John's gospel tells of Jesus’ teaching
Mrs. George Procter, organist of
Knox United Church, Belgrave, set
the mood for worship Sunday,
September 10, with a prelude of
familiar sacred numbers. The ser
vice was conducted by the Rev.
Peter D. Tucker.
Rev. Tucker read scripture from
John I: 33-50 which relates the
increase of Jesus’ teaching and the
waving of John the Baptist.
“The Wise may bring their
Learning”, “Ye servants of God”
and “I’d rather have Jesus than
anything” were sung.
In the children’s story, the
minister told of a young boy who
was determined to help his mother
pull weeds in her garden. He didn’t
heed instruction. Soon the tele
phone rang. Mother left to answer
it. In the interim the child worked
steadily. How surprised she was,
on her return, to learn that all her
flowers were pulled up; all the
weeds were left to grow.
We must recognize flowers from
weeds. Weeds grow easily; flowers
hard. Tall, strong weeds cause
weak flowers. We, too, may pull
out the wrong plants in God’s
garden. Weed your own garden.
Not all good plants are tall and
strong. Learn the correct ones.
Mrs. Rita Potter attended the
Junior congregation in the school
room during the remainder of the
service.
Rev. Tucker stated that in earth
ly terms there was nothing wonder
ful about Jesus’ birth.
There was little difference in His
childish life style than in ours. We
don’t know His interests. He lived
as many of us. We have no
information about His early life.
This doesn’t matter.
Our knowledge of the gospel
which John provides is adequate.
John the Baptist says “Behold, I
am not He”. John was only a
forerunner; He was self-effacing.
We must admire him for that
characteristic quality. Many of us
UNICEF makes

gift giving
easy.
are not self-effacing. We don’t
want to step into obscurity.
The following day as John was
standing with two of his disciples
Jesus walked by. John declared,
“See! There is the Lamb of God!”
The two disciples turned and
followed Jesus. One was Andrew
who brought Simon to Jesus.
We don’t know what we are
doing when we invite someone to
church. How different things might
have been for us if Andrew had not
brought Simon, known as Cephas,
then Peter. There should be more
Andrews now to lead people to
Jesus. Jesus changed Simon. He
left his home, his wife, his boat.
For three years he was exposed to
hunger, danger, denial of Jesus.
He was just like us as he experi
enced cowardice. We could be like
Peter, not want to be completely
changed. Jesus will change our
names and our lives Jesus de
mands our all.
Offeratory stewards were John
R. Taylor and Melville Mathers.
