BOn Friday, March 16,1 drove to Portland, Ore., to witness one of the mechanical wonders of the twentieth century— the lifting of the center sec­ tion of the Fremont Bridge over the Willamette River. This huge span is 902 feet long, 192 feet high, and weighs over 6,000 tons. It was the first time a span of this length and weight had ever been lifted to such a height. The section was floated down the river on barges into the proper position. Then 32 long steel rods, each 4 inches in diameter, were fas­ tened to the span, 8 at each corner. Each of these rods was clamped into a hydraulic jack on the girders 176 feet above. Each of these jacks is capable of lifting 200 tons. They worked simultaneously and lifted the huge section 176 feet straight up from the water level. It took three days to complete the job. When the section reached the desired height, it was fastened with 10,000 one-inch steel bolts to the girders at each end. As I watched this mechanical marvel in action, I realized it was the 32 hydraulic jacks, all work­ ing together, each lifting its share of the load, that were raising the huge span. I thought as I watched: What stupendous things could be accom plished for God if all of the members of the church worked together, each lifting his or her share of the load! □

This humorous incident points out the tendency in human nature to be blind to one’s faults. Reality to any person is how he perceives it. If one cannot see his faults, he assumes he is innocent. But like the defendant, this “innocence” can be challenged by external, verifiable data. When the evidence is in, the plea must be changed to “Guilty.” God’s Word has the capacity to clearly reveal man as he is. It shows one that he is not as he perceives himself to be. That is why we must continuously ex­ pose ourselves to the searching truth of the Bible. If we follow the tendency of human nature, we will be­ come blind to our faults and our needs. If we expose ourselves to the Word, it is like seeing ourselves in a high-quality, well-polished mirror, revealing us as we really are. It is not God’s purpose merely to prove us wrong. Rather, He seeks to make us right after we have seen our wrong. God has no finished saints on earth. On each of His children hangs a sign which says, “Saint Under Construction.” Converts are made in an instant, but it takes longer to make a saint. This is because making a saint is a joint effort between God and the Christian. On the part of the Christian it takes openness to one’s need and the willingness to improve. On the part of God it takes the searching of His Word and the leading of His Spirit. SAINT UNDER CONSTRUCTION It is a mistake to assume that Christian maturity is attained simply by the passing of time. It is achieved by an earnest desire to see ourselves as A defendant in a hard-fought civil case who had we are and a determination to become what God pleaded “Not Guilty" changed his plea to "Guilty” wants us to be.
