I Creamed i Comments on ss.C«EeI i LessonAsSfl Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. Spread of the Good News. Luke 8:1-9; 9:1-6, for Sunday. November 27. After Jesus had addressed the multitude from a boat near the shore of Galilee, he turned to his disciples to give them special training in presenting the gospel. He used a,parable in this teaching: parables were in general use and they provide a good basis of training for today. The gospel means good news. and. as it is the l>est news the world ever received, it needs to he told all around the world: hence, he gave his great coinilfission. “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel.” V.l. "And it came to pass afterward. that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showiris: the glad tidings of the kingdom of God and the twelve were with him.” The best training is by example and so Jesus took the twelve with him as he preached. So great is the importance of preaching the gospel that, in so doing. Jesus promised to be with us. V. 4. "And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable.” The story method of teaching is most impressive. ‘ • ——— ‘ V. 5. "And a sower went forth to sow the seed; and as he sowed some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down and the fowls of the air devoured it." The sowar represents Christ or any Bible teacher. There were beaten down paths-through the field and naturally some seed fell on these paths. The seed is the word of God. This verse is explained in verse twelve; thesF are the surface hearers; the seed is plckd up by the evil one. —V.6. “And some fell upon a rock, I and. as soon as it was sprung up. ; it withered away because it lacked moisture." There was a little soil <m the rock but the roots could nor go dgep enough. Such professing Christians lack depth of thought, of conviction, and weakness of will, and so are easily tempted and drawn away from God? V.7. "And some fell among thorns and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it." The thorn seeds were in the soil when the good seed was sown, hut this seed soon, grew up into strong weeds, choking out the plants of the good seed. Uncleansed human riature has lurking in it evil ' thoughts, desires and motives. V.B. “And some fell on good ground and sprang up and bare fruit, an hundred fold: and when he had said these things, he cried.. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” The good soil is devoid of all the obstructions as stated in preceding verses. Whether the gospel takes, depends upon honest, sincere thinking, with surrendered wills, making the hearer receptive and expressive of the gospel. V.l.’“Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils. and to cure diseases." The power of the gospel is greater than the power of the supreme evil and the disciples were to demonstrate this fact. Gospel is seen in Christ’s healing ministry, such as tiiav he seen in Christian hospitals, which the church upports. Chris“hin missions consist of preaching, teaching and healing'See the next verse. V. 3, "And he said unto them, fake nothing for your journey, neither staves nor scrip, neither

bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.” The disciples were worthy of being supported while they gave all their lives in carrying out the gospel. V. 4, "And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart." They were not to loae time in changing their places of entertainment. To entertain them should be considered a privilege. V. 5. “And whosoever will not receive you. when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet' as a testimony against them." Here is suggested the judgment of God on those who will not , hear the gospel. V. 6. "And they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere." The power and the authority conferred on the disciples proved to be true —another evidence that God who granted it has all power.—The Rev. D. Carl Yoder. —Based on copyrighted outlined produced by the Division of Christian Education. National Council of trie Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., aud used by permission.
