Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

(’reamed Comment* on the Sunday School lesson, Paul Founds the Church at Philippi, Acta 16:1115; Philippinas 2:5-12 for Sunday November 10. Paul's plans to spend his time in visiting the churches which he had founded was divinely thwared; he was destined to continue as missionary and atart Christianity In Europe also. V. 11. ‘Therefore Paul to>s!ng from Troae, we came with a atralght course to Samaibrocia. and the next day to Neapolis." At the time being. Paul conld not understand Goda dealing with him nor bin will for him; but he did not complain nor give up. V 12. "And from thence to Philippi. which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia and a colony; and we were In that city abiding I certain days.” While in a state of indecision, a voice was heard "Come over into Macedonia and help us" Paul obeyed that voice and stayed some time in the Important city of Philippi. To be God •lead is of the greatest importance V. 13. "And on the sabbath we went out of the city by the river side, where prayer was to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which reeorted thither." Paul would conduct open air meetings for worship if by that means he could preach the gospel. The congretvtton of a few was a great gospel opportunity. V. 14 "And a certain woman name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the iity of Thyatiia. which worshipped God. beard us. whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken by Paul Here was a business woman who took time to worship God even when it was not popular to do so. in her sincerity to worship God divine help waa given her to press on in her further search for the truth. It is written "He that doetii' Ihe will of God shall know the doctrine." '' V IS. "And when she was baptised. and her household, she beeoiight us saying, if ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into rny house and abide there. And she constrained ue." Here is a typical conversion midway between child conversion and such as Paul had. Lydia would make a public confession of Christ and so was baptized. She was so influential Discussion Questions Sunday School Lesson Discussion Questions on the Sunday Sch- ol lesson, Paul Founds the Church at Philippi, for Sunday. November 10. 1. Wfyen not real sure of the will of God, what should one do? 2 What are some of the Mace donia voices. "Come over and help us” today? 3. Os what value are air gospel meetings? 4. In what respects >s the conversion ot Lydia typical ♦ 5. What is It to have the mind of Christ? Clericus says. "No one can tell what Jesus would do in detail in a world now so unblievable different from his world. But his attitude would be unchanged. He would be boundlews tn good will and unfailing in patience. He would lie true to love's way at any coot.

'' that her household was also con--1 verted. One good test of being truly converted Is seen in the Influr ence exerted In the home life. Her generosity and hospitality were f further evidence of her sincerity. ’ V. 5. "Let thio mind be In you ' which was also in Const Jesus." 1 After ten years. Paul wrote a let--1 ter to the church at Philippi In which be put in Obe statement tbe 1 essence of Christianity. The Inner life was to nossess the mind of Jesus, producing a disposition ' that makes one humble, patient | and loving This was a work ot J God as stated In the teaching, J "He that worketh in you to do and , to will his good pleasure." V* 6.7. "Who. being In the form of God, thaught It not robbery ' to be equal with God; but made 1 himself of no reputation, and took ‘ upon him the form of servant and wa> made in the likeness ot men." Jesus did not hold fast to his glorious manner of life with tbe Father, , when the tall came to redeem mankind. No great self-denial was ever made: all selfishness In Christ was * foreign to his life. Hy this process of emptying himself, Christ could * become a man among men giving 1 us an example of how we should live, as well ss .o entering Into the history of man in such away as to redeem the world ss fsst as faith In him is exercised. V R.' And being found as a man. he humbled himself, and became * obedient unto death, even the ' death of the cross. "Redemption * of mankind Is by the way of the r cross where cancellation of man's “ sins Is possible. No humility could be so great as that of Christ, the ® Innocent, the very Son of Ood taking the place of sinners on whom ‘ God pronounced judgement. He 1 that smneth shall surely die; the a wages of sin is death. ' Vs. 9,10,11. "Wherefore Ood hath highly exalted him, and given 1 him a name above every name; that at the name of Jesus every 1 knee should bow. of things in bear- 1 en. and things on earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess thatJesut Christ is Lord, to the klory of Ood 1 tbe Father." Christ's salvation must not be treated lightly, to the final judgment the question to be * answered will be, What have you 1 done with Christ?
