I Creamed «I " F On S.B.* .gyri i,_ Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, The Christian’s Prayer Life, I Timothy 2:1-8; Romans 8:26-28, for Sunday, August 23. - . Paul emphasizes the importance of prayer and indicates the different levels of prayer. Profound prayers become* an experience with God. \ | V.l. “1 exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplication, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men.” Paul confirms Christ’s teachings regarding the importance of prayer; he uses four accumulative terms, and covers the needs of all men. This makes a World wide prayer program. V. 2. “For kings and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” Only in good government do citizens live quiet and peaceable lives. We need to pray for those in authority even if<hey are not good men. Os course good rulers will need prayers for their wisdom and guidance. V. 3. “For this is good and acceptable in. the*|sight of God.” Since order is one of God’s Laws, society needs to have ordert, which calls for a government Which is the will of GOd. JI, “Who will have all men to be saved,_ and to come to the knowledge of truth.” The great Work of God as committed to Christ Is the salvation of all men. To this work every one is called.It- is sp great ; that it calls for earnest prayers. V. 5. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man .Christ Jesus.” A mediator is one who interposes between parties at variance in order to reconcile them. Christ interposes between sinful man and the holy God. V. 6. “Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” Here is tne doctrine of the atonement in a nutshell. After the atonement wag made and its provisions were understood by the apostles, they preached it. with power. ’ Ji Remembrance That Counts The average man will not be ; long > remembered after death though much may be done to memorialize himself. He may make donations in memorial gifts;, he may have fine portraits painted; he may have an elaborate monument placed in the cemetery, but in one generation all these attempts to memorialize himself will have failed. The thief on the cross placed reme-tnbranee at the proper place when he said. “Lord, remember me today in paradise.” It matters little what men say of us or hovi poorly we may be remembered, if only the character, the conduct and the life is acceptable to God in the final day of judgment. Lesson Prayer: Ix»sson prayer; We know not how to pray as we ought anti therefore we implore the intercession of. the Spirit. Grant us such absolute humility of mind, sur-

V.7. “Wherefore I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ and lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.” Since some questioned Paul’s apostleship, he sees fit to make clear his position. In winning others to Christ there must be confidence in the preacher or teacher. Paul’s rank as an apostle came frohi God. See I Cor. 1:1. The Antioch church ordained , him; his work as a preacher* furnished evidence V.B. “I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” Here Paul speaks with apostolic authority concerning public prayer. We should lift our prayers to God with holy hands, made so by clean and holy living; good character and conduct are necessary for the prayer life. 11l will and unfriendly disposition toward others will defeat any verbal prayer in their behalf. V. 26. “Likewise the Spirit helpeth our infirmities; for we know nqt what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself pyaketh intercession for us with groanings which can not be uttered.” Here is the highest level of prayer; the one praying is dominated by the Spirit; it is then that holy urges are wrought within and that divine impressions are made that long to be expressed. V. 27. “And he that searcheth the hearts knoiveth what is the! mind of the Spirit. liecaustj he maketir intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” God the Father is meant; he seek helow the surface and the groanings, and understands the longings of the heart because the Spirit intercedes. | V. 28. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to the j pose of God.” Here* is stated the result of an effective prayer life. This does not say that every thing that happens to us is good but that God can take any thing that happens to you and bring a bless' ing out of it. The may not be seen immediately, but in due time it will be in evidence. —Baspd on copyrighted outlines j produced by the division bf Chris- j tian education, national council of the Churches of Christ ! in the U.
