j c macaulay dd approach to the lesson a lesson on the church under persecution might be approached with a reminder of the price that was asked of the apostles for their testimony to the lord jesus it is true that we have to depend on tradition for much of this and tradition is not always reliable but even john fox author of the famous book of martyrs accept ed the following accounts of the deaths of the apostles james the son of zebedee was slain with the sword by order of herod acts 121 2 philip was crucified at heliopolis in phrygia matthew was killed in nadabah ethiopia james the son of alphaeus was stoned and clubbed to death in jerusalem fox expressed doubt as to the identification of this james with jamas the lords brother andrew was crucified at edessa peter was crucified head down ward according to tradition paul as one born out of due season 1 cor 15 s was be headed in rome thomas was thrust through with a spear in india thaddaeus was crucified at edessa bartholomew was beaten and crucified in india simon zelotes was crucified in britain john was exiled to patmos but was recalled and escaped violent death in revelation 2 10 the church in smyrna is warned ye shall have tribulation ten days some believe that the phrase ten days is a mystical reference to the ten great persecutions which burst upon the church in the first three hundred years of its history fox in his book book of martyrs lists these also under nero ad 67 under dominion ad 81 under trajan ad 108 under marcus aurelius ad 162 under severus ad 192 under maximus ad 235 under decius ad 249 under valerian ad 257 under aurelian ad 274 under diocletian ad 303 if the teacher can get hold of a copy of this classic work on martyrology it has recently been republished by the john c winston co phila delphia 7 250 the reading of a few chapters would be a great heart preparation for teaching this lesson as well as a practical com mentary on the lesson itself re member that the scripture portions were written by men who knew what it was to suffer for christs sake persecution is not simoly one of the strange phenomena of history it is a present fact we are wonder fully blessed in the freedom which we enjoy in the united states the best way to lose that freedom is to take it for granted only by utter loyalty to christ and unremit ting vigilance can we preserve this precious heritage but even the freedom guaranteed us by the con stitution will not exempt us from sufferings for christs sake in the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer i have over come the world john 1033 verse by verse 1 pet 5 6 humble yourselves that he may exalt you those to whom peter was writing were passing through fiery trial chap 4 12 and he exhorts them to allow these afflictions to have the humb ling effect that god intended gods real purpose was to exalt them but he can exalt only humble people and since all of us are far prouder than we ought to be the humbling has to come first see luke 14 11 verse 7 casting all your care upon him for he careth for you just as a lot of money lying around the house is a worry the anxiety being lifted when it is deposited in a bank which makes the safe keeping of deposits its concern so we should determine to deposit all our affairs in gods hands and knowing how he cares for us and coooooooadoooooo stouffville sand gravel limited are prepared

machivrb our wellbeing we have no more worry verse 8 be sober be vigilant because your adversary walketh about being free of care does not mean carelessness we are to keep hold of ourselves and be alert for the great adversary is ravening for the prey principalities and powers mustering their unseen array wait for thy unguarded hours watch and pray verse 9 whom resist steadfast in the faith the way to resist the devil is simply to stand in our place immovable in the assurance that god is with us our stead fastness will give courage to other sorely pressed saints but if we go under others will give up the battle too this is not a lone fight verse 10 all grace eternal glory the grace that has caiied us is suflicient to keep us through every situation till the eternal glory breaks upon us the operation of this all grace will be to his eternal glorv but it works for us eternal glory 2 cor 4 17 see how this all grace works it sustains us in the little while of suffering and brings us out per fectly adjusted strongly set on the foundation settled in the place appointed in the building of god verse 11 to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever this sudden breaking out in doxology is very much like paul see rom 113330 102527 it is wonderful to look to the end and even out of the midst of affliction to ascribe glory and dominion to him who leads on from grace to glory rev 1 9 companion in tribulation for the testimony of jesus christ it cost our lord the shedding of his own precious blood to establish his testimony and it is costly business to main tain and spread abroad his testi mony it cost the aged john banish ment to desolate patmos are we willing to be companions in tribu lation with those who suffer for the word of god verse 10 i was in the spirit and heard in patmos out wardly but in the spirit inwardly if we are in christ in the heaven- lies and in the spirit our earthly situation matters little how many times we fail to hear the voice of god because we are not in the spirit verse 11 i am alpha and omega these are the first and last letters of the greek alphabet christ is the end for christ is the beginning christ the beginning for the end is christ rev 79 a great multitude which no man could number in dispensational teaching these are regarded as the saved out of the great tribulation the brief period of antichrists reign at the close of the present age i do not see any reason however why the vision cannot also represent the whole multitude of the redeemed the victory of the redeemed is here beautifully portrayed verse 10 salvation to our god and unto the lamb see how the throne and the cross are linked the eternal decrees and the mighty sacrifice are joined in bringing in the great salvation twentyseven times in the revelation our lord is referred to as the lamb so his sacrifice is remembered in heaven verse 13 what and whence the redeemed really create a sensation in heaven sin ful earthdwellers transformed into spotless inhabitants of heaven no wonder the natives shout the doxology of verse 12 verse 14 these are they which came out of great tribulation and have washed their robes in the blood of the lamb the greek discover how good iced tea can be make tea double strength and while still hot pour into glasses filled with cracked ice i add sugar and lemon to taste mm a ihl tea reads the great tribulation which lends support to the dispen sational interpretation from another view this whole age has been one long tribulation to gods people so the same can be said of them all and the second statement is certainly common to all the redeemed the only way to have white robes is to have them wash ed in blood of the lamb see jeremiah 222 isaiah lis 1 john 17 the heart of the lesson when our lord said to peter upon this rock i will build my church and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it he made it quite clear that the clash between his church and the powers of hell would be no childs play all the resources of the kingdom of dark ness are thrown into the attack on the church of god which he hath purchased with his own blood in our lesson portions we have the testimony of three apostles to the truth of our lords statement notice the language of the apostle paul to young timothy he uses his own sufferings see 2 tim 1 1218 to indicate that the chris tian needs to be strong in grace chap 2 1 the christian life is a warfare with all the hardships which war entails vs 3 4 it is arduous wrestling v 5 it is real toil v 6 peter tells his brethren not to regard fiery trial as a strange thing but as a tning to be expected and even as a matter of rejoicing 1 pet 4 12 13 since suffering in christs cause is a communion of his suffering and that is only lay ing up for us the exceeding joy at his appearing he warns us that we have a stealthy ravenous ad versary whose assaults can be resisted only by a steadfast faith so long as we give the answer of humility and faith to our trials they will become gods instru ments of sanctification i pet 510 john looked over the waters of the mediterranean from patmos to the scenes of his labors in pro vincial asia and as he thought of the heroic faith of the saints there he was proud to call himself their companion in tribulation and in the kingdom and patience of jesus christ rev 19 as he looked dowrf the centuries with the en lightened eye of the seer he saw a long trail of blood not diminish ing with the centuries but mount ing to a veritable flood in the rapid crisis period of the consumma tion but out of that long tribula tion and out of the last short deluge of blood he saw the triump hant hosts rising to the glory of the fathers house all washed in the blood of the lamb the weapons of their warfare exchang ed for the tokens of victory such unanimous testimony with that of our lord himself john 151821 should save us from the false expectation that the christian life will be one of ease but with the victory of christ to cheer us we can go singing into battle john 1033 cameras amateur cameras movie cameras movie projectors screens tripods amateur lighting equipment filters exposure meters etc at cadieux
