnd life eternal which the Messianic
Kingdom Is to offer them. And the
terms will not be Impossible, but quite
the reverse. Messiah Is to be, not only
a Great King to rule, but also a Great
Priest and the' Church with Him Is
promised to be a Royal Priesthood.
However, God will not accept any
other nation than Israel. All of Ills
blessings are to go to the Seed of
Abraham. And ns Abraham's Seed
spiritual In the resurrection becomes
"as the stars of heaven," so his seed
natural will Increase to fill tho whole
earth, and nre compared to "the snnd
of the seashore." Nor will this be an
arbitrary matter. It means the great
est good to all. Nnto that tho first
monitors of Spiritual Israel came from
Natural Israel, nnd thnt the Gentiles
wero grafted In. Similarly the first
fruits of the world will be Natural
Israel, but all nations will have the
prlvllegoyund opportunity of being en
grafted Into nnd becoming members of
Israel much after the same manner
thnt people of all nationalities com
ing to Amerlcnn Canada may enjoy
citizenship here under certain Coven
ant conditions. Tho New Covenant
conditions Inaugurates! with Inrnel (Jer.
ml. 31-34) will thus he open to nil
mankind, because all will be permitted
to become members of Israel. Thus.
as the Scriptures prophesy, Abraham
eventually will be "a father of rrxiiy
nations." Romans Iv, IT.
Eventually, all the willing nnd
obedient will be glad to enter into
this New Covenant relationship with
God through Christ nnd to be counted
members of "the seed of Abraham."
Eventually, nil others will be destroy
ed In the Second Death, so that then.
nil the earth will be blessed ns Abrnij
ham's seed. Hero we hnvo t!;o Gospel '
