he knewworse than he knew be cause he really broke up and scattered the church in jeru- altm acts sl better than he knew because that scatter ing meant a missionary move ment that might not other wise have been launched ch 111921 by the time the church was reorganized in jerusalem reports of this missionary movement began to pour in the iikhi startling of these reports was concern ing antioch of syria where a gentile church had been born through the witness of the hellenic jews that called for inspection the saint in jeru salem had not yet learned the mystery of the church that the gentiles should be fellow- heirs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in christ by the gospel eph 36 the church made a hap- py choice in barnabas as t li j one to examine into the new j movement he was such a man of grace that he quickly recognized the grace of god wherever it operated and gave the new work every en couragement in the meantime the arch- persecutor had been converted and become himself the target of persecution both in dama scus and in jerusalem the jews stung to the iuick by their loss of such an effective champion sought his life to escape their wrath saul was sent to his home town tarsus where he soent the hidden years but when barnabas saw the developments in ant ioch he immediately thought of saul whose greek learning and roman citizenship would greatly add to his understand ing of this gentile situation and to his effectiveness as a minister to that infant church little did the church in jeru salem or barnabas or saul realize that antioch was a bout to become the home base of a mighty missionary cru sade in connection with these coming lessons the use of maps is indispensable hurl- buts bible atlas hand me- xally co chicago so s5 is most useful in

he coveted for the greek church at antioch the the rare gifts of saul and for saul just such an opportunity for ministry as the church at antioch afforded verse 26 he brought him unto antioch and a whole year they taught much people and the disciples were called christians this was sauls first definite appoint ment in the christian ministry and it set the pattern for his whole career as apostle of the gentiles he was one of a con siderable ministerial siaffchap 131 under whose leadership the church prospered the name christian was doubt less given first in derision by the pagan population chap1ts a certain man at lysta a cripple from his mothers womb saul now paul and barnabas are well on in their first missionary journeys of st paul in the pro vince of galatia district of lyeaonia this cripple was a challenge to paul and barna bas as another cripple had been to peter and john acts 32 verse perceiving that be had faith to be healed the message of paul stirred hope in this hopeless soul and paul discerned the response verse 10 stand upright and he leaped and walk ed xo learning to walk al though he had never done it compare puke 55 acts 37 s verse 11 the gods are come down to us in the like ness of men such was the re action of the pagan iycaonians and one cannot wonder thes were of course polytheist- although each city would give special worship to its patron deity see chap 1035 verse 12 barnabas jupi ter and paul mereurius jupi ter was the father of che gods mercury the messager or herald of the god- and him self god of commerce ovid has related a myth of

what contrast from herod agrippa in 1222 23 not only didthey refuse the worship but used the occasion to present god over all- verse hi who in times past sutfereii all nations to walk in thier own ways compare chap 1730 thetimes past were the tinier of gu for bearance with the nations when god wrought with israel in preparation for the gospel we cati be sure that paul in cluded the call to repentance as he did to thevthenians verse 17 nevertheless he left not himself without witness in that he did good all the sifts of nature are in reality the gifts of god and witnesses of his goodness call ing men to repentance rom 2l verse 1 and with these sayings scarce restrained they the people it was no easy thing to turn fanatical pagans from their purpose verse 19 stoned paul drew him out of the city -up- posing he had been dead probably their disappointment and chagrin at havingmis- taken two jews for gods pre disposed them to this contary action the antioch mentioned in this verse is pisidian antioch not syrian antioch the jews led the riot against the apostles paul must have been very close to death to have been left for dead by this infuriated crowd some believe he was aeuiallv dead verse 20 he rose up and departed with barnabas to oerbe whether dead or near dead his recovery was miraculous no hospitaliz- tion no medical attenationno long period of recuperation but an immediate return to normal strength so that he carried on without interuption j the heart of tin- lesson the hidden years in tarsu were part of the training of this man who was destined to do more for the kingdo mof god than any other mortal there is a danger among us of being in too big a hurry to get into the work at the expense of necessary training and disci pline in these days of hasty ordination we need to be re minded of pauls command to timothy pay hands sudden ly on no man 1 tim 522 in the fullness of time gods place was ready for gods man and barnabas sought out paul for the

all tire appointed to settle in one place for a life time frequently a mahsfirst church is a preparation for a wider ministry and churches must be prepared to release their best ministers for the larger held antioch was hon ored by being established as home base for world missions happy is the church whose outreach touchs the ends of the earth think of having the apostle paul as your first mis sionary the first missionary journey was rugged going it was too much for young john mark chap 1313i but paul and barnabas pressed on at lystra they were really in heathen territory and they met with the same challenge to the power of the name they repre sented as did peter and john in jerusalem in the very be ginnings of the gospel acts 3111 they could not ignore that man a cripple from birth notice they did not mention the name jesus in command ing the cripple to rise up and walk his name was not known here at lystra as it was in jerusalem nevertheless they wrought in that name and theman leaped and walked as if he had been doing so all his life the poplace could think of no other explanation than that which their superstitions sug gested and only the most stren uous objections on the part of the apostles prevented the sac rifice from being offered to them as gods in this delicate situation they bore a brave testimony the disappointed lycaoiv ians lent a ready ear to the jews who came from pisidian antioch ami iconium with then malicious pratings against the apostles to think that they mistaken two wandering jews for jupiter and mercury they were angerv with themselves and ready to put out their venom on those who they be lieved had deceived them so they lent their support to the kslanders anil countenanced the toning of one of thcirgods it is certainly no safe thing to
