Christ until they are willing to surrender their own assurance of salvation in order that God's name might be vindicated. Their ultimate desire will be reborn and lifted up from their own egotistical concerns, and placed on those that have value for the entire universe. Israel of old had a hope that Messiah would come. He would free their nation from oppression, and their name would be vindicated before all the world. This would prove that God was on their side and they would be freed from guilt. The disciples of Christ had a similar outlook and motivation. The same idea is seen on every hand in our church today, for almost every public prayer closes with the thought: "when You come in the clouds of heaven, we pray that we may, without the loss of one, have a place in Your kingdom." Does God need this constant reminder? Is He not acquainted with a verse of scripture which clearly says it was God who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten? Could such prayers be the expression of guilt though perhaps an unwitting 118
expression? Selfish trust prevails that in spite of everything to the contrary, God will somehow grant us a place where the cares, the burdens, the taxes and the toothaches of this life will be at an end. In fairness we must ask, is personal gain the goal of being a Christian and taking the name of Christ? Perhaps it is, until we recognize that sin is not the obstacle that stands between us and reward, but rather sin is the burden of pain and suffering that stands between God and a cleansed universe. The cleansing of the sanctuary is God's remedy for the problem. This may give insight into Paul's sermon on Mars' hill as he described God's patience: "The times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). Why are we called to repent? Is there some particular vice—repent of what? This same call to repentance was sounded by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:2). It was enlarged and repeated by Christ immediately after His baptism and temptation in the wilderness. It was 119
