' Tho Lesson of Our Text.
We should remember that our text,
and Indeed the entire ' Bible, is ' ad
dressed to tbe Church of Christ to
those who have left the world, who
have given their all to the Lord, ac
ceptable through Christ, and wbo are
Intent upon knowing and doing God's
will. The world is loft by the Lord
to try out Its own ambitions, to realize
eventually thut these result in disap
pointment It is when we experience
the disappointment of our own. plans
and ambitions that we are truly pre
pared to look to the Lord. , ;
,. In our text the Apostle does not
specify Satan in contrast, with Jesus;
yet we may read between the lines
tbnt He bad In mind the opposite
course pursued, by Lucifer, 'Who be
came Satun. and the'Logds, who be
came Christ Tbe Scriptural record Is
that Lucifer-was one of the highest
and -most glorious spirit beings a
cherub. But a sinful . ambition took
possession of him. Instead of the
righteous ambition to serve and honor
bis Creator, be thought thut if he bad
un empire of his own be could im
prove upon the Divine order of things.
-Isaiah 14: 12-15.
This ambition ultimately led Lucifer
to carry out the progrum in connec
tion with mankind. Thenceforth he
was known as, Satan. God's Adversary,
"tho Prince of tills world, which now
worketh In the hearts of the children
of disobedience." According to tbo
Bible. Satan has been permitted to
have a certain amount of liberty, to
show what the evil courso would be
and what its evil results. But ac
cording to tbo Bible be Is soon to be
restrained for a thousand years, while
Messiah's Kingdom will break the
shackles of sin and death, and give all
tho fullest opportunity to return to
harmony with God and to attain ever
lasting life. Ultimately, Satan Is to be
dostroyed, together with all who have
his spirit of antagonism to God In
suborUlmitloii evil umbltlun.
The Logos Humbl.d Himsslf.
Mark the sharp contrast between
Satan's courso and that of the Logos,
thu Only Begotten Sou of God. The
latter meditated no such usurpation of
Divine authority as Lucifer ulmed to
obtain. On the contrary, Ho was the
very personification of loving obedi
ence and self-abnegation, Instead of
meditntliig a usurpation to make Him
self equal to tho Ku tiler. He declared,
"My Father is greater than I"; "My
Father Is greater than all"; "1 delight
to do Thy will, O My God."-Jobn
U:28; 10:29: Psalm 40.H.
As in duo time Satan round oppor
tunity for manifesting his ambltlou, so
In due time the Ixigos found opportuni
ty for manifesting Ills humility and
loving obedience, Man's full brought
tbe opportunity tho need of a Ue
deemer. As it was man who was con
demned to death, so the redemption of
Adam and bis race must bo accom
plished by the death of a man. The
death of bulls and goats could bo only
typical. Neither would an angel bo a
corresponding price. Hence tho Divine
proposal to tho Logos thut If He
would become a man, taking tho sin
ner's nature, but not participating In
the sinner's weakness or sin, He might
thus be the Itedeemer of men uud "c
conipllsn the Dlvlno will.
,t Inched to this proMsiil was the
promise that so great a manifestation
of love, loyalty and obedience to the
Father would receive u great reward
an exaltation to the Divine nature,
glory, honor and immortality, Thul
.lesus declared Hint for ills faithful
ness Ho iud been rewarded by His
father with a place In Ills Throno.
Hevelallon U '.'l .
Tho Lttton of Humility;
St. Caul wns seeking to Impress the
lesson of humility, as the context
shows, .lesus exemplified In Ills own
course of humility the ambition to be
find to do lut what would lie pleasing
to the Heavenly Kallier, Hot meditat
ing for an Instant to grasp Divine glo
ry and honor, and association with the
I'ii tiler lu His Throne, He did God'
wll at the cost of ills life ven the
death of the cross.
And behold God's Wonderful gruco!
He who sought not to usurp the
Throne, but who humbled Himself,
has been exalted to the rlht hand of
tlod! What an exemplification of the
ten. hlug of Cod's Word! Did not God
declare, "Pride goeth before destruc
tion, snd a haughty spirit before n
fall"? He permitted Satan to be an
Illustration of Just such a result; and
this Illustration is forceful In Its npp
ration to all "God resist el h Ihe proud
hut glveth grace to the bumble."
The Apostle points out that the
Heavenly father, who so highly re
warded our tfavktr's loving obedience
bus made s similar proposition to those
whom He Is ratling during this Age ti
beeiime associates with Ills Son. II
we become dead to the world and l"
down our lives In obedience to His r'K
tiler's will, as Jn did. we shall shaiv
Ills Tlirolie, as lt has promised. Jus
Sermon
tified by faith in our Redeemer's sacri
fice, presenting our bodies living sacri
fices, and faithfully persevering in the
narrow way, we shall "make our call
ing and election sure."
"Every Knea Shall Bow.
