outward trip and on the return al though he did no actually touch the city on the home journey he met the elders of the church at miletus not to be confused with mileta the island now known as malta and much space is riven to the apostles farewell message tu these men ephesus was one of the chief cities in the roman pro vince of asia facing out to the aegean sea we remem ber that on his second journey the apostle was forbidden of the holy ghost to preach the word in asia acts 100 it seems to have been some com pensation that the first con vert in europe was a woman from that very regionlydia of thyatira tv 14 who doubt less carried the testimony to that city of purple which was her home that prohibition which so disturbed tne soui of the a- postle was no indication that clod was leaving asia out of his plan it was a matter of the grand strategy of the gospel god knew when the time was ripe to attack this great center of commerce with all its magnificence and all its darkness 3o far as we know paul spent more contin uous time in ephesus than in any other place in the course of his missionary journeys despite the deficiency that he found in ephesus because of the defective preaching of apollos 182420 a strong church was built there to whom paul later wrote one of the most sublime arid most profound of all his epistles and in which we can trace the spiritual advance of the ephes- ians nevertheless this church which began so well was at tacked by the termite of self- love and years later the mess age of the risen lord through the apostle john to this very church was thou hast left thy first love i will re move thy candlestick out of his place except thou repent nothing so destroys a testi mony as selfsufliciency that and the love of chrict are mutually antagonistic over many another ephesus one might write how are the mighty fallen verse by verse acts 19 s and he went into the synagogue disput ing and persuading once again his ministry was to the jew first and he went where they would be found notice again the disputing and persuading the same words used in last weeks les son 184 gr note too the theme of his witness the king dom of god verse 9 but when divers spake evil of that way he separated the disciples in the school of one tyrannus quite a repetition of what had occurred in corinth this time however he apparently rented a teaching center which would attract men of studious mind notice the use of the word way which should be capitalized as a formal de signation of christianity verse 10 two years all they which dwelt in asia both jews and greeks the time notice belongs to the regular teaching program mentioned in verse 9 there was however a great out reach covering the entire asian province the seven churches of revelation 1 to 3 besides that in colosse and others owned their origin to this vigorous campaign chap 2017 and from miletus he called the elders lie is now on the return journey and calls a meeting of the ephesian elders at miletus a little to the south of ephesus verse is ye know after what manner 1 have been with you pauls con duct was open to inspection happy is the man who can challenge the scrutiny of all verse 19 serving the lord with all humility and with many tears and tempta tions see what marked the service slave service accord ing to the greek of paul humility tears trials the ministry was not a highly respected profession which gives one standing to this man it was a bond service lukes record says nothing about the lying in wait of the jews in ephesus nor about pauls lighting with beasts at ephesus 1 cor 1332 his time there must have been far more hectic and strenuous than the record indicates verse 20 1 kept back noth ing have taught you pub licly and from house to house there was no com promising or pussyfooting with paul the public teaching doubtless refers to the daily lectures 199 but here also is pastoral work visiting and ratechizing in addition see chapter 2034 when did he sleep verse 21 testifying repentance toward god and faith toward our lord jesus christ the note of repent ance which markd the min istry of john the baptist i matt 32 and of our lord 4 17 and of the day of pent ecost acts 23s till rings clear in the preaching of piul the great exponent of justification bv faith encour- jaged no shallow oelievism verse 22 go bound in the spirit unto jerusalem this can onlv mean that a sense of necessity of com mand had gripped him he had no freedom to turn in any other direction the bonds of god were upon him verse 23 the holy ghost witnesseth that bonds and afflictions abide me we are told o such witnessing later in his journey 214 10 11 but apparerntlv this whole journey was marked by such forewarning either in his own soul or bv the prophetic ministry of others verse 24 neither count 1 my life dear unto myself so that 1 might finish my course to testify the gospel of the grace of god paul regarded himself expendable for the gospels sake his life was a course which- would be fully run when he had finished the testimony which god had given him there was nothing else to live for verse 25 ye shall see my lace no more this statement is one of the problems of the new testament was paul speaking prophetically or was he drawing a conclusion from the prophecies of bonds and afflictions 1 it is hard to know verse 20 1 am pure from the blood of all men eew of us would dare to make such a claim would god it might be true of us verse 27 l have not shun ned to declare unto you all the counsel of god compare with verse 20 the two give us the negative and positive aspects of a complete ministry the heart of the lesson ministerial farewells are sad affairs at best if the minister is well loved and respected there are many sad hearts if the people are happy at the departure it is a still sadder condition paul was one minister who could say in all good consc ience 1 have done my best so sure was he that he had done his best that he confident ly affirmed lam pure from the blood of all men and chal lenged the elders with the truth of the statement by what means had paul thus fully discharged his duty and freed himself of all respon sibility two other state ments give the answer 1 kept back nothing that was profitable and i have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of god noth ing profitable withheld all the counsel of god declared here we have the complete minis try negatively and positively stated it is a big claim and one which few ministers can make if for no other reason than that few of us know all the counsel of god and few of us are able to judge of all that is profitable yet that is the standard of new testament ministry hut the manner in which paul conducted his ministry was an equal factor in his right to make such a claim he wrought as a bondslave with all the humilitv of a bondslave not with all the pride of the worlds most lcnouned preacher no calling is so honorable as that of the gospel yet no calling demands such humility for effective operation there are strange contradictions in the kingdom or god if pride must be absent in order to secure an effective ministry so must covetous- ness look at verse 33 paul did not ask for a salary con- tract in writing as one of my students was advised to do be fore accepting a pastorate i am glad to say he took higher ground covetousness is as fatal as pride to a spiritual ministry not onlv pastor but all christian workers must avoid these as thev would the plague the complete ministry will have two accompaniments tears and trials v 19 the religious showman may know little of these but churches will not be built and regions will not be evangelized 1910 without them we cannot know the fellowship of christ without the fellowship of his sufferings ami we cannot share in his redemptive labors without sharing his cross by such a road we reach the place where we can say 1 am pure from the blood of all men i wonder how manv of us will arrive railway centennial day a aurora a special tribute is to be paid not only to aurora re sidents but to all those who during long years have con tributed to
