To have learned to know myself the object of God's love, to have become conscious of the divine eye THE IDEA OF GOD. 171 singling me out and resting upon me, and to have awakened to the fact that God looks upon me not only as I am, but also as I may be, that God is ever comparing me with my ideal : what stronger motive could ever come into the life of man than this ?
Could any representation of future judgment have softened the heart of Zacchaeus as did the sudden revelation flashed into his so...ul when Jesus singled him out in the crowd, that even he, the outcast among men, was an object of care and love to Jesus ?
How different the idea he must from that moment have had of his own life, of his value before God.
This is the motive that Christianity brings into the life of man : the appreciation of his own humanity.
It was well said by one of the writers of Lux Mundi, that man to be saved must know not only that he cannot save himself, but *' how splendidly worth saving he was."* To know this; to understand that before the almighty Creator and Sustainer of the world I stand in the dignity of my personality, that he recognises the rights that belong to me as one created in the likeness of himself, that God has placed before me possibilities for infinite good; to have the eyes to see my own ideal as the divinely appointed ** might be '* of my life: this is to know the love of God, and this is Christ's motive to a better life.
