1. "Except ye bo circumcised after tlio manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved While Paul and Barnabas alxido ntAntioch with the disciples after their return from their first missionar tour, doubtless giving themselves continually to prayer and to the ministry uf the word (vi, -1) certain men came down from Juda-a and taught as above. The teaching of Scripture on all points that we need to know is clear and simple, but: the perversions of the devil ever sinco his ilrst work in Eden are fearful. "Paul and Barnalwis had no small dissension and disputation with them." The story of Abraham and the giving of the rift of circumcision is so plain that we wonder how any one could fail to see that A bra hum was a righteous man before he received the rite of circumcision. Compare Gen. xv, 0. anil xvii, 10, and then see how clear are Paul's words in Bom. iv, 11, concerning circumcision, "A s"al of the righteousness of the faith which he had, yet being uncireumeised." 3. Declaring he conversion of the gentiles. they caust great joy unto all tho brethren." This was as they journeyed to Jerusalem, for so did these JntUean teachers Flir the people that if.was thought best to send to the apostles and elders at Jerusalem concerning it. The enemy had not bargained for this quicken'iugof the brethren along the road as they heard of the wondre'is work of God among the gentiles. •1. "They il'-elared all things that God had done with them." This was before the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. It was certainly more important to hear first what God had done by His word anil Spirit through llis servants than to hear of'tin* disputing* of these teachers a.* Antioeh who were troubling the people about circumcision. .j. "Needful to circumcise them and to command thi-ni to keep he law of Moses." This was the tcachingof some of the Pharisees who believed. There art' many of them today who teach that something besides receiving Christ is necessary to salvation. Baptism, joining the church, taking the communion, doing good, praying, mortifying the flesh and such like are by some held to lie essential to one's salvation. Such never can tell whether they are saved or nor. fort hey cannot fell when they have done their part, as they say. 0. "And the apostles and elders came together lor to consider of this matter." Peter was th.- first, speaker (verses 7 to 11) ot any account, and they stopped disputing to listen tti his testimony. He spoke of what, they knew and of what he had actually seen of the grace of God. Then followed Barnabas and Paul with their record of tin: miracles and wonders which God had wrought by them among the
gentiles,
alter which .fames very clearly decided in favor of salvation without the necessity of circumcision.
The council then decided to send back to Ai^tioch with Paul and Barnabas two others, chief among the brethren, Judas Barsabas and Silas, who might by their testimony confirm to the brethren at Antioeh the decisions of the council, and thus tend more fully to eonil'or«'itul establish them. •-'IS. "Greeting unto the brethren which are of 1 lie gemiles.To hear .Tews
greet
ing uncireimiciscd gentiles as brethren simply because they had received Christ was a great advance in grace over chapters x, :irs xi, Even 1 have heard a minister of the gospel very decidedly object to being railed Iirot her or to speaking of other believers as brethren, although oil'1 Lord Himself said. "One is your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren" (Math, xxiii, S). hat does ail some ministers'/ .M. "(.ertain which went our from us have irouhlril you with words, subverting your souls. A11 who would put anything between the penitent sinner and the Saviour are troubles and pervcrtcrs. As helpless and hnpi-li'ss as the impotent man at Bethesda, as the palsied man let: through the roof, as the poor leper, or as Lazarus corrupting in the tomb, is'the condition of every sinner. But Christ comes to the sinner and gives Himself with all that He is. and as many as receive Him Income the children of Cod (John i, 12). -'1. "Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Some men can teach and argue and dispute, but not so many are ready fo endun hardness or lay down their lives for Christ.
rLhe
teaching of those who
suffer with Him is apt to be of more weigh! than that of mere talkers. "NVe have sent, therefore. Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth." They would therefore have the It tier from the apost les, the spoken words of Judas and Silas and the
lives
of Paul and Barnabas all lo comfort and establish them. Goii does not trouble His people, but ever seeks to comfort them. He is the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, and comforts as only a mother an II or 3 Is a xv If brings us into trial, it is that He may more fully reveal Himself to
us
as our
comforter, that we may know Him better. "It, seemed good to the llolv Ghost and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things." Tho llolv Spirit is the great t.v. -her and comforter and director of all the affairs in (he church, and it is for us to be so l'uliy under His control that all the work ami all the words shall be, "fihe Holy Ghost and us," our part being simply that of vessels or instruments in which He can accomplish that which Hi desires, for He knimeth the will of God. I am sure that it, is the greatest thing on earth to'be a person tinder the complete and constant control of the Holy .Spirit of God for the service and glory of God.
Not tine thing but the reception of Christ is essential lo salvation. It is wholly "through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ" (virse 11), apart from any works ol' ours (Hph. ii, S Horn, iv, 5 Titus iii, 5). But being saved freely by Jiis grace, it is, then, not a matter of circumcision or of uiicireumcision, but of a new creature filled with faith which worketh by love (Gal. v, vi, la), the love which constrains us to let alone whatever would grieve the Spirit or in any way hinder our fellowship with tho rather anil the Son. Being lul'ly justified by faith in Christ. Acts xiii, iiS, il!l Kom. v, J), it is no longer, nor ever again, a tpiesfion of solvation, but wholly one of fellowshipand service as saved people, an easy yoke full of coin fort if we are only willing to walk with Him. 'lhe believers at Aiuioch were comforted, Judas returned to Jerusalem, but Silas continued at Antioeh willi Paul and Barnabas, teaching anil preaching tho word of tlio Lord (verses 34, 85).
