come buy wine and milk without money and without price isa 551 the lesson as a whole the onrolling tide of bless ing has progressed exactly as outlined by the lord himself the message was to be pro claimed first in jerusalem then judea and next samaria later it must go out to the gentiles even unto the uttermost parts of the earth it was philip the deacon not philip the apostle who first carried the glad evan gel of the grace of god to the despised samaritan people among whom however our lord had ministered on various occa sions in the days of his flesh this had undoubtedly been the means of preparing many of the samaritans to give heed to philips ministry he was used in a singularly mighty way for as he preached christ the people with one accord gave heed un to those things which he spoke miraculous works of power attested the oral proclamation and the result was that many believed and were baptized by philip however the pentecostal gift of the spirit was not granted to these samaritan converts im mediately they came of a schismatic group who were in tensely jealous of their own claims to being the chosen people as were the jews to the south of them they must learn definitely that salvation is of the jews as our lord had de clared john 422 so they had to wait until the apostles came from jerusalem ere they were baptized into the one body of christ the historical setting all is in perfect order here in less than a year after the beginning of the new dispensa tion the gospel was carried to samaria it was probably in a d 34 that philip went among them to be followed shortly by peter and john verse by verse verse 14 they sent unto them peter and john there had been a great scattering abroad of the young converts but the twelve remained in jer usalem when tidings came of the blessing that god granted in response to philips ministry in samaria they deputed peter and john to go and investigate and confirm the disciples verse 15 prayed for them that they might receive the holy ghost recognizing the work to be of god they showed their fellowship with philip by en treating the lord to give the holy spirit to these samaritan believers as he had already done to those of israel verse 16 as yet he was fallen upon none of them they were saved through believing in the lord jesus and they were baptized in his name that is by his direction or authority matt 2819 but they were not baptized by the spirit into the body which although not yet definitely named as such was formed on pentecost icor 1212 13 verse 17 they received the holy ghost the gift was given upon the imposition of the apos tles hands who thus ratified formally the work of philip and expressed their fellowship with the samaritan believers grace had thus bridged a vast gulf verse 18 simon offered them money here was one who though baptized was but a false professor believing the story told by philip he had not surrendered himself to christ he would obtain spiritual pow er if possible to use it for per sonal enrichment and aggrand izement verse 19 give me this power simon knew neither the lord jesus nor the holy spirit he thought of the latter as an influence or power which might be purchased and used to his own advantage verse 20 thy money perish with thee peter repelled with indignation the suggestion that the gift of god could be pur chased with money he would not allow the thought of gain to intrude into the manifestation of the grace of god so far as he was concerned verse 21 thy heart is not right simon was an unregen- erate wicked man covetous and irreverent who delighted in attracting attention to himself and his supposed miraculous powers verse 22 repent pray peter exhorts simon to take drastic measures he pleads with him to judge himself to face his sin and seek god in sincerity that he may be for given verse 23 in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity corrupt and vile a slave to selfishness and un righteousness simon well de served the stern rebuke verse 24 pray ye to the lord for me there is no evl dence of repentance no sign of sincerity even in his petition he does not pray for himself he would have peter do it for him and then not for forgive ness of his iniquities but that he might be spared the divine in dignation which he so richly merited verse 25 when they had testified and preached peter and john joined philip in the good work of evangelizing thus showing how heartily they fel lowshipped with him and how fully they endorsed the work that had begun later they re turned to jerusalem carrying the news of the conversion of many in samaria the heart of the lesson t outstanding lesson of the present passage is the absolute necessity of reality in the things of god mere religious pro fession or intellectual accept ance of the historical facts of christianity if divorced from repentance and true faith in christ himself will never pro duce the new life many there are who sup posing that gain is godliness that is that gods blessing is manifested by outward pros perity go on in their sins pos ing as christians when they have never been born again to face ones sins in the presence of god and to turn to the risen saviour in trustful confidence means far more than to make a lip profession and submit to baptism god desires truth in the inward parts psa 516 he must have reality he will not bestow his grace upon the unre pentant professor who is walk ing in pride and selfwill it is rather a reflection on the canadian people that they spend onethird as much for cigarettes every year as they spend for education they spend twothirds as much for liquor as they- spend to educate two and a half million children the expenditure on both these items shows a steady increase year after year
