How much more, then, when we are dealing with that Being who has in him no mixture of the bodily! We do give human berets something when we give to their bodies but unless we give God the spiritual we give him nothing at all.-Y.On this page you find many beautiful pictures of Jesus Christ, painted by several Christian artists worldwide. That which is invisible in us is the most important thing and that which we value most from others comes from what is invisible in them. The higher and peculiar part of our nature has also to be amply served. We who have bodies must to some extent be served even as the beasts are served but if we got nothing more we should soon be miserable. The whole position is placed before us in the question, "Can I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?" Incense from Sheba, and sweet cane from a far country, became abominable to Jehovah because the people who offered them did not hearken to his words, and rejected his Law ( Jeremiah 6:20). A thousand things which in themselves serve and gratify human beings because of their correspondence with human nature cannot serve and gratify God. A FALLACY WHICH IS ONLY TO BE REMOVED BY A CONTINUAL REMEMBRANCE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOD AND MEN. How it vanishes away with the departure of Jehovah's people into the Babylonian captivity! We may learn a lesson from the obscurity into which the ark of the covenant fell. If one can think of God esteeming some spots of earth holler than others, surely they are those where most has been done for the renewal and sanctification of men. Holy buildings, holy forms, may have in them much value but the value is for us, and not for God. We do not make a sufficient distinction between what is necessary to us and what is acceptable to God. Many who on no account would bow before an image, yet act as if Deity had a special dwelling and special surroundings.
Gerizim are still reckoned holy places, and to them, in the name of Jesus, how many more have been added! Special places, special forms, special symbols, special words, have been slowly exalted unto an honour and an influence they were never meant to obtain. IT IS A FALLACY WHICH PREVAILS WIDELY AND DEEPLY STILL. Here is the paradox of a woman apparently unconcerned about her own misdoing, but very much concerned about the rightful localization of Deity. Truly the holiness of Gerizim had done little for this Samaritan woman and the holiness of Jerusalem did little for those priests and Law expounders who, in their fanaticism, put Jesus to death. We see that he had experience of two places reckoned specially holy, Gerizim and Jerusalem. The fallacy of holy places is emphatically illustrated in the experience Jesus had of them. Jesus seeks to fasten her up in a corner where she may be dealt with according to her individual sin and individual need, and so she tries to escape away into a general discussion on an old point of difference that was altogether beside the question that should have had most interest for her. Up to this point in the conversation the woman has not the slightest idea that religious matters are in question but immediately on concluding that Jesus is a Prophet, she proceeds to show that she can talk about religion as well as other people.
