205w this weeks sunday school lesson the gospel fok all golden text for vhooever hall call upon the name of the lord hall be aved rom 1013 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson all teachers of theology know that there are always some stu dents who take delight in put ting their professor on the spot with such questions as do you accept the five points of calvin ism v one of these points is of course the limited atone ment namely that christ died only for the elect and that is a hotly debated point strangely enough both those who hold it and those who do not appeal to calvin one theologian will bring forth proof that calvin held the limited atonement an other will take pains to show that in his later works calvin yielded to the pressure of the teaching of an atonement avail able to all one statement he did endorse as acceptable was that the atonement was sufficient for the elect it seems to me that there is frequently a degree of irrever ence if not of impertinence in some of our discussions we seem unwilling to grant that there are depths in the divine mind beyond our ability to plumb what is clearly revealed we should accept with confi dence what is swathed in- mys tery we should handle with cau tion some things may be stated quite categorically 1 the need for an atonement is universal for sin is universal rom 31012 2 the love which provided that atonement embraced the whole world john 316 3 the command of our lord was that the gospel be preached in all the world matt 2819 mark 1615 4 a bona fide offer of salva tion is made in the gospel to all men the invitation is univer sal rev 2217 5 such is the nature of the gospel that men are morally re sponsible for their response to it john 318 in other words we have a whosoever gospel and that is the great theme of our lesson verse by verse aots 1034 i perceive that god is no respecter ot persons peter always knew that this was true within the confines of is rael but that it extended be yond israel was a revelation to him verse 35 but in every na tion he that feareth him is accepted men are not accepted with god for the color of their skin or the length of their geneology but for the at titude of their heart notice that fearing god and working right eousness always go together verse 36 preaching peace by jesus christ he is lord of all while peace is indeed by jesus christ i be lieve that here by or through jesus christ should be attached to preaching he was a preach er of the good tidings of peace and secured the peace that he preached through his cross notice emphasis on the lord ship of christ verse 37 that word began from galilee after the baptism which john preached here is a historical note mark ing the beginning of the gospel verse 38 god anointed je sus of nazareth with the holy ghost and with power who went about doing good jesus is the anointed one the christ he was at once god incarnate and a godanointed man in the power of that anointing he wrougll his mighty acts verse 39 and we are wit nesses who they slew and hanged on a tree peter did not forget acts 18 nor did he mince words about who were respons tble for the death of christ see 223 314 15 410 verse 40 him god raised up the third day and shewed him openly the resurrection was the pivot of the apostolic message it is the keystone of the arch of christian truth therefore it was attested by many infallible proofs 13 verse 41 unto wit nesses chosen before of god who did eat and drink with him as the resurrection was a divine operation so the wit nesses were sovereignly chosen it was a sacred trust for the eating and drinking compare luke 244143 verse 4 2 and he comman ded us to preach ordained of god to be the judge of quick and dead compare 1731 john 522 27 this item in their message must have been one of the commandments in cluded in acts 12 verse 43 to htm all the prophets witness whom ever belleveth in him shall re ceive remission of sins where did peter get this insight into the teaching of the prophets se luke 244447 dovnot miss the whosoever of this vers verse 44 the holy ghost fell on all uieai which heard the word no waiting for cere monial formalities the response to the word was instant for god had prepared their hearts vers 45- they of the cir cumcision were astonished they did not realize that a new dispensation had dawned when the distinction of jew and gen tile would have no validity for salvation verse 46 for they heard them speak with tongues some outward manifestation of the spirit was necessary to con vince the jews of gods accept ance of the gentiles this has been called the gentile pente cost verse 47 can any man for bid water that these should not be baptized peter who a while ago was unwilling to go to the home of the gentile is now ready to receive him into the christian community through the rite of baptism verse 4s and he comman ded them to be baptized in the name of the lord baptism is a command as well as a sacred privilege compare in the name of the lord with matthew 2s 19 and acts 195 romans 10 s the word is nigh thee the word ot faith which we preach no pilgrimages are needed no re ligious crusades the mighty deed was done on calvary now for us there is the word to be believed verse 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that god hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved here is a confession based on a belief the emphasis is on the word lord verse 10 believeth unto righteousness con fession unto salvation two great principles are here 1 justification by faith and 2 no salvation apart from the lordship of christ verse 12 no differ ence between the jew and the greek rich unto all that call upon him here the truth with which peter was struggling in acts 10 is clearly enunciated verse 13 for whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved the third whosoever in our lesson once again the emphasis is on lord salvation is not from christ the teacher or christ the example but christ the lord the heart of the lesson both ur passages were add ressed to romans the portion in acts constituted peters dec laration to the roman cornelius and his company and linked with that we have part of pauls great doctrinal statement to the roman christians it is interesting to note the differences in the two statements peter concentrates on the his torical facts concerning christ while paul deals with the hu man response necessary for en tering into the provided salva tion notice the facts wliich peter lists the life of christ the death of christ and the resurrec tion of christ as for the life he declares that it was one of ministry in the power of the anointing of the holy spirit notice that peter who charged the jews with the death of christ very directly when add ressing them is more general in his statement to gentiles whom they slew the resur rection he declares was openly and fully attested he presents himself and his companions as witnesses both of the wonderful works of christs life and of the fact of his resurrection two high offices peter claims for jesus universal lord v36 and universal judge- v42 in the name of this august person peter extend the offer of re mission of sins v43 in keep ing with the testimony of all the prophets in pauls statement the facts are taken for granted and our responsibility regarding them is the matter pressed heart and mouth are called to unite in a rue response no mere intellec tual assent to the gospel facts will suffice they must be re ceived into the depths of ones being so that the whole life will feel the impact of them the crucified risen and exalted je sus is acknowledged as lord believing in him is nothing less than that where there is no confession of him as lord there- is no true faith while peter and paul ap proach their theme in such diff erent ways see how they speak with one voice 1 they bath insist on the lordship of jesus aots 1036 rom 109 2 they both call to faith in him acts 1043 rom 1011 3 they both herald a who soever gospel acts 1043 rom 101 13 4 they both recognize the equal right of jew and gentile in the oospe acts 1034 35 rom
