Paul prayed for each member of t:«? con gregation as he stood before them ami again when he wa« in city far away lie prayed for them, How We Must Witness For Christ When we witness for God first of all we must receive the word of God. We in this enlightened country of ours can not offer the excuse that we cur.ot receive the word, for there is nowhere in this broad land of ours Jerusujem, and all Judea, anil in j that we cannot hear and read the Gospel. To receive the word we mest welcome the word. If we are to be witnesses for Christ we lust enjoy the spirit of Christ. We may be criti cized and pcrseoqted but this can be borne becuuse of the joy that the holy spirit will give. Ine witness for Christ must follow Christ’s example Sumaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.

When we live the Christian life we become unconsciously the heralder anti forerunner preparing the way for evangelists ami missionary's to do their work of preaching the Gos pel. Forward with the Gospel The Thessalonians had given up their idols ur.d paganism. They had proven that they were followers of the Christ. Instead of bowing down to man-made idols of gold, silver, etc., they were looking for the com ing of the Lord in all his power, maj esty and glory. The Gospel which they had accepted and told to the world was the Gospel that had been exemplified as the gospel of their Lord, redeemer and reigning king.

We arc to also learn what ye can for a model form this ancient church. A strict study of this lesson should make of us better Christians. Real Christians witness ing as the strongest means of evan gelism is the keynote of today’s les son. Force and excitement over persuasion the saw dust trail and all manner of persuasion are of later origin. The early churih followed the simple method laid down- by the Sav iour. This method was not to be by force or by power, but by God’s spirit. “Ye shall be my witnesses” '1 be Thessalonians are an example of j what Christianity was ir. the early church. They were not just Chris tians in name but were Christians in reality. Their religion was a part of their very life. Paul mentions their ‘work o^f faith”, their “labor of love” and their '"‘patience of hope”, and best of all their tenacious hope for the reality of their religion in, the world to come. The Thessalonians’ religion was not confined to the inside of tne church, but was put into active ex pression in their daily walks of life Their hope in the Saviour was always bearing fruit. They were not satisfied in merely saying “Lord, Lord,” but they actually did the things that he told them to do. They were as the builder that erected his house on the rock. They listened to the words of Jesus and then did them. They were perfectly willing that the works which they did to be used as etsl of their faith. When we reach the point that we are willing for our faith to be measured by our works for God. We are then well or., the road to that state of religious perfection that will safely waft us over the sea of death into our eternal home. A re ligion that will measure up to that of the early Christians will be a safe guide for us to follow. When we are willing that for our life to be made a I Moody, Spurgeon, the Wesleys, Lu ther, etc., are examples of great l'ul lowers that it might be weil for us to emulate, but not to the neglect of a personal following of Join. Paul himself old the early church to follow him as he followed Christ. Of course this procedure was to be followed only so long as he conformed exactly to Christ’s example. Inspiration to Believers As these early followers of Christ emulated Paul and Christ the fact made them worthy of being emulat ed. Speaking the Truth If we are to be witnesses for Christ we must spread the truth of Christ. Spread the Truth If we are to be Christ’s witnesses we must tell the world about him. The Thessalonian Christians person ally spread the glad tidings into the remote parts of their country. Their faith in God had thu-s .been sent forth till its tidings sounded far and wide over the land. The truths that were set forth from that little church In he long ago has resounded down thru the ages and its precepts are prac ticed by Christians to this ay. Influence If we are to be witnesses for Christ we must witness for him. Lets examine ourselves an ascertain whether or not our lives arre a wit ness for Christ. Would our lives stand the searchlight of God’s all- seeing eye? Oil man, would we be on the side of influence for Christ? If we are to .witness for Christ we must tell the glad news by our walks before man. If we are to be wit nesses for Christ we must so live that the world will look upon us as test of our faith it is then that we Christ’s witness.

