page eight the tribune stouffvflle ont thursday may 29th 1941 sunday school lesson lesson june 9 broadening christian horiz- izons the axtioch golden text for i am not asham ed of the gospel of christ for it is the power of god unto salva tion to everp one that believeth to the jew first and also jo the greek rom 116 the iiessox as a whole after god had through peter opened the door of faith to the gen tiles acts 157 it was through paul that the worldwide proclama tion of the gospel was started through all the adjacent lands thus continuing a movement that was destined to spread to every nation under heaven even in apostolic days this was in measure fulfilled col 16 23 antioch in syria was the place where the great gentile missionary campaign began in read ing the acts it is important to not ice that there are two cities of this name and both are prominent in early christian testimony the other one was antioch in plsidia a prov ince farther north see acts 13 it was in the sprian antioch a spon taneous work among those outside of the jewish fold began and thither barnabas persudaded saul as he was still called to go as his fellow la borer the work was a marked evi dence of the working of the holy spirit from its inception like every true divine awakenng the human factors paled into insignificance com pared with the manifest power of the spirit of god working in sovereign grace preparing hearts for the truth and so empowering the proclaimers of the gospel that it led to definite repentance toward god and falh in our lord jesus christ acts 2021 verso by verse acts 1118 preacning to none but unto the jews only as the scattered disciples fled from the jerusalem danger zone they carried the glad tidings everywhere but proclaimed it only to the jews of the dispersion who were found in large numbers in the adjacent countries notably in phoenicia the island of cyprus and in syria of which antioch was the capital it was not the mind of the lord that the message should still be as in the days of his flesh confined to the lost sheep of the house of israel matt 1524 for he had definitely given commandment to carry it to every creature mark 16 15 it was their lack of vision and of faith that ed them to preach at first to jews only iverse 20 when they were come to antioch spake unto the grecians ordinarily we are to distinguish be tween greeks and grecians in the record of the acts the termgreek hellenes refers to gentiles greek by origin or nationality the word grecians is used as a translation for a different word and means hellenists that is jews who were dorn among the gentiles and more or less influenced by their manner of life and philosophies here the best manuscripts give hellenes these nroaderminded jewish believers of cyprus and cyrene ventured to carry the gospel directly to the gentiles in the city of antioch verse 21 a great number be- lived and turned unto the lord when the lords command was obeyed and the results were far greater than man could have tor- seen it was as though the hearts of these needy idolaters were as pre pared soil into which the seed of the word fell and brought forth much fruit a manifest work of the spirit had begun and went on for some time verse 22 the church in jeru salem sent forth barnabas when the news of the antioch movement reached the mother church at jerusalem there was an immediate response at a meeting called to consider this new turn of it was decided to send one whom they all trusted the former levlte barn abas to the syrian capital that he might obtain firsthand information as to what was transpiring there verse 23 when he had seen the grace of god he was glad barnabas rejoiced when he found the teports of the salvation of the gen tiles confirmed he at once threw himself into the work by taking part in the ministry of the word and exhorting these young believers that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the lord thus living up to his name which means son of exhortation or consolation verse 24 a good man and full of the holy ghost and of faith such is tho description of barnabas he was one who so walked with god that his testimony counted for tho spirit of god wrought through him and we arc told much people was added unto the lord they wero not merely added to the local church but they were joined to the lord 1 cor 617 this is a proof that tho body of christ was already formed by the spirits baptism before the truth of it was committed to parchment in the writings of st paul 1 cor 1212 13 verse 25 barnabas departed to seek saul who had intro duced saul to the jerusalem church acts 927 felt instinctively that this was just the suited one to carry on the great work of- witnessing to the gentiles doubtless saul had told hinof the commislon he had received at the time of his conver sion acts 261618 so barnabas went to tarsus and persuaded saul to return with him to antioch verse 26 the disciples were called christians first in antioch the number of believers in christ so increased that thy attracted the attention of the populace who gave them the name that has belonged to his followers ever since chrisiaw this was no doubt divinely ordered verse 27 prophets came from jerusalem uuto antioch there was definite intercommunion between the jewish church in palestine and this gentile church in syria verse 28 agahus signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth specially gifted by the spirit of god this man predicted a great famine soon to take place which would specially affect the be lievers who were in judea verse 29 determined to send relief the young christians recog nized this as an oportunity to mani fest their unity with these older groups of believers by conributing to the alleviation of their temporal necessities verse 30 sent it by the hands of barnabas and saul en trusting their gifts of love to these two servants of christ they bade them carry the expression of their fellowship to the elders in jerusalem there is wide disagreement as to what the present world conflict will be called possibly it will be known as the long war a showgirl at the windmill theatre london england is judy mccrea so
