Rreame2m»l fl Comments I Oa Creamed cmomenti on the Sunday school lesson, The Fellowship of Christian Love. Acts 2:42-47; Colossians 3:12-16; I John 1:7, 8, for Sunday, March ft. God is tore hut tM Channels of that love is controlled by man. This control is found In the Chris- , tian fellowship in -which exists common interests, a willingness to share, caring for the needs of others, united prayer and communion with God. V. 42. “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and in fellowship and ih the breaking of bread, and in prayer.’’ There were no printed Bibles, hence an Instruction in what the disciples believed. “Blest be the tie that bihds“ explains Christian fellowship. The sacrament of holy communion as instituted by the Lord's supper was observed and all these things ware maintained by prayer. Prayer is the one thing that Jesus taught his disciples. V. 43. “And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles " There was a reverent awe in these meetings; theif faith was confirmed by the exercise of wonders and signs which were evidently the apostles* credentials. V. 44. “And all that believed were together, and had all things common.” Being together Was a Result of close fellowship and being as one family; necessities, were shared with each other. - - V. 45. “And sold their possessions. and goods, add parted them , to all men, as every man had need." fevidehtiy they sold their Superfluous things since they tnet in homes of individuals. The principle of human need was followed. They tarried out a program of Christian stewardship. V. 46. “And they continued daily with oae accord tn the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat With gladness and singleness of heart." Regardless as persecution, the fblloWer ventured to worship UtoflaAt tetpplp. but they, gplarged the temple fellowship hy family gatherings of sincere wdM ship.

sidered sacred institutions. V.4T. “Framing God, and having favour With an people. Abd the Lord added daily to the church such as should be saved." Praise belongs in a program of Christian fellowship. With such a program as indicated above, spiritual results Will follow in the conversion of the unsaved. Note that first is salvation and then uniting with the church. V. 12. "Pat on therefore, as the elect of God. and beloved, bowls of mercy, kindness, humbleness Os mind, meknea, iongsuffering.'* la the preceding versa, Paul admonishes the putting off of the old man characterised by anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication and lyittg. 18 this verse, Paul exhorts putting an the new man as expressed in matey, kindnefts, etc. These are natural expressions of a new creature in Christ V. 13. ‘‘Forbearing ono another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a qdarrel agatast any; even as Christ forgave yot, so also do ye." About the hardest test of a Christian is that of asking forgiveness and to bear all things no matter how innocent Christ is our example and to follow him we must be like him. V.J4. "And above ail these things, put on charity; which is the bond of perfectness.'' The source of all Christian virtues is love. God is love. God os loved the world as to give his Son. The 13th chapter of I Corinthians describes love. It is not only a question of how much or how well one has lived, but how much one has loved. ¥ls. “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are also called in one body; and be ye thankful.” Bines Christ is the Prince of peace, when he rales entirely, peace will follow. One way of maintaining peace is to live a life of gratitude. V.IS. “Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom . . Dwelling on the word of God paves the way for the indwelling Christ Who rrtast be expressed if he is to remain within. Ve. 7,8. "Beloved, let us love one another; for loVe taos God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not. is net of God; for God is love," Here is the key to true Christie nfeliowship. -—Based on copyrighted outlines produces by the division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the [U.

Bible School WEDNESDAY LENT SERVICES 7:00 and 8:16 P. M. We are told that when Christ was being dragged through the ■streets of Jerusalem the night before His crucifixion, Peter followed Him afar off. Every community has its share of people who follow Christ "afar off.” The approve the Church’s program, they Wish the members well, they “wouldn't think of living in a town without a church,” and yet they themselves ■•keep a convenient distance between themselves and the churchfte of their neighborhood. Christ minced no words When He spoke to the irreligious of His day “He that is Os God hetreth God’s words; ye therefore hear them not because ve are not of God." To follow Christ “afar off” may be as fatal as going in the opposite direction.' Your eternal destiny de pends upon a fellowship with Him, most intimate, most close, and most enduring.
