of the living god our lord gave to him the keys of the kingdom of heaven matt 16 19 the kingdom of heaven is not heaven itself but that sphere on earth where heavens authority is outwardly acknowledged in other words that which is com monly called christendom we have seen already in our study of acts 2 how peter used the keys a rabbinical expression referring to teaching to open the doors of the kingdom to the jews in the present lesson we see him opening the doors of the kingdom to the gentiles it seems strange that it took the apostles so long a time to carry out that part of the great commission which bade them go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature up to the end of chapter 7 their ministry was confined entirely to jerusalem and judea in chapter 8 we learn of the mission of philip one of the seven deacons to samaria as a result of his work there many of the samaritans believed the gospel and tidings of this having reached the apostles peter and john went down from jerusalem to see what god had wrought and to identify themselves with the work begun by philip it was not however until the lord gave a special vision to peter that he went down to caesareaphilippi and preached the gospel for the first time to a gentile audience which was gathered together in the house of a roman centurion cornelius this man was a devout seeker after truth and to him god had spoken in a vision command ing him to send messengers to peter at joppa asking him to come immediately to tell him words whereby he might be saved assured that this was of god peter hastened to obey but was cautious enough to take several wellknown brethren with him in order that they might bear witness to the churches in judea of wtiat they had seen and heard thus the door of faith was opened to the gentiles and so the work of world evange lization actually began in the meantime the young persecutor saul of tarsus had been convert ed and he soon became the pre dominant messenger to the gentile world the historical setting in the year ad 4 according to the generally accepted chronology peter preached to cornelius and his friends and won them for christ this was nearly eight years after pentecost in the intervening period the church had grown by leaps and bounds in jerusalem and judea and other cities and dis tricts where the message had been carried to the scattered jews in samaria too great victories had been gained for christ but in these early years we do not know of any gentiles reached and saved until peters special visit to cornelius verse by verse acts 10 17 what this vision which he had seen should mean peter had seen a vision a great sheet or tarpaulin let down from heaven suspended by the four corners in which was a vast collection of wild and domestic animals birds and creeping things a voice had commanded him to kill and eat to this he had demurred as he had never eaten any unclean thing the voice that spoke to him said what god hath cleansed that call not thou com mon thus indicating the sancti fication of the gentiles as a result of the work of the cross rom 1516 verse is asked whether simon were lodged there while peter was meditating on the possible meaning of the vision the messengers arrived from caesarea inquiring for him verses 19 20 the spirit said unto him behold three men seek thee to make assurance doubly

worketh righteousness is accepted with him this is not to say that men are ever saved by meritorious be havior but wherever there is an earnest desire to know god this will be accompanied by righteous conduct and reverance toward j him when such conditions pre vail god can always be depended upon to reveal himself to seeking souls verse 36 preaching peace by jesus christ this is the kernel of the gospel message christ has made peace by the blood of his cross all who believe in him are justified by faith and have peace with god verse 37 that word ye know it is evident that cornelius had heard already of the life and works of the lord jesus but he had not yet learned that through his death and resurrection salva tion is offered freely to all men everywhere verse 38 god anointed jesus of nazareth in his humiliation as man on earth the lord jesus was in all things subject to the controlling power of the holy spirit who descended upon him visibly after his baptism thus anointing him for the three offices of prophet priest and king verse 39 we are witnesses of him whom they slew and hanged on a tree as an eye witness of the sufferings of christ peter could speak with confidence of his shameful death wherein he took the sinners place and was made a curse for us cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree gal 313 verse 40 11 him god raised up and shewed him openly he who was numbered with the transgressors and died in the sin ners stead was raised from the dead by god the father as his own testimony to his satisfaction in the work his son had accom plished indisputable evidence of his resurrection was given by his appearance on many occasions not to an unbelieving world but to those who had known him well and recognized him as the risen lord even eating and drinking with him verse 42 it is he which was ordained of god to be the judge of quick and dead this command ment and declaration by jesus after his resurrection from the dead is in itself positive proof that he meant his disciples to under stand that he is god who was manifested in flesh for it is god alone who is to be the judge both of the living and the dead verse 43 to him give all the prophets witness the holy men of old who wrote the prophetic scriptures all looked forward to the coming into the world of the promised one who alone could save and redeem lost men all who believe in him may be assured on the authority of the word of god that their sins are put away for ever if this verse is linked with our lords words to his apostles as recorded in john 2023 whose soever sins ye remit they are remitted unto them there will be no difficulty in understanding what the saviour meant peter did not tell cornelius that he was there to grant remission of sins on the ground of confession to himself or penance he might impose but he declared full remission of all sins to those who believe on jesus the heart of the lesson it is always interesting to note how god brings the anxious inquirer into contact with the one who can open up the truth cornelius was seeking earnestly after god he manifested his sin cere concern by a devout life and kindly consideration for others ibut he needed to hear words whereby he might be saved god himself arranged the meeting be tween this anxious soul and the apostle peter who could tell him about the lord jesus christ and the work he had accomplished whereby guilty sinners might be reconciled to god as soon as he heard the message cornelius received it in faith and not only he but all who were with him in the house immediately believed this incident should be an encouragement to all who are seeking to win others to christ the holy spirit sealed the word and baptized these new believers into the body of christ so that jew and gentile were now one in him their risen head why stay at home feb 1 4th 1950 when you can enjoy an old time box social euchre old time dance for the price of one box lunch for two these events will take place in
