YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Paul in a Commercial Center.
The establishment of the church at
Corinth is an example of missionary
endeavor for all ages. The method
employed, which resulted in success
then, will result in success now.
I. The True Missionary Method
(vv. 1-3).
Paul came to Corinth a stranger in
a strange city. He did not have an
advance agent to do his advertising;
neither did he have his photograph
put in the daily paper with sensa
tional announcements, upon his arrival
in Corinth. He did not have a trained
singer with him; neither did he have
his salary guaranteed. His method in
gaining a foothold in Corinth was as
follows:
1. Finding a home (v. 2). This he
found with Aquila and Priscilla, Jews
who were recently expelled from
Koine by the cruel edict of Claudius.
Being Jews, he found natural affiinity
with them.
2. He toiled for his daily bread
(v. 3). He was of the same craft
with them, being tentmakers. Every
child among the Jews was taught
some trade by means of which he
could gain a livelihood should occa
sion require. One of the rabbis said
that he who failed to teach his boy
a trade taught him to steal.
11. Preaching in the Synagogue at
Corinth (vv. 4-8).
1. Though compelled to toil for a
living while getting a foothold in
Corinth, he did not lose sight of his
main work (v. 4). He reasoned in
the synagogue every Sabbath, persuad
ing the Jews and Greeks.
2. His activity was increased when
Silas and Timothy came (v. 5). This
resulted from three causes: (1) They
brought good news from the church at
Thessalonica (I Thess. 3:6). To hear
of the steadfastness of those who had
Christ under our ministry
'®' v vl K°r into our labors. (2)
Theyqbrought pecuniary gifts from the
Macedonian churches (Philip. 4:15;
II Cor. 11:9). Being relieved from the
necessity of toil for a living, they now
could devote more time and energy
to the preaching of the gospel. (3)
■''Has and Timothy became assistants
•to Paul in the work, thereby strength
ening his hands so as to enable him
to accentuate his efforts.
3. Paul opposed (v. 6). His in
creased activity was met with in- '
creased opposition. This can always
be expected.
4. Paul announces his purpose to
turn tc. the Gentiles (v. 6). Because
of their blashphemy and opposition he
ceased to work among the Jews.
There is a time when good judgment
causes one to abandon work where
efforts have been fruitless, but it is
difficult to know just Mien to do it.
5. He did not go far away (v. 7).
He remained sufficiently near that
those whose hearts God touched could
easily find him. It is likewise true
that although Christ is obliged to de
part from the soul that refuses Him
entrance, He lingers with yearning
love around that heart.
6. His success (v. 8). Crispus, the
chief ruler of the synagogue, was con
verted. Perhaps the severity of his
action in turning away from them
moved Crispus to action.
111. Paul’s Vision (vv. 9-11).
His experiences since coming to Eu
rope were very trying. He needed en
couragement at this time. It is just
like the Lord to come at the time of
the servant’s greatest need. Note the
Lord’s words to him:
L “Be not afraid.” When one is
executing the commission of the Lord
he need not be afraid.
2. “Speak, and hold not thy peace.”
The one who lias heard the voice of
God cannot refrain from speaking—
cannot be still.
3. "I am with thee.” The Lord is
with everyone who faithfully carries
out his commission.
4. “No man shall set on thee to hurt
thee.” The one sent by the Lord to do
a work is immune from danger and
harm until his work is done.
5. “I have much people in this city.”
It is most encouraging to know that
in the great cities the Lord has His
.own people and that the one who goes
Un His name shall have fruit for his
•'■rjtee.
Bible Classes Necessary.
Bible classes are as necessary to a
healthy parochial life as are any other
religious agencies, and the priest <’ho
’"gleets them because they seem to
11 old-fashioned or connected with
the Protestant sectarian system lays
himself open to great blame. "Thy
"ord Is a lamp unto my feet and a
light unto my paths.”—Dean Larned.
The Builder of All Things.
Every house Is builded of some
ffion; but he that built all things id
God.—Hebrews 3:4.
