Christ’s Authority As a Teacher
Christ exhibited authority as a
teacher. This authority was empha
sized by the sermon on the mount.

mon on the mount, in tact the night
previous Jesus spent in prayer. He
had just chosen his disciples. The
knowledge of the kingdom was be
coming known to the disciples. Who

and in the two metaphors that we
studied a few weeks back, namely,
the salt and light. What is meant by
service in the great sermon ? This is
answered in the last section of this
great address
Applied Authority
In this sermon on the mount is a
vivid description of twodifl'erent con
ditions or states, the hearer and the
doer. It can be compared as the Lord
compared it to two foundations. The
hearer only is likened unto a man
who built his house upon a founda
tion of sand. Something that would
bear the building if there were no
rains, winds nor storms, but if any of
the incliment elements enveloped it
it was sure to fall for the reason
that the shifting sands would not
stand. And when adversity or trouble
comes to the man who hears only his
foundation willr.ot hold him up andhe
will be destined to a fall. While on
the other man who is also a hearer,
but is also a doer; in addition to
hearing he is a doer. He fulfills the
commandments of God as he hears
them. He then is like a man who
built his house upon the solid rock
And then the storms could blow and
the rains pour upon it but it would
not fall for it was on a solid founda
tion. What then when applied to our
lives is the rock foundation. It is no
other than Jesus Christ. When we
build upon the solid rook, Jesus, the
storms of adversity and temptations
may come but we are ur.able to over
come all them and emerge victorious
over all. Which foundation are we
building upon? Are we on the sure

the greatest learning and greatest
teachers of the day. One of the es
pecial truinii.g that he had had was
in the way of the Lord. He was also
a disciple of John the Baptist. It is
very probable that he had heard and
seen the great forerunner. Lt is an
evident fact that he knew the duties
of repentance and faith in the Mes
siah. His knowledge was not perfect
for he appears not to have known
anything of the earthly history of
Jesus nor of the appearing and work
of the Holy Spirit. It happened that
Aquilla and l’racilln heard him speak
in the Jewish synagogue and perceiv
ed what was lacking in him and took
him and told in a more uccurate way
to him the ways of God. They had
been fellow workers with Paul at
Corinth and were well acquainted
with the gospel story and they giau
ly told Apollos that the Messiuh that
he was preaching had already come
Apollos As u Teacher
He was of great knowledge of the
scripture. He was well versed in the
Old Testament and knew how to use
it. He used it not only as an argu
ment to man but us an appeal to
them as well. The Messianic message
plowed under his interpretation when
he learned that Christ had already
made his advent his faith was then
well rounded to include both forecast
and fact. During his whole life he
was right so far as he knew and
when he was acquainted with the
whole truth he preached it with a
great zeal. He was a speaking with
confidence and conviction and it "’as
widening and deepening ull the time.
Apollos As Missionary
As a disciple of John the Baptist he
came to Ephesus apparently on a
preaching tour througb Asia Minor.
When his faith and knowledge had
been expanded by Pricilla ar.d Ac-
quilla who were lately from Corinth
he desired to go over to the capital
city at Achai. His brethren heartily
agreed with him on taking this step
and wrote for him letters of recom
mendation to the church at Corinth
When he reached Corinth he began
his preaching among them, he helped
the Corinthians by co-operating with
them in their defense of the Gospel.
In doing this he was involved in a
dispute with the Jews. He showed
these Jews by the Scriptures that
Jesus was the Christ.
The Golden Text
The thought from the Golden Text
first is that we have the word of
truth recorded in the Holy book for
our own use and in the reach of all.
The Bible isthe most widely read
book of all books and is published in
more languages and dialects than
any other book. It is our edification
for individuals and for the church.

