lessox as a wholr we have been tracing oat the course of the stream of gods grace from its bubbling up in jerusilem out through judea into samaria out to the desert to caesarea and on to antioch xow we come to the place where we see it going forth as a mighty river overflowing all its banks and bringing life and blessing to land after land and people after people it is impossible to estimate the value to all mankind of this worldwide missiomuy movement both from a temporal and an eternal standpoint for where a nation has been evangelized there have follow ed always great material as well as spiritual blessings while the object of the truly godsent spiritendued missionary is not to civilize or to educate people but rather to lead them to a saving knowledge of christ yet everywhere that this knowledge is received there in a new life imparted and with that new life conies dissatisfaction with older and more primitive ways of existence evil customs filthy habits dirt and disease flee

carry the gifts given by the gentile believers to relieve the faminesufferers and thus to manifest their fellowship in christ on their return they brought with them john whose surname was mark this was the man who later wrote the gospel that bears his name he was intimately related to barnabas chap 131 there were in the church at antioch certain pro phets and teachers these men gifted by the holy spirit were being used of god to build and nurture the infant church the fact that five of them were laboring in connection with the one testimony gives some idea of the wide scope of the work that was in progress verse 2 the holy ghost said separate me barnabas and saul it is the prerogative of the holy spirit christs true vicegerent to qualify and send out laborers into the great harvest field he indicated to the church his will that these two men should be set aside for the special work of evangelizing the gentiles verse 3 they laid their hands on them and sent them away when the mind of god was revealed the church acquiesced and after a season of waiting upon him in prayer and fasting they expressed their fellowship with barnabas and saul by the laying on of hands a sign of identification and commenda tion and sent them forth with their confidence and blessing verse 4 they being sent forth by the holy ghost departed it was he in reality who sent them out the church

work in a jewish synagogue john mark was with them in a subordinate capacity verse 6 a certain sorcerer a false prophet barjesus evidently this man had heard of jesus as a miracle worker so he called himself the the son of jesus but he was a wicked charlatan mak ing capital of the credulity of an ig norant people such despicable char acters were not uncommon in those days simon the sorcerer of samaria was of the same type acts s9ll verse 7 sergius paulus a pru dent man he was the proconsul appointed by rome and was evident ly an earnest seeker after truth barjesus also called elymas sought to take advantage of him for his own profit the proconsu called for barnabas and saul and requested them to explain their message verse 8 elymas withstood them the crafty sorcerer realized that he would lose his hold on the proconsul if he were to accept the gospel as proclaimed by these christian teachers so he endeavour ed to thwart them in their efforts to win sergius paulus for christ verse 9- saul who also is call ed paul this is the last time the old name is used henceforth the apostle is designated paul whether after his illustrious convert the proconsul or not we cannot say detecting

his truth it was thus jesus addressed the phari sees who opposed him john 844 and the holy spirit so designates those who hate the truth today 1 john 310 paulsternly rebuked the opposer who was trifling with the welfare of the soul of the pro consul verse 11 thou shalt be blind he ronounced a judgment upon him which should manifest his real spiritual condition for he was a blind leader of

was done believed recognizing the message as the very word of god this gentile magistrate opened his heart to the truth and received in the simplicity of faith the gospel as the doctrine of the lord
