PAt'L MINUTEBS TO THF THESSALONIANS fJEMON TEXT—Acta 17:1-7; I The. •aloniant 1.241 MEMORY SELXCTION—Ba not weary In wandoinf -II Thciaalonlau 3:13A great city, commercially active, religious to a high degree, a military center and a harbor so fine that it is important to this day —such was the city of Thessalonica. It presented a challenge to the preachers of the gospel and, In the name of Christ Paul accepted and won a great victory. In the face of persecution, bitter and persistent, the believers in this city remained faithful. The reason for that appears in our lesson. Rooted and grounded in Christ, they had brought forth the fruit of real Christian living under circumstances which were difficult and trying. Our lesson tells of both the preaching of the gospel by Paul and the living of the gospel by the Thessalonians. I. The Go»pel Preached—Accepted and Rejected ‘Acts 17:1-7). Paul began his long and successful ministry in Thessalonica in the synagogue. It was to the Jews who worshiped the one true God that he came with his message about their expected Messiah — Christ the Lord Here he established a strong church. What was the message which so signally succeeded in this great strategic center? Well. It was not (as some modem preachers in large cities seem to think necessary) a scries of social, political. or literary discourses. Paul preached Christ. He reasoned with them and presented the Saviour (v. 3) as One who was 1. Dead for our sin These people were like us in that they needed a solution for their sin problem. Without the death of Christ there is no salvation for any man. Only through the shedding of blood can there be remission of sin (Heb. 9:22). Paul bad no part in the folly of a ‘ bloodless gospel" — as though there were any such gospel. 2 Raised for our justification. It was not enough that Jesus died, marvelous as that is in our sight For many a man has died for his convictions, but none has risen from the dead. Christ could not be hoklen of the grave. He arose the victorious Redeemer. 3. Declared to be the Christ He is more than a man, more than ■ great leader and an earnest teacher. He is God’s anointed One, himself divine—and our Lord. Some believed (v. 4), including many devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women. The gospel does have life-giving power as the Holy Spirit applies it to the hearts of willing men and women. Others opposed (vv. 5,6). Note that they were "of the baser sort." They always are, even when they appear to be cultivated and educated, for there is something fundamentally wrong in a life which rejects Christ. It was a serious charge they made against the Christians (v. 7), for It was treason punishable by death to have any other king but Caesar if one lived in a Roman colony. But the thing which they hated worst in these Christians was the fact that their topsy-turvy world was in danger of being set right (they put it the opposite way, v. 6), and they did not want to be made fight It Is interesting to note that these early preachers had divine power to turn over the social order. ■Would that we showed more of that p>wer in the church today! Accepting the truth is good, but it must go on in daily living. The Thessalonians knew that and they art models of IL The Gospel Lived - Follower, and Examples (I These. 1:2-3). Paul the missionary, was a courteous preacher. Ht recognized the faithfulness of Christian brethren and did not hesitate to commend .them. We could do more of that when we meet true and faithful believers. They were followers of Paul, but only because he followed Christ (v. 8). His power was from above (v. 5), even as they also were chosen from above (v. 4). Following Christ meant affliction ito them (v. 8). but it also meant the joy of the Holy Spirit, which to entirely independent of the eircumistancea of life—and above them. ; These Thessalonian believers were examples of what it meant ,to be Christians. Wherever Paul went their faith toward God was recognised and he did not need to explain or argue for his gospel Peoipie knew the Thessalonian Christiana, and thus they knew real fChristtedty. I There could be no finer witness (to the faith of anyone than to be pbte to beer testimony thst it is an example—a model—to which others may look and not go astray. £o we dare to measure our Caristian lives by such a standard?