I Mrs. Roberts related this
on the shifting sands of the praise
and honor of this 1 world. Jesus makes
the way clear to us. So plain is the
road of duty no one need err there
in. If we know the Lord’s work ana
do it not we are like the man who
built on the sand but if he knows his
work and then does the work he Is on
the solid rock rock foundation.
Authority Accepted
When the sermon on the mount
was concluded the assembled multi
tude accepted his authority. They
were amazed not only at what he
taught but in the way in which he
taught. They felt in their very be
ing that what Jesus said was God’s
own truth. They readily perceived
and acknowledged that Christ far
surpassed the scribes.
Apollos
Apollos was a Jew and was proud
of his heritage as one of God’s chos
en people. He was a native of the city
of Alexandria in the northern part
of Egypt. It was at Alexandria that
the 6id Testament was translated
into Greek and be"ame the version to
be used. Apollos was a highly educat
ed man and very earnest in spirit
showing that he was a man who pei-
formed his convictions
As a Learner
As a Jew Apollos had become well
versed in the Old Testament. As an
Alexandrian he came in contact with
impres-
ive story: A young father and moth
er, each holding the hand of the two-
year-old baby, walked into an im
mense wheat field of golden grain to
enjoy its beauty together. Suddenly
it was discovered that neither held
the hand of the baby. A frantic
search began with neighbors from
everywhere joining. Seventy - four
hours had passed when one man said
lets join 1 hands and make a human
comb around this field.” Soon one ol
them stumbled on a little lifeless
form. The father cried in anguish,
“why did we not join* hands sooner?”
Joining hands, Mrs. Roberts added
has lifted the church debt, and shall
lead us into deeper spirituality for
the new year.

to a better life. The Bible is the only
book written by divine inspiration,
therefore it is our religious duty to
read it and learn of him. If we are
to witness for Christ at our best we
must have some knowledge. Trying
to witness for God without knowl
edge of him and fils will concerning
us is like having a pocket book and
nothing to put in it. The empty pock
et book will get nothing for us.
Neither will our witnessing for God
accomplish anything for our own
good unless we have some knowledge
of what we are to witness for and
then not put that knowledge to use.
Teach with Authority
And if vve are to do this we must
be in possession of authority, and the
only way to get this is through study
of God’s will concerning us through
prayer and studying of his printed
word. We are in our own weak ways
too prone to compromise with sin,
but in all the Bible we wilt not find
one line or word of compromise with
sin of any kind or description. The
Bible is from above and is the voice
of God.
Teaching
We are told that “everyone hear-
eth these sayings of mine and doeth
them ” If we aim or try to teach the
truth we must know the truth. If we
are to know the truth we must be ac
quainted with him who imparts the
truth To know God we must hear
him. God imparts his will to those
who have an attentive ears, seems
eyes, retentive minds and a faithful
heart.
Use Skill in Teaching the Scriptures
In the beginning of our teaching
we realize that Jesus was “mighty
in the scriptures.” Apollos knew the
scriptures, and knew how to use
them. He overcame opposition with
the scriptures. The Bible Will always
win its way over the hearts and lives
of men if it is given an opportunity.
Teach Industriously
“Being fervent in spirit”. Cold Im
personal instruction is the same as
r.o instruction at all The cold and
indifferent intellect can never have
the inflcer.ee that one with a warm
and suny personality can wield. One
had as well be headless as heartless.
Jesus was always sympathetic. So
must we be if we are to count most
in this world.
Teach Accurately
“He spoke and taught accurately
the things concerning Jesus.” In out
studying and teaching of the Bible
lets not try to put something in it
that is not there or take away that
which is contained therein. The word
of God has been given to us accurate
ly. Let it be perfected and taught ac
curately. Many Godly and inspired
men have spent their lives in giving
us a true version of the scriptures.
Lets not fail them in an incorrect
teaching of same.
Be Courageous
“He began to speak boldly in the
synagogue.” Sometimes the truth as
it is does not suit us, and we wish
that it was some other way. Some
hearers may rebell at it hut that is
not for us to decide. Our duty is to
proclaim the truth as it is. Let us
not be cowardly in that we will fail
to speak the truth as it is. Lets have
the courage to speak the truth at all
times
Teach Convincingly
A religious talk may or may not be
pleasing but at least it can be con
vincing. If error should slip in lets
correct it wtlh divine truth. In our

teaching experience we will find that
there is time for personal instruction
face to face. Just the teacher and the
layman face to face and there is a
time for public teaching. In which
ever place our lot may be cast, or if
it be both lets use as much fervor in
talking to one as to thousands. At
all times lets show by the scriptures
that Jesus was the Christ. That fact
alone is the great central truth of
the Bible. In both the Old and new
Testament Jesus is the central fig
ure The truth that radiates from
him is supreme for all time and Into
eternity. Why should we try to di
vert its meaning? Who would try to
reflect just one ray of light from the
divine illumination? If we are going
to teach let us teach the whole truth
and nothing but the truth as it is in
Jesus Christ. ,
