the lord and in the power of hfcs misht eph 6 10 the lesson a a whole after evangelizing in macedonia and acnaia and establishing churches in philippi thessalonica berea corinth and possibly other cities paul and his companions made their way back to antioch and there reported to the church the progress of the gospel thus his second missionary journey had come to an end acts is 22 23 shortly after this the apostle start ed forth upon his third and last journey prior to his arrest in jeru salem apollos an eloquent man and mighty in the jewish scrip tures acts is 24 had been led into fuller light through priscilla and aquila at ephesus he left there and passed over to corinth where he was received as a teacher of the new faith and where he gave valuable ministry of an edifying character while he was still labor ing there paul after visiting vari ous places between antioch and ephesus came to the latter city and contacted the group of apollos dis ciples and was used of god to lead them into clear gospel light he remained there three years and a great work of god resulted from his testimony from there he sent timothy and erastus over to mace donia while he remained in ephe sus it was at this time the incident occurred in connection with deme trius and the silver shines for diana verse by verse acts 19 23 there arose no small stir about that way this was the name given to the christian message in the beginning it was designated the way because it purported to show the true way of life so great had been its victories as recorded in verses 11 to 22 and so many had been converted that it affected greatly the trade in images of diana the mother- goddess of ephesus this led to a protest on the part of the silver smiths whose business was falling off verse 24 demetrius a silver smith which made silver shrines for diana diana the moon god dess was worshipped by the pagan populace of ephesus with fanatical feror visitors to the cities as well as residents bought the silver images made by demetrius and others and cherished them for idolatrous use it is easy to see how this illicit business enriched its producers and how the gospel made serious inroads on their ill- gotten gains and so produced bitter discontent and enmity in their hearts verse 25 by this craft we have our wealth touch a mans pocket- book and you touch his heart moved by covetousness demetrius had little diffculty in stirring up the indignation of his fellow crafts men against paul and the gospel that he preached verse 26 this paul hath turned away much people saying that they be no gods which are made with hands nothing could be truer than this charge against the apostle acts 1729 1 cor 10 19 20 and probably no one realized klondike kate not agrieviv mrs kate rockwell matson

taught more than demetrius and his associates who must often have chuckled contemptuously at the superstition of their customers who would venerate a bit of silver which they themselves had fashioned into an idol verse 27 our craft is in danger to be set at nought this is ever the cry of the charlatan who endeavors to enrich himself by preying upon the fears and superstitions of man kind the clear light of the gospel reveals all these deceitful cults as they really are and sets men free from their baneful influence so that they no longer pour their money into the coffers of the deceivers who have no concern whatever about the souls of their dupes but whose j covetous practices 2 pet 23 cry aloud for judgment they love the wages of unrighteousness and resent any interference with their unholy gains verse 28great is diana of the ephesiansn wrought up to frenzy by the speech of demetrius the fanatical mob shouted their accla mation of the goddess whose image a large black meteorite was sup posed to have fallen down from heaven and in whose honor a great temple one of the seven won ders of the ancient world had been built at ephesus verse 29 having caught gaius and aristarchus men of mece- donia these were two macedonian converts mentioned elsewhere in scripture acts 20 4 27 2 col 4 10 who sometimes accompanied paul on his missionary tours the ephesian mob laid hold on them when unable to apprehend the apostle himself verse 30 the disciples suffered him not paul free of any taint of cowardice would have pushed his way into the midst of the crowd hoping doubtless to impress them by an address but his friends urged him not thus to endanger his life and liberty and so restrained him eph 6 13 the whole armour of god this is listed for us in the verses that follow it is complete spiritual panoply for the protection of all parts of the warrior but his back the christian soldier is called upon to stand with his face to the foe verse 14 loins girt about with truth peter tells us to gird up the loins of the mind just as the orientals flowing garments were drawn in and bound tightly about him by the girdle so our thoughts are to be brought into control by the truth the breastplate of righteousness is that practical righteous behavior apart from which none can face our great spiritual enemies with confidence verse 15 feet snod with the preparation of the gospel of peace we are to be characterized by a joyful readiness to spread abroad the gospel which tells how sinful man may find peace with god see isa 527 verse 16 the shield of faith that is confidence in god this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith 1 john 54 as we put our trust in the living god the enemies darts are power less to hurt us verse 17 the helmet of salva tion it is the assurance of our eternal salvation that gives us cour age to face the foe the sword of the spirit which is the word of god it is not merely the bible as a whole but the passage might be rendered the sayings of god note how the lord jesus used the sayings of god to defeat satan when tempted in the wilderness verse 18 praying always apart from prayer which is the expression of daily dependence upon the lord we should still be helpless in the hour of need we are to pray not only for ourselves but for all saints because all are engaged in rtie same conflict with wicked spirit in the heavenlies jv 22 i- the heart of the lesson wherever god is working in the awakening and salvation of the lost we may expect to see satanic opposition developed and this often of the most cruel and unreasonable character the hearts of unsaved men already at enmity against god are easily aroused to open hostility when the gospel of his grace is being proclaimed and souls are being won for christ nothing so enrages the ungodly as to be called upon to repent and face the sins in his presence and nothii so emphasizes the falsity of flesh religion as the manifestation of tl regenerating power of the ho spirit we need not therefore surprised or disappointed when w find our best efforts to win men fi christ misunderstood and our lo repaid by hatred thi- is the wa the world treated christ and may expect to find it the same unrelenting hostility to god as hj did c jw telephone calls have mushroomed in the last two years and theyre still zooming that u one reason why when you pick