What was the secret of early Christians’ power? We find the answer in verses 9 and 10. How they turned to God from idols to serve the true and living God, and to wait for his son from heaven to deliver him from the wrath to come. All the idols of the world are not made of mortar and stone. We have many idols in our midst today. Anything that re quires our attention and work to the utter exclusion of God’s claim upon us. Some of today’s idols are the longing for fame, wealth, social po sition, etc. When we follow this lean exclusively we are not following the teaching of the early church as did the Thessalonians. As ambassadors of God we may go to all parts of the world and preach sermons and noth ing else is a mistake. It is not so much the sermon as the living of a life that reveals the heart within.

First, we car be witnesses by our daily life. Paul tells the Thes salonians of his own behaviour while he was laying the foundation of the church at Thessallorica. He worked here against great odds. He was wil ling to do this for their good. Witness by the Help of the Holy Spirit This is the greatest driving force in the world when it is available in the Holy Spirit. Those who, animated by the holy spirit, will display this to the world and man is sure to take notice. When our lives are animated by the holy spirit, we do not have to tell people that we are a Christian. They will know it. Also, if we are not a Christian they will know it. We can itness by the will of God. The apostle wTote the church, “knowing your election of God.” We often hear of the doctrine of election, and we are led to conclude that the elect are those whose election are known to others. They are those who have discovered God’s will in their lives and have displayed to others that they have been chosen of God; be cause of this witness to the will of God. Witncs in ,Hope. Hope burns so fervently in the breast of the believer that during the vicissitudes ard storms of life can be patient till those storms of life are calmen and he can be heard and een. This will always come to those who witness in hope. Witness in Faith This is one of the most valuable attributes of the Christian, and come? first. Faith in the power of Almightj God can accomplish anything for th' ongoing of our Christian, being. We Christ becomes as a consuming fire, the further it goes the more It spreads. Little do we think that perhaps some idle word spoken may have an influence on down thru the ages. It is a fact that all that we say or do will have some kind of influ ence, and as Christ’s witness it is our business to make witnessing for him. Witnessing a Success for Christ If the Gospel is to be spread it Is preeminently important that we as enristian people witness for the ’gos pel. It is largely the spoken words or walks of Godly people that the etern- nal destiny ot many people is sealed. Has the thought ever come to us that we maj’ be responsible for the eternal destiny of some human be ing? It is through God’s witnesses that he informs mankind of their du ty to him. The Holy Bible is a wit ness for God the reason that inspired men penned God’s will so that count less millions throughout ail the ages can in turn read, heed and become witnesses for him. In the light of these facts man is not so important a being as some might have us think and that our responsibility is a question that should be uppermost in our minds as to how we were to use that responsibility. Christianity is as assertive today as it was in the past when the little Thessialonian church wielded such an influence that pagans were converted to Christianity. One of the assertive powers of the Chris tian is with the non-christian is that they may not be a Christian they are impressed with people who are wit nesses. That should be a great conso lation to the Christian to know that they have pointed the way to some traveler down the avenues of time though they were not Christians. We are then impressed with the im mensity of what it means to be a Christian. Those iwhb witness for Christ are always happy over the fact for they are impressed that they have performed a duty that will win favor with the '"’hrist who in turn will lie our intercessor to the Fatner The witness for Christ not only bene fits himself by so doing, but is made to know that he has helped some weary sojourner onward and upward. Inspiration The witness for Christ is an in spiration for others. I’aul is a strong example o'f this. His life before the Thesalonians that they become quali fied to render similar service to that w hich Paul had rendered. As they imulated Paul and the Lord they became worthy of bei g imulated. Can thq^ same be said of us? Also the Christian must exert an influence for Christ. The important thing is that deeds must correspond to words. The impression that we make with people must he consistent with the message we have to deliver by our daily walk. The glow of a Christian nersonality should make a profound impression aml promote the cause of -hristianity. the talk of people when having been a witness of Christ’s work will indirectly promote the work of the Saviour. In that witnessing has promoted’ within their beirg a desire to in turn become a witness. HOTEL LANIER Macon, Georgia Conveniently Located , Excellent Cafe Rates $1.50 and Up NEW YORK . . .
