ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, TIWUSDAY,. MAY Illh, 14617 Present Your BodiesJ Rompians 12: 1.t Scripture Lesson - Romnans 12 ti Saint Paul said, "Present your0 bodlies as a living- sacrifice whichC is youir spiritual .worship." We t ,want to thhink about worship andte sacrifice. Perhaps w-e thiak ofi acifice as giving Up somethingb or as some disagr'eeable, difficuit experience. Many years ago, if a man was going to relate himself to God in a meca ingful way, he killeti and fuwned a n animal andi soinehow hie f cit that ýhe was d&aw- ing dloser to God. But Jesus camef andi people learned that animal sacrifice was ast sufficient. Jequs offereti a sacrifice for ail of usv through llimself, by giviag IuIs bodiy as a living sacrifice to be hung on the cross. Paul said, "I appeal to you-t therefore, brethren, b)y the mer- dies of God, to present your bodi- ies as a living sacrifice, holy and, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual wors'hip." Do we come todaày to God's house at this timet of worship and do it with the e feeling that we are presenting ourselves to be used. Paul was saigto take'your body, take ail the everydfyta5ks you do, the ordinary work of the house, fact- ory, store, farm or school and of!- fer it ail as jan act of worship to God. The true worship is not the offering of, elaborate prayers, noble liturgy or magnificênt ritual Real worship is not oaly transact- eti in a church or other suitable place, but it ig the offering of everyday life, to God. Real wor- ship sees the whole, worki, as the temple of Goti an-d every common deedas an act of worsûip. The hancis reveal a great deai about people andi there, are many kinds of hands. The carefully kept,j pan-,ý.pred handswiIl often speak of selfishness. llands, may look homely* but have the toucli of gentleneisss conveying sympathy andi inspiration. They may be gree-cy bands, grasping hoki uap- on everything to draw it to themn- * selveg. Hands may bDe useti to hurt and wliia they are the tragedy is that scars mËade upon the fleeh mnay fade but the woundg in the' heart will be harder to erase. Jesus had strong handis but they were gentle hand9. 1He had point- ing hands that pointeti the way for men, that they might take the proper road that would'leati to the fullness of life. 11echadIhantis that were quick to reach.out to rescue. Whën Peter w4-, sink- ing Jesus' hantis were outstretch- ed to lift him.1He had praying hantis. No. matter how buy11 was, how great the pre,ýssure-, -Jes us had time to lift up Ilis handis i la prayer. lHe had c-reEssing hands and la their touch the lit- tle children who gatheredi round Hlim felt secure and at peace. 11e also had pierced hantis - not be-_ cause they had to be, but becauge tliey were- the bands of love.1 A missionary fromn Portuguese Ea5t Africa tolti of a group of natives who passeti on-e hospital andi walked a long, rough, diffi- cuit journey to come' to a mis- sion hospital for treatment. Whea asketi why they ipas-ý,d a well- equîppeti government hospitai to get to one much further along the road they replîed, "The'medicines are the slame but the -bandis are different." The bands in the mis- sion hospital conveyed tihe heal- ing touch of Christ becausýa the people who worked there-hat pre- seated their bodies as a livinig sacrifice to Hlm. So often we think little of what the touch or expre'-sion of our handis means to others. Ai jcdweller was showing lhh- F X-1 i his isuperb collection of &Uai sontis anti preclous stones.
