Fellowship Is Restored
Righteousness restores to man his lost Fellowship. We see that Fellowship illustrated in Jesus’ life. He approached the Father with the same liberty and freedom as a child approaches his parent. He addressed the Father as familiarly and as simply as a child addresses his father.
Jesus enjoyed a unique Fellowship. There was no sense of guilt, no sense of sin, no sense of condemnation in Jesus’ spirit. Our hearts are asking today, “Can God restore such a Righteousness to man?” We believe He can. We believe that the finished work of Christ guarantees it. Jesus had no sense of lack. When He needed money to pay His poll tax, He told Peter to go and catch a fish and he would find the money in its mouth.
When He fed the multitude of five thousand, they handed Him five loaves and three small fishes. He blessed the bread and broke it. The multitude was fed and twelve basketsful remained.
He had no sense of lack of money. He had no sense of lack of love, lack of knowledge, or lack of ability in any line. He had no sense of Sin-Consciousness. He had no Inferiority Complex. This Righteousness that Jesus had, gave Him the sweetest, most perfect Fellowship with the Father.
Faith Is Restored
Righteousness restores to man his lost faith. If you want to see this illustrated, go to the cities and see the congregations gather to hear men and women talk on psychoanalysis or, in other words, how to get faith in yourself so you can become a master over others who have no faith in themselves. Jesus had no need of faith. He believed in Himself. He believed in His mission. He believed in His Father. And He must have believed in humanity.
If you want to see the necessity of restored Righteousness, go to our churches and see the utter faithlessness of the great body of Christendom. They are like Thomas who said, “I will not believe until I can put my finger into the print of the nails in His hand, and thrust my hand into His side.” Thomas’ faith, like that of the modern Christian, was Sense Knowledge faith. It is faith in what they can see and hear and feel.
This is the reason why some of the modern movements, which have so much physical demonstration, have challenged the faith of the multitudes. It is Sense Knowledge faith.
