Were not Christians to worship on the FIRST day of the week? The chief purpose in life for Paul and all the other disciples was to preach Christ and Him crucified to everyone who would listen. So they went where they would find the people. Paul was particularly concerned for his brethren, the Jews, for he said, “My heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.” Romans 10:1. Since it was customary for them to meet in their synagogue on the Sabbath day, Paul took full advantage of the opportunity. He was well known among the Jews and respected as a man who had sat at the feet of the great teach er, Gamaliel. Because he was so well versed in the Scriptures, he was often asked to speak and in terpret them to those assembled. Paul wasted no time in proclaim ing the good news of the Gospel. Therefore his attendance in the synagogue was not so much for the purpose of worship as it was to preach and teach the Word of God. . This can be done on any day of the week — in any place^ Paul also reached many Gen tiles by going to the synagogue for many of them had become be lievers in the God of the Jews BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.

Paul was following the example set by Christ while He was here upon earth. He sought out those who were unsaved. Christ mingled with sinners and publicans — ate with them and went to the places where He was sure He would find them. Too many of us, as Christians, sit smugly in our church pew waiting for the sinner to come to the church. The church is there — he knows it is — so why should we concern ourselves? If we accept Christ’s invitation to “Come” than we need to obey His command to “Go” — into the highways and byways and compel them to come in. Yes, as Christians we worship on the first day of the week be cause we commemorate the resur rection of our Lord on that day. Paul’s purpose was not to wor ship with the Jews but to witness. We are assured by Acts 20:7 that Paul followed the custom of the early church of meeting upon the first day of the week — our Sun day —for we read, “And upon the first day of the week when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them ...” Morgan-Manning Miss Marian Morgan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
