are pure what soever things are lovely whatso ever things are of good report if there be any virtue and if there be anv praise think on these things phil 48 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson someone has declared that in our busy workaday world medi tation has become a lost art un- happilv this is true generally even among christians life has become so strenuous that many feel that they have no time for the thoughtful reading of the word of god ami even when a portion of scripture is read daily it is soon forgotten because of occupation with so many less important tilings thus we are all in danger of becoming like the irav describ ed in james 123 21 who looks into a mirror but straightway forgets what manner of man he is in other words we are content to bo hearers onlv of the word not doers jas 122 if we would grow in grace and the knowledge of christ we must feed upon the word of god this implies far more than a cursory reading or hearing certain passages of scripture we need to heed the admonition read mark and inwardly digest we fulfill this as we take time to meditate upon the word itself meditation is mental and spiritual mastication it is in this way that we learn the mind of god and appreciate the precious- ness of the revelation he has given david wrote o how- love i thy law it is my meditation all the day psa 11997 and again my meditation of him shall be sweet psa 10134a we have two strik ing illustrations of the importance of eating the word in the cases of ezekiel ezek 3 13 and of john rev 10911 thus having appro priated gods truth for themselves they were strengthened for service and prepared to give it out to others it is only as we make the word of god our own by medita tion and obedience that we grow from spiritual babyhood to christ ian maturity as babies we need the milk of the word that we may grow thereby i pet 22 as we become well instructed we will enjoy feasting on the strong meat of the word 1 cor 32 heb 51214 the historical setting berea was the third macedonian city visited by paul and his com pany after their arrival in europe upon being released from prison in philippi paul and silas travel ed the high road to thessalonica where a new church was estab lished but when persecution broke out they went on to berea there they found a very openminded group of jews who received them cordially and searched the scrip tures diligently for confirmation of pauls teaching with the result that many were converted pauls letter to the philippians was written some years later from rome during his first imprison ment first timothy was written after his release and second timothy the last of pauls writ ings which the spirit of god has preserved for our edification was written during his second impri sonment in rome shortly before his martyrdom verse by verso acts 17 10 the brethren sent away paul and silas by night because of the vindictive spirit of certain unbelieving jews the christians at thessalonica hurried paul and silas secretly out of their city by night in order that they might go on to berea where it was hoped they would be unmolested verse 11 these were more noble than those in thessalonica their nobility was manifested by their lack of prejudice and bigotry and by their fairmindedness which led them to listen courteously to the gospel message and to search their old testament scriptures to see whether pauls preaching was in accordance with what was there written verso 12 therefore many of them believed as a result many of the jews in that city received the message in faith as also a number of greek women and men who were possibly proselytes or at least inquirers seeking after the knowledge of the true god the term honourable women would suggest that these were ladies of culture and refinement connected with important berean families verse 13 jews of thessalonica came and stirred up the people when news of the work of god at berea reached thessa lonica pauls former opponents were enraged and a group of them came on to berea in order to incite their coreligionists against the teachers of the new doctrine verse 14 the brethren sent away paul because he was the chief object of the jews hatred the brethren sent paul by a cir cuitous route to athens endeavor ing thus to throw his persecutors off the trail timothy who we now learn was also with paul and silas remained behind to help confirm the young converts verse 15 they that conduct ed paul brought him unto athens he remained there for a time wait ing for timothy and silas to rejoin him as quickly as circumstances permitted phil 4 8 whatsoever things are pure think on these things the more our hearts are occupied with things that are holy and beautiful the richer we shall be come spiritually if we allow our minds to dwell upon things that are evil we become defiled and our spiritual growth is hindered verse 99 the god of peace shall be with you as we practice that which is good and pleasing to god we will have an abiding sense of his presence with us as the god of peace keeping the heart at rest even in the midst of the most adverse circumstances 1 tim 1 12 let no man despise thy youth this should not be construed as an encourage ment to youthful vanity or arrog ance nothing so commends young christians as exemplary behavior the manifestation of kindly con sideration of others purity and modesty in life and conversation based upon appreciation of and obedience to the word of god verse 13 give attendance to reading the word used in the original text refers rather to read ing to others than simply for ones own edification this public read ing of the scriptures was most important when very few people had access to portions of the word of god even if able to read for themselves the teacher might link with this nehemiah 8s even in our own day when copies of the bible can be so readily obtained and literacy is so prevalent if is still important for preachers and teachers to keep this exhortation in mind verse 14 neglect not the gift that is in thee when timothy went forth as a fellow laborer with paul he was commended by the elders at lystra to the work of the lord as they and the apostle laid their hands upon him and prayed a special gift was given through the holy spirit to fit the young worker for his life of service verse 15 meditate upon these things by prayerful meditation the loly scriptures are assimilated spiritually it is allimportant that the servant of god give himself fully and completely to the study of the word if he would have a profitable ministry verse 16 take heed unto thy self and unto the doctrine no man is fit to minister to others who is careless as to his own behavior the teacher should be character ized by true piety as well as by a working knowledge of the great truths as revealed in the word of god 2 tim 2 15 a workman that needeth not to be ashamed just as an artisan working on any particular project needs to con sult carefully the plans and speci fications so do the servants of christ need to study the scrip tures diligently that they may discern clearly gods plan and purpose rightly dividing the word implies a recognition of the great outline of its doctrinal pro phetic and dispensational instruc tion 2 tim 413 bring the books the parchments although a prisoner in a roman dungeon paul i valued his books and literary materials jtst what these books land parchments contained we are not told but we may be sure that thej were either copies of scrip- ture portions or other edifying literature one is never too old to learn more of the truth of god and revealed in his word so long as mental clearness is retained the heart of the lesson we wrong our souls when we neglect the careful study of the word of god for it is only by meditation upon it that we grow in grace and in the knowledge of our lord and saviour jesus christ we should also avail our selves of helpful literature design ed to open up the scriptures but in regard to this we need to use careful discrimination for there are so many books pouring forth from socalled religious publishing houses today which are utterly misleading and
