PAUL TRAINS FOR HIS
LIFE WORK.
International Sunday School Les
son for Oct. 20, 1946.
Golden Text: “Straightway in
the synagogues he proclaimed
Jesus, that he is the Son of
God.”—Acts 9:20.
Lesson Text: Acts 9:19b-22; Ga
latians 1:17-24; Acts 11:25, 26.
The vision on the road to Da
mascus had changed Saul, the
rabid Pharisee, the terrible per
secutor of the believers, into a
humble, contrite follower of Jesus
Christ. After remaining “certain
days” with the disciples at Da
mascus, Saul went into the Ara
bian desert for an indefinite pe
riod, believed to have been a year
or more. It is understandable
that this man, after such a re
markable about-face, needed the
solitude of the quiet places to
think out the meaning of his ex
perience and to fight through to
victory his inner battles.
Following his stay in the des
ert, Saul returned to Damascus,
with the foundation of his the
ology firmly thought out and be
gan preaching the gospel of Je
sus so vigorously that the Jews
there plotted to kill him. Aided
by his disciples, Saul escaped to
Jerusalem, where he attempted
to attach himself to the adher
ents of the new faith.
Naturally, knowing Saul’s rep
utation as a persecutor of believ
ers, they were suspicious, fear
ing that he was only seeking to
entrap them. Barnabas, hearing
of this, stepped forward and
vouched for his honesty of pur
pose.
Saul, who never did things in
a half-way manner, began pro
claiming his new faith in such
a vigorous fashion that the Jews
in Jerusalem, as in Damascus,
plotted to assassinate him and,
once again, he was forced to flee
for his life, this time to his na
tive city of Tarsus, where he
continued to work in behalf of
the new cause. How long Saul re
mained in Tarsus we do not know
but the next we hear of him is
10 years or more later.
In the Book of Acts, Luke, aft
er telling the story of Saul’s con
version and his experiences in
Damascus and Jerusalem, reverts
back in point of time to recount
the early spread of the Chris
tian faith.
The persecution which follow
ed Stephen’s death resulted in
adherents of the new faith “scat
tered abroad,” the disciples flee
ing to various cities, including
Antioch, where they preached the
new gospel. However, at this time,
they confined their missionary
efforts to their own race, “speak
ing the word to none save onlj
to the Jews.”
Antioch, in Assyria, had been
founded three centuries before
on the Orontes River. It was the
third city in the world, with a
population of half a million, and
the terminal of rich caravans
from Persia and India. It was
modern for its day, having a
splendid and adequate water
system, and its main street five
miles long, was wonderfully light
ed by night and travelers by day
were sheltered from the sun by
its arcades. However, morally
the city was disreputable; the
Roman Juvenal criticizing the
evil in Rome said, “the Syrian
Oronte has flowed into the Ti
ber.”
Regardless of its evil practices
and reputation. Antioch is known
as the second birthplace of
Christianity. Here it was that the
word was first intentionally
preached to # the Gentiles by Jews
having a broad cosmopolitan out
look. These were natives of Cy-

prus and Cayenne, having lived
abroad and broken somewhat
with the strict racial code of
their brothers in Palestine. In
activity these Jews “spake unto
the Greeks also.” Eventually,
News of this development came
to the Jewish Christians in Jeru
salem and caused somewhat of a
discussion there.
Up to this time the gospel had
not been directed particularly to
the Gentiles. True, it was that
Peter had previously been to Cae
sarea and received the centurion
Cornelius into the faith, which
act had been approved at Jeru
salem, but no general effort had
been made to reach others than
Jews. The Jerusalem Christians,
somewhat concerned about the
reports from Antioch, decided to
investigate and wisely selected
Barnabas for this purpose. He
was a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
and his character is amply at
tested in the commetary that
“he was a good man.”
Barnabas went to Antioch and
was so impressed with the activ
ity there that he remained and
took part in it. Remembering
Saul of Tarsus, who some seven
or eight years ago he had vouch
ed for in Jerusalem, and realiz
ing that this was the type of man
for the particular service need
ed, Barnabas set out for Tarsus
in an effort to seek Paul. Dur
ing these years Saul had been
waiting; perhaps sometimes
questioning why, but, neverthe
less, undergoing a period of pre
paration by working in Cilicia for
the wider and greater mission
which he was to undertake.
It was at Antioch that the term
“Christians” was first applied to
the followers of Jesus. This name
was not self-assuming because
they usually referred to them
selves as “saints,” “disciples,”
“believers” or “those of the way.”
The title was not given them by
the Jews, because they were ac
customed to refer to the Chris
tians as “Nazarenes” remember
ing the question whether any
good thing could come from that
city. The probability is that the
Gentiles, perhaps in decision first
began using the term “Chris
tions” for those believing in the
new faith.
