WHAT ARE YOU WORTH? "Certain chemists with a flair for statistics figured out the chemical constitution of the average man, thus: An average man contains enough fat to make seven bars of soap, enough iron to make a medium-sized nail, enough sugar to fill a shaker, enough lime to whitewash a chicken coop, enough phosphorus to make 2,200 match tips, enough magnesium for a dose of magnesia, enough potassium to explode a toy cannon, together with a little sulphur; at market rates these chemical ele ments could be obtained for $.98. That was some years ago, but in these days of in flation a man must be worth fully $2.00; but what are you worth, and, in particular what are you worth to God? God created man "in His own image." There is a kinship between God and man that does not exist between Himself and any other being that He has created. This kinship with God makes man unique in His creation. Note, four respects in which man is of unparalleled value in his essential worth: 1-Man has a moral sense with which he differentiates between right and wrong; he feels a sense of satisfaction when he does what he knows to be right, and a sense of dissatisfaction, or even re morse when he is conscious he has done wrong. 2-Man has an affinity with God, and is capable of realizing God in his life. 3-Man finds his full-fill-ment, the comple tion of his personality in God. 4-Man is capable of worship. The Incarnation, the fact that God the Son became man without being untrue to His divine nature, emphasises the true dignity of man. What you are worth to God is revealed not only in His creation of you in His own image, but in His redemption of you. In the world today we see cruelty that man inflicts on his fellow man, and wonder if human beings capable of so great evil can be of any worth-of-love to an all-holy God. It is man's essential dignity and worth to God, his inherent capacity for that which is noble which makes his cruelty so revoltingly tragic. True, "all have sinned and do come short of the glory of God." Yet, the love of God extends not only to man as God intended him to be, but to man as he actually is. This is the thought that impressed itself on St. Paul—not merely that Christ died for us, but the fact that "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Conscious, that we come so far short of the glory of God, we cry, "Jesu, what didst thou find in me, that thou hast dealt so lovingly?" This redeeming love of God is the central theme of our religion, all the rest that constitutes Christianity revolves around that one supreme truth. It is in our re demption far more than in our creation, that we come face to face again with that love so amazing so divine. Man's value to God is revealed in the fact that the Son of Man came to "seek and to save that which was lost." —Selected