Tbe Apostle (V. 10) declares ' that
our Master's exaltation, as a result of
His humility, Is so great that all even
tually must recognize Him ss Lord Of
all. Unto Him every knee' shall bow
of the Heavenly and the earthly fam
ilies. Already tbe angels acknowledge
Him. As we read, the Father saltb,
"Let all tbe angels of God worship
acknowledge Him." Tbe bowing of
earth will come later.
Tbe work of the entire thousand
years of Messiah's Reign will be for
the uplifting of mankind from sin and
death. Whom the Son will make free
will be free indeed. . Bat all those
made free wll) know, that their release
Is ' due to . the great sacrifice wblcb
Jesus accomplished In the carrying out
of the plylne Plan. And all will know
that the Redeemer has been honored
of the. Father and exalted to the chief
place. And those, reaching perfection
will be glad to bow tbe knee to Him
and to confess Him with their tongues.
' .- - Tho Fsther Is Excoptod.
i We arei not to gather from these
statements that Jesus, in any senso of
the "word, will take the place, the glo
ry, the honor, of the Father. Jeho
vah God declares, "I give not My glo
ry to another." (Isaiah 42:8.) Bt. Paul
explains that although Jesus will be
hailed as Lord of all, nevertheless It
'is manifest tbnt He Is excepted wbo
puts all things thus In subjection to
the Son. St Paul emphasizes this
by telling us (1 Corinthians 115:27. 28)
that it will be the Father's Power that
Will bring everything In subjection to
tbe Son: -and that when tbe Son. in
carrying out the Father's gracious
plans, shall have put all things In obe
dience, to Himself, then shall He de
liver up the Kingdom to the Father,
that the Father may be ail in all.
Truly the Divine Program, as stated
In the Bible, is beautiful and wonder
ful, it Illustrates to us elements of
tho Divine Character that we never
could have appreciated except as man's
fall Into sin and death gave opportu
nity for tho exercise of Divine Wis
dom. Justice, Love und Tower. Had
there been no sin, no death, there
would have benn no opportunity for
God to manifest- His Justice in dealing
with tho sinner, no opportunity to man
ifest Ills Love for the world in provid
ing that they should be rescued from
tho power of sin and death. Neither
would there h?ve been un opportunity
for demonstrating Satan's disloyalty
and whercunto It would lend. Neither
would there liavo been an opportunity
for testing the Only Begotten of the
Father, and demonstrating the depth
of His love and loyalty even unto the
death of tho cross, unless sin had been
permitted.
Neither would there have been an
opportunity for God to show Ills gen
erosity In dealing, with the Logos. In
His high exaltation to the Dlvlno na
ture und glory. There would hnve
been no opportunity to show tbe length,
breudth, height and depth of the Love
of God In lifting tho Church from
tho horrible pit mid miry clay of sin
and death, Justifying them freely
through the merit of Christ's sacri
fice, Inviting them to share In His glo
ry, honor and Immortality, and finally
bringing the Elect to participation in
the Divine nature, and In tho great
work of Messlah.-Rev. 2:10. 20, 27.
Room For Boundless Ambition.
In view of .what wo have seen of
tho Divine arrangement there surely
Is room for the exercise of the
most boundless ambition Imaginable
amongst those blest with the bearing
ear and the Gospel Message. It would
be a grout ambition to strive to
become kings or (ueeus of the king
doms of tho world. It would be
a great ambition 'to hoto to bocome
Judges, senators, or the President of
the United States. But such great am
bitions would be as nothing when com
pared with that set before liellevers of
God's Word-the ambition to bo receiv
ed by the great Creator as sons, par

Iiunris in iiiv mi,.- HIM.... -
1:4 1. heirs of God. and Joint-helm with
Jesus Christ our Lord, to a Heavenly
Inheritance and Kingdom everlasting.
ir any one wants a grand ambition,
here Is one worth dying fori Indeed,' It
can be attained only by dying. First
must come the death of the will as ro
iects earthly alms, projects, ambi
tions, etc, Then gradually must come
the transformed mind, which rejoices
to die dally and lo suffer with Christ
If so be that we may be also glorified
with him. (llonians 8:17.1 This Is the
ambition necessary to make true, loyal
soldiers of the Cross, willing to endure
hardness In the Cause of the Captain
of their Salvation, and to lay down
life In the service of the King of king.
A Grand Rush For It.
One might suppose thut such a Mea
ltime would find millions anxious and
willing, to lay hold uihiii Its terms.
Hut no! only a few have fiilth-nnd
without faith they cannot bo pleasing
to God. Some hnve it little faltb und
render a little obedience, take- some
steps, refrain from certain sins and
seek to walk band In baud with the
Lord-and with mammon. But these
make a mistake. There Is no promise
of Joint heirship with the Savior ex
cept by a full cutting loose from tbe
world and by a vital union with God
through Christ
"Ho that hath an ear to hear, let him
hear." He that bath a humble heart
of obedience, let hint lay hold of the
promise and attain the greatest of all
ambitions. As for others, let them
choose the noblest ambitions of which
they are capable, assured that In pro
portion as they are honest and loyal
they shall eventually ba bloMd midor
Messiah's Kingdom.
