A theater is a place where plays are performed before spectators. People go to such a place to witness the acts of men. The apostle Paul says, |We are made a spectacle unto the world.| 1 Cor.4:9. In the margin it reads |theater| instead of |spectacle.| In Conybeare and Howson's translation this text reads thus: |To be gazed at in a theater by the world.| You as a Christian are here in this world on exhibition for God. He is the character you are to represent in life's great play. You must live in such a way as to do justice to his name. This world is looking on. God has written the entire play in his book. You have a life-time to play it in. If you will live in humble obedience to all the Word of God, you will act your part well and faithfully represent his true character.
