A Lesson for the Week
Casablanca Overmatched
By Mountain-Top Conference
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Casablanca's conference has thrilled the whole world. That leaders
should travel in secrecy so far, and that their decisions should be so
momentous to human history, has fired the imagination of all nations.
It brings up thoughts of a mightier and more mysterious conference
once held on a lonely mountain top in Palestine by emissaries of the
Great Power, when Jesus met with Moses and Elijah, who had come
across the centuries and from the
unknown realms of heavenly glory,
lor the meeting. We call this ep
ochal event the Transfiguration.
! Three witnesses
were present to
attest the nature
and reality of
the experience.
What theme
could be impor
tant enough to
bring Israel’s two
| long-dead lead
: ers back from
i t h e uncharted
| realms of bliss,
j to consider it
; with a Greater
I One? Nothing
less than the ap
| proaching rie- w. t. eiu*.
1 cease, or departure of Jesus. As “un
; conditional surrender” was the one
central objective of the Casablanca
conference, so the Atonement was
the central theme of this super
natural session.
Modern “liberal” theology in
clines to subordinate the death of
Jesus upon the cross. But the
subject was significant enough to
summon His mighty predecessors
from the realms of the spirit to a
material mountain top on earth,
to give him counsel and comfort.
As a climax, the very voice of God
Himself was heard out of the en
veloping cloud, “This is My be
loved Son, in- whom I am well
pleased: hear ,ve Him.” Moses and
Elijah bore credentials as honored
servants of God; but Jesus was
attested as God's only Son—facing
a cross.
Three Men of a Kind.
These two foremast representa
tives of ancient Israel, Moses and
Elijah, were congenial companions
for Christ. They, too. had been
“despised and rejected of men.”
They were men of sorrows and
acquainted with grief. They had
fought valiant battles for God. The
people they served had repudiated
them. They had drunk deeply of
the brimming cup of misunders
tanding. Moses had been taken from
his unfulfilled labors on Mount
Nebo: Elijah had departed to glory
in a chariot of fire, without seeing
death. Now they both had been sent
on their highest mission, the rendez
vous with the Christ. What errands
heaven-folk run!
Imagination hesitates before an
interpretation of that mountain
top meeting. What an unfoldning of
the will of God there must have
been! And what a review of the
significance of the drama of human
redemption. Moses and Elijah saw
it all from the heavenward side,
the only side that ever really sheds
light on the greatest problems of
man.
Heaven is interested in earth. So
testifies the Transfiguration. And
so declare all the teachings of our
faith. It- is the consciousness that
God is for us that fortifies and
undergirds all of our confidence of
5>
victory in this present war. He has
already bared His strong arm re
peatedly in our behalf—as at Dun
kirk—and, for the comfort of those
who fall. He holds out, as at the
Transfiguration, the assurance of a
heaven beyond, wherein human per
sonality persists, even as it per
sisted in the case of Moses and
Elijah. The body of Moses lay In
an unmarked grave, somewhere in a
lonely vale in the land of Moab, but
the real Moses, in identifiable
human form, continued to serve God
in the heavenlies. If this lesson
does not help us to relate heaven
to earth it misses its mission. We
need, as even Jesus needed as He
approached the climax of His war,
a fresh conception of the eternal
glory and power of God, to 6us
; tain us in this war.
As Death Drew Near.
Jesus was nearing His death. The
heavenly ministers who met with
Him on the mountain-top did not
avert that death; they interpreted it.
The bitter cup had to be drained.
They knew that out of death cranes
life, and that especially from the
death of Jesus would flow life for
the whole world.
That same truth is the comfort
of all who have lost dear ones in
battle. They have died vicariously.
In the name and for the sake of
country and humanity and God,
they have freely given their bodies,
that the real life of the world may
be sustained. Whoever surrenders
his own life that others may be
saved marches in the long proces
sion of heroes and saviours which
is led by Jesus, the crucified.
In the light of the conference
with the two heavenly visitants,
the very raiment and body of Jesus
became transfigured, irradiated with
celestial light: Perhaps a foregleam
of the glorious bodies we all may
w'ear in the presence of God. We
are tempted to play upon the theme
of the Transfiguration possibilities
of all of us: The changed, beautified
and spiritualized life that may be
attained even here and now. Most
of us have met persons of such
shining life.
