Lesson 60

When we did lesson 60 I used an illustration to explain how it was with the religious leaders (those Pharisees) of the day by using a cup. I made a big deal about "cleaning it up" on the outside. It really looked so good! But then I showed them in the inside and asked if they wished to have a drink from it. It had a bit of mud inside and just wouldn't be good to drink from! But it made the point about how the were keeping man-made up rules so pridefully, but their hearts were far, far from God. We talked about how all man's attempts at "right living" are really only an attempt to wash up with dirty rags and will not make a person acceptable to God. It's Christ's righteousness we must have appropriated by faith!!! Nothing else will do! How wonderful that God Himself came down to earth to explain all this to us, sons of Adam ...so that we can become sons of God!!
It's been so very wonderful to be talking about the Deliverer!!!
It has been such a joy to serve Him here!
There are only 5 days of class time left. OH! Please be praying about all this. And thank you so much!!
I leave for home August 23. Could you be praying about that also. I'm alone this time and that's a bit different from all the other times of coming and going.........Thanks!
