the tribune stouffville oct thursday may 7 9m this weeks sunday school lesson paul ixdeb uvaiw in home golden text we know- that all thing work together for good to thein that love god to tiiem who are the called according to hh purpose koi- 2h approach to tfec lesson when the work of the gos pel was et its height in epheous se that the name of the lord jesus was being mag nified in the salvation of great numbers and in the confusion of the powers of darkness paul began to scan wider hori zons and declared 1 must also see rome acts 19 21 that word must was char acteristic of the apostle paul he lived in the imperative mood necessity was laid upon him 1 cor 9 1c from the day he met the lord on the damascus road the will of god was the great must for him and every new revelation of that will was accepted as another stage in the mighty imperative of his yielded life thus when home floated into his vision as part of gods program for him rome be came another must remem ber it was not the must of the tourist nor of the histor ian and archaeologist but the must of a divine com mission by this time paul had known enough of the opposi tion of the adversary to real ize that home would not fall easily to the gospel if the outer bastions had offered such stubborn resistance what could he expect from the main fortress criminals often fled to home for hiding in the vast throng but rome would be no city of refuge to the ambassa dor of christ still this vet eran of many a battle who already had scars to show was not ready to nurse his wounds he was out for new battles and new conquests i as all roads led to rome so all roads led from rome and surely this missionary strate gist could envision tne roman roads becoming the highways of the gospel to the ends of the earth once the testimony of christ was established in the worlds capita city but utile did he realize at that juncture by what meaik and in what condition he would reach rome he did not know that he would go there as a prisoner to spend at least two years acts 2s30 con fined to his rooms and guard ed by soldiers had things taken such a turn for us we probably should have wonder ed how this could help for ward the work evangeliza tion but from his narrow rooms with the roman guards watching his every move he wrote to his friends in philippi the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel phil 112 god knows when a bound servant will reach farther than a free servant so the attack en rome was mark ed by a new strategy paul was suffered to dwell by himself the written report o festus tsee 25 2427 and the report of the centurion regarding the voyage doubt less secured for paul this special treatment verse 17 1 have committ ed nothing against the people yet was 1 delivered pri soner from jerusalem paul knew that the christian faith wa not contrary to the jewish faith but was the ful fillment of it jewish blind ness to thl fact created the enmity and brought about pauls imprisonment separation jesus is indeed a divider of men see matthew 103435 verse 30 and paul dwelt two whole years and re ceived all that came here was one situation n which the people had come to the witness for the witness could not go to the people never theless all rome was filled with the message ee philip- plans 1 121s 4 22 verse 31 preaching the kingdom of god and teaching the lord jeus christ no man forbidding him once ain see the kingdom of god verse is they would land the lord jesus christ verse by verse acts 2s 14 so we went to ward home mark that won so it covers all the incidents since pauls arrest in jeru salem and especially since the voyage to rome began these incidents explain how a priso ner came to be directing the progress of the party so that the centurion in charge held things up for a week at puteoli to allow paul to visit with the saints there verse 15 appii forum and the three taverns the first was a village fortythree miles south of rome and the other was an inn on the same road ten miles nearer rome apparently contingents of be lievers from rome met paul at both places and their brotherly action cheered his spirit verse 10 the centurion de livered the prisoners but 1 central feed store phone 277 stouffville marmill chick starter growing mash in crumbles or pellet form order your agrico and aa quality

examined by three judges felix kestus and agrippa and none of them had found euse of death in him verse 19 but when the jews spake against it 1 was contrained to appeal unto caesar this was his privi- kge as a roman citizen act ually it was th6 weak policy of festus that brought about the appeal to caesar for festus knowing his innocence was ready to hand him over to the jewish court thus yielding tolin jewish clamor 25911 verse 20 for the hope o israel 1 am bound chain the hope of 1 the messiah they did not j know him when he came and not only cast him out but sought to destroy these who proclaimed him so they were abandoning their one and only hope verse 21 we neither re ceived letters neither any of the brethren spake any harm of thee this is really remarkable considering the intense bitterness which the jews entertained toward him perhaps they intended to send a delegation to conduct the prosecution verse 22 but we desire to hear everywhere it is spoken against that seemed like openmindedness consider ing the widespread prejudice against the christian faith which had even reached rome note the word sect in this verse the greek word so translated is the root of our word heresy and means an opinion sometimes it is used in a bad sense like our heresy 2414 and some times in a good sense as in 2i 5 where it is translated sect verse 23 he expounded and testified the kingdom of god persuading in this verse notice the message the king dom of god the method expounding testifying per suading the sources the law and the prophets the time from morning till evening the ultimate theme jesus see how the kingdom of god and jesus are linked verse 24 and some be lieved and some believed not once again the great put together acts ends with paul a prisoner chained and guarded but it ends with the word unhindered a con fined bound ikxiv but a free unhindered ministry more effective than if he had been free the heart of the lesson 1 have just been reading the report

enthusiastic opening- of srael s tne meetings by the lord im wt mayor the remarkable co operation of the public press all are marked features it is something for which to be very thankful the apostle pauls assault on home was very different not only was all that goes into the preparation of a modern campaign lacking but the evangelist himself entered rome as a prisoner instead of an enthusiastic parade see that sorry little band of chain ed men guarded by soldiers with a few brave souls who have hazarded the ridicule of the crowds to go out some miles to accompany one of the prisoners into the city in stead of a great public hall for the wellannounced meetings or even the use of a synagogue or a school this evangelist must content himself in the capital city of the empire with a small rented house thankful for the liberty to have any who would come to see him instead of an address of welcome he has the con stant watchfulness of a roman soldier and a chain it did not seem a very pro pitious opening for the christ for rome campaign but listen to the evangelists report the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the further ance of the gospel he is reporting great success great fruitfulness greax blessing indeed he is declaring that his bondage has turned out to be a real stroke of promotion for the work if he had been free the preaching would have been left
