|. The Gifts of the Church at Anti
och (v. 1).
Young as Antioch, the new religious
center, was, she had prophets and
teachers. Such are essential to church
fife. Indeed, they are never absent
from the true church. In Kphesians
4:%-12 Paul says that when Christ as
cended He gave gifts unto men for the
purpose of perfecting the saints unto
the work of the ministry.
il. Barnabas and Saul Sent Forth
(vv. 2,3).
While the five ministers were pray
ing and fasting, the Spirit of God com
manded them to send forth Barnabas
and Saul. The work of evangelizing
the world was laid so heavily upon
these men that they refrained from eat
ing in order to seek the will of the
Lord in prayer. This is the kind of
fasting that meets God's approval.
¥rom the fact that they were directed
to send forth those whom the Spirit
called, we learn that the real call to
Christ’s service comes from the Spirit.
The Spirit calls and the church sec
onds the motion by sending those who
are called. They sent the very best
men from the church at Antioch.
111. Preaching the Word of God in
Cyprus (vv. 4,5).
We are not told as to why they first
went to Cyprus, but we infer that it
was because it was the home of Bar
nabas. It is most natural that those
who have heard good news shouid go
with it first to their kindred and
friends. As they went forth they
preached the Word of God; not civic
righteousness, current history, philoso
phy, ete. The great need today 1s
Spirit-called and Spirit-tilled men
preaching God’'s Word.
V. Withstood by Eilymas the - Sor
cerer (vv. 6-12).
When Barnabas and Saul by invita
tion were telling Sergius Paulus of the
Word of God, Elymas maliciously
sought to turn his mind from the faith.
This is the first obstacle they encoun
tered. ‘T'his opposer is the same one
who came to Adam in Kden and to
Jesus in the wilderness. He is the
enemy of God and man. He now seeks
to bar the gospel as it enters upon Its
career of the conversion of the hea
then. Saul denounced him in the most
scathing terms, calling him the child of
the devil, full of guile and villainy, and
pronounced him the enemy of all right
eousness, accusing him of perverting
the right ways of the Lard.
Happily, the deputy heeded Saul's
teaching and believed the gospel. It
was’ in this connection that Saul's
name was changed to Paul. :
V. In the Synagogue at Antioch in
Pisidia (vv. 15, 16).
From Paphos Paul and Barnabas
went northward to Perga. From
Perga they went into Antioch in Pi
sidia, where they entered the syna
gogue on the Sabbath day. Though
he was sent to the Gentiles he does
not depart from the order of begin
ning with the Jews. After the usual
reading of the Scriptures, upon the
invitation of the rulers, Paul deliv
ered the discourse recorded in verses
17-41. This sermon is worthy of care
ful study. It consists of four parts:
(1) Historical (vv. 17-23); apologet
ical (vv. 24-37); (3) doctrinal, (vv.
38, 39) ; (4) practical (vv. 40, 41). It
sets forth the missionary message for
all times and lands. Its essence
shouid ever be the same. In this ser
mon he presented the gloritied and
risen Christ as the Savior from sin,
basing his proot upon the testimony ot
living witnesses and the ipspired
Word.
VI. The Effect of the Sermon (vv.
42-52),
Many ef the Jews aud proselytes
requested them: te speak to them
again, Almest the whole ecity eame
fo hear the Word of Ged the next
Babbath. This geeat erowd ineited
the jealousy of the Jews. This jea-
Ousy could not long be restrained; it
broke out in open opposition. This
Übposition was in turn answered by
Paul's rejection of them and turning
to the Gentiles.
Learn the True Wisdom.
Learn, O student, the true wisdom,
See yon bush aflame with roses, like
the burning bush of Moses. Listen,
aud thou shalt hear, if thy soul be
ot deaf, how from out it, soft and
Clear, speaks to thee the Lord Ak
wighty,—Hatiz,
A Question of Right.
But Peter and. John answered and
<.l unto them. Whether it be right
in the sight of God, to hearkes unto
You more than unto God, jndge ye.
~—Actg 4:19, .
