Christ was the greatest man the
world has ever produced or ever
will produce. They regard him as
the first fruits

Lord, it claims that his signifi
cance to our spiritual life lies in
the fact that his ministry among
men represented God's presence in
the world in a form never before
experienced, and his death on the
Cross was both the culmination of
a sacrificial life, and the means
by which sinful men and the God

spiritual fellowship.
We start our study in the Chris

Jesus Christ means to us? It is fit-

phasizing what the New Testament

Christ is our personal Saviour.
God Opens a Woman's Heart
Our lesson story begins today
with the narrative of how Paul es
tablished the first Christian church
in Europe. Being disappointed that
the Holy Spirit had forbidden him
to preach in many places in need
of preaching. As he journeyed thru,
Asia Minor he arrived at the
great city of Troas, and wondered
what God's will was concerning
what he should do. At night he,
beheld a vision. In this vision a
man of Macedonia besought him
saying, “Come over into Macedonia
and help us. Immediaetly Paul and
his companion set sail from Troas
and arrived at Neapolis and from
this seaport journeyed to Philippi
the chief city of the province.
On the next Sabbath morning
Paul and his little band of compan
ions hunted for a plaec of prayer
and discovered down ■ on the river
side a small company of women
Among this company of women;
was one called Lydia, who was a:
business woman from the indus- ]
trial city of Thyatera in Asia
Minor. She was a gentle woman,
but like many who were not Jews;
had for a long time worshiped
Jehovah as the one true God,
The passage of scflpture which
we have for our study today con
stitutes an introduction to our
lesson, because we are told that
the Lord opened Lydia's heart to;
give heed unto the things, that |
Paul spoke. We do not understand
the significance of Christ as Sa-.
viour until we comprehend the ba
sic religious truth that that salva
tion is the gift of God and every
thing that leads us to accept the
gift of God comes because God's
spirit is constantly at work upon
our hearts.
Salvation is the gift of God, but
we have to do certain things be
fore God makes His gift. That even
the capacity to do these things and
the impulse to do them depends
upon the working of the Holy Spir
it on our hearts. All that we can
do to bring about salvation to our
hearts is to yield our hearts to God
and let him save us. Nothing that
we may do will save, our souls.
This does not mean that God has
any favorite. The offer of salva
tion is to all men: “He that will let
him take the water of life freely."
Let's not understand that God goes
all the way with our salvation. We
must show a willingness for salva
tion before we wnl ever be re
cipients of same. We just to that
extent are the masters of our own
salvation. We may be assured that
salvation will not be thrust upon us
if we do not want it and show
ourselves willing to cooperate with
God will not be made the possessor
of salvation. Eternal salvation is
the greatest gift to man.
After our salvation is a sure fact
we must live righteously and give
ourselves to the service of God and
cur fellowman. But this righteous
ness and service are not the cause
of salvation; they are the results;
they are not the root but the fruit.
When the reinforcement of the new
life had taken place in Lydias
heart the fruits of sin then ap
peared. She was baptized, which
means among'' other things that
she confessed her sins. She was
then instrumental in leading the
members of her family fo God, thus
making them partakers of his love.
The best thing about Lydia was
that she was not above associating
with them. She was humble and
invited them to her home if they
