| Comments F ' On S.S.- ,«rei L- LgßßOnj|fflS| Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. Building the Church at Ephesus, Acts 19:8-10; 20:17-27, for Sunday;'May 3. As Corinth was) the base for Paul’s second missionary journey, so Ephesus was the base for his third missionary ! journey. Paul had stopped at Ephesus on his second return trip to Jerusalem and was so royally) welcomed that he promised to return and then stayed a long time, building a strops church there. V.B. “And he wept into the synagogue and spake boldly for a space of three nidnths, disputing and persuading things concerning the kingdom \of God.” Pdpl always made firsjt things firdt. Like Jetfus in attending faithfully the synagogue services, he passionately reasoned concerning the kingdom of God. C. 9. ‘“‘And wher divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of the way before the multitude, he. departed from them, and separated the disciples,. disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus,” WhSn hearing the godpel, onejeither becomes obedient or ‘hardened. This situation did not divert Paul; he simply carried on his -program elsewhere. V.lO. ‘*knd this ccintihued\ by the space of two years; so that all they that diwelt in heard the word-Of the Lortj Jeisus, both Jews and Greeks.” Paul did his work thoroughly, so tbjat all, not only in (Ephesus heard the gospel, but many cities in surrounding 'territory also heard it. V5.17,1 ( 8. “And from Miletus he went to Ephesus, l and called the elders ‘of the ‘church.; And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know from the first day that 1 came to Asia, after what ’mannerl have) been with you at all seasons.” The church at Ephesus ‘had been-organized, having elders, through whom Paul ennld work The organization of the. church is essential for the kingdom Service. For the moment, i

One of the great need# today is t*o be honest with the truth. Men may call it clever and good business t\o tell only part of the, truths .f will seem to be the way to get ahead. The sin of thus dealing with truth, is seen in the death of inaniyi and Sapph|ra who acted is if they were expressing the vhole truth, when they appeared ike the others in giving their all -r supplying human need* while t the same time secretly witholding a part of their professed offering. In their \ death ;is prOlaimed God’s judgment on those yho will' not honor the truth. You Know a 1. How- old was Isaac when acob left; home for Haran? 2. How long did Isaac live after hat? ' 3. Who made the Suggestion hat Jacob go to Haran? 4. Why was this Suggestion v nade? \5. Which of the sons\ always reived the family birthright? One more good man on earth is etter than an extra angel in eaven.

Paul gives his experience, stressing his faithfulness in persecution. One who has been proven true can speak with authority. V. 19., “Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears , qnd temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews.” Paul renounced the excellency of huihan wisdom, ‘-so that the faith of his might not rest on him but that! in Jjis weakness he might the better produce faith in Christ. As to Paul’s “tfears and temptations” i see I Corinthians 1 and 2. pi V.20.\ “And how I kest back nothing that was profitable) to you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house.” Paul preached the whple gospel of Christ. Paul here tahght mass evangelism and also personal work; this plan works today. \ '! Vt2l. “'testify both to the Jews and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christy Over and over in the New Testament are emphasized the two requisites to become a Christian, namely, repeiitance and faith. To bypass them is to be ou\tside the kingdom of God!

V. 22. “And now behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem not knowing the things ihkt shall befall me there.” Paul felt the need of keeping in touch with the Jerusalem church, the center of action, and he ,would be faithful to duty regardless of the severest persecution. \ V. 23. “Save that the Holy Ghost) witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide mp.” Thhre is a reasonable premonition in the leadership of the Hqly Spirit . Paul trusted God fully land here was his security. y V-24. “Aiid none of these things mojve me. neither count I my lite dear uirto myself, so that I blight finish ray course with joy and (he ministry which I have receded of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel jof the grace of God.” This verse with the two following ones are a declaration of 'his faithfulness in witnessing for Christ and in preaching his gospel.\ I) J —Based on copyrighted outlines produced\by the division of Christian education, national counu.il df tire* - Churches" of CTTrist in the pU.
