unto me both in jerusalem and in samaria and un to the uttermost part of the earth acts 18 the iiessox as a whole very appropriately the series of studies upon which we now enter has been entitled christianity reaches out in preparation for the carrying on of the great missionary enterprise our attention is first dir ected to our lords promise of the coming of the holy spirit to em power his servants to preach with conviction and assurance so that the world might helieve that their message was from heaven follow ing the crucifixion and resurrection of jesus christ a great change took place which was not clearly predict ed in the old testament israel nationally having rejected her messiah was set aside by god for the present age any who repented and turned to christ for deliverance found salvation but not as jews rather as poor sinners needing a saviour these were by baptism sep arated goverumentally from the nation as such and formed the nuc leus of the church or assembly of god a new company who were to be united to christ by the spirit in the present age of grace of this the book of acts treats in its opening chapters then the stream of grace broadens to take in believing gen tiles and as the wonderful story un folds we see paul a chosen vessel and other workers reaching out to the uttermost parts of the earth the historical setting verse by verse acts 11 the former treatise o theophilus he refers to the gospel of luke which was inscribed to most excellent theophilus it is noticeable that the title is no longer used possibly some change had taken place in this mans conition owing to his having boldly confess ed christ luke wrote before of all that jesus began to do and teach note the order here in the gospel we have jesus working on earth in acts he is seen working from heaven see mark 1620 verse 2 he was taken up four times our attention is direoted to this fact vs 9 11 22 it was no illu sion jesus was actually received up into glory 1 tim 316 but ere he left this scene he instructed his apostles regarding fhe work they were to do they were not left to grope their way verse 3 many infallible proofs nothing but their positive knowledge that their lord had appeared among them alive from the dead could account for the assurance with which the followers of jesus bore witness to his gospel and were ready to suffer all manner of shame and torture for his sake he taught them monthly cheques are enjoyed by the holders of producing turner valley oil royalties oil royalties offer the following attractions exemption from excess profits tax

for believers all through the dispensation it was a specific word for the apostles they were to tarry in jerusalem luke 2449 un til the holy spirit descended verse 5 ye shall be baptized with or in the holy ghost not many days hence this was fulfilled as predicted when the first group of believers were baptized into one body 1 cor 121213 this was the formation of the church the baptism is not now to be sought but it is true of all who are in christ verse 6 wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to israel they realized israel had forfeited the kingdom for time being was god about to give it again to them and recognize them once more as his chosen nation the question was a natural one in the light of old testa ment prophecy verse 7 it is not for you to know the times or the seasons jesus did not imply that their ques tion was preposterous and declare that the kingdom would never be restored to israel he said that the time was not revealed this is the fathers secrethe changes the times and seasons dan 221 these have their place 1 thess 51 but god has not chosen to make them known to us at present verse 8 ye shall receive power after that the holy ghost is come up on you the clearest reading here is ye shall receive the power of the holy spirit coming upon you in view of their witness testimony they were to be empowered by the holy spirit then they would be prepared to begin the work of evangelization which was destined to spread from jerusalem into judea then samaria and thence to the uttermost part of the earth in other words they were first to proclaim peace to those who had crucified the lord of glory it they would repent and believe in his name and the circle of blessing was to grow wider and deeper until took in all mankind verse 9 a
