CREAMED COMMENTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL -LESSON, LAUNCHING OUT ON A WORLD MISSION, Acts 13:1-4,13,14; 44-49, for Sunday, January 3. Today’s lesson records the first organized missionary campaign to the Gentiles outside the Jewish community, and the transfer of the base of operations from Jerusalem to the church in Antioch. The lesson illustrates how a church under the power of the Holy Spirit made up of people of different race .background and social status. took a vigorous place of leadership in the early Christian movement. .V.l. “Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas. and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyme, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the Tetrach, and Saul.” The first century of Chris- ; tianity was unique in that it had 1 1 both apostles and prophets. Proi phets were of a secondary rank to apostles and their work was to exhort the people, speaking in the name of God. Teachers were expounders of Christian truth. Vs. 2-4. “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them... And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away... So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia: and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.” The I prophets and teachers mentioned in the first verse were so dedicated to the cause of Christ that they were sensitive to the will of God and the directions of the Holy Spirit. By the laying on of hands, Paul and Barnabas were set apart and commissioned for special missionary work. Hereafter, they are called “apostles.” The moral and spiritual security given these apostles, backed up by the prayers of the Antioch church, undoubtedly contributed in great measure to their success in the first great missionary enterprise of the church. Cyprus was the home of Barnabas. V 5.13,14. “Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they eametoPergainFam^iySa;-I and -John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. . .But- when "they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisilia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sqt down.” Saul became known as Paul while at Cyprus, doubtless because the name “Paul” is Roman and would be a better designation for this Gentile mission than his Jewish name, Saul. No reason is given for John Mark’s leaving the party, although we can assume that Paul was not pleased by his doing so, since he refused to allow him to rejoin his party later. The Pisidian Antioch was within the province of Galatia, the center of the civil and military administration of the southern part of the province. V 5.44,45. "And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God ... But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things, which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.” On the first sabbath in Antioch, Paul and Barnabas entered the i synagogue, and Paul was given an opportunity to preach the gospel, resulting in many converts being won to Christ. As a result, great crowds came the next sabbath much to the annoyance of the Jewish leaders who were jealous of the apostles’ popularity, and feared their preaching would destroy the foundations of Judaism. Consequently, they tried their best to turn the people against thse missionaries. V. 46. “Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was neces-

sary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, 10, we turn to the Gentiles.” Paul preached the gospel first to the Jews, but when they rejected Christ and his gospel, they proved themselves unworthy o God's offer of everlasting life. The gospel was. then brought to the Gentiles, who were more eager to hear it. V. 47. “For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, 1 have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.” The Jews were not chosen of God unto salvation to the exclusion of the Gentiles, but were chosen to fulfill their mission of spreading the gospel to all nations. In Isaiah 49:6 the prophet states that Christ was to be light to the Gentiles. V 5.48,40. “And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to , • eternal life believed. . . And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.” God ordains to etenal life all who will , beliece. The new converts prompt-. ly became witnesses of Christ. Americans this year are spending almots twice as much on cigarettes as they contribute to their churches, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report. A Maryland court has ruled that a declaration of a belief in God is required of anyone about to be sworn into public office in Maryland. The state’s Declaration of Rights says that “No religious test ought ever to be required as a qualification for any office of profit or trust. .. other than a declara-tion-of belief In the existence of ita ** x. • American Protestant young people, including members of the USarmed forces, have contributed more than $241,000 toward the maintenance of the International Christian University in Japan during the last 10 years. Most of the funds for the operating expenses of the graduate-level school have been provided by the mission boards of fifteen major denominations in the United States and Canada. The American and the Southern Baptist Conventions have provided funds for a Christian Student Center in the heart of the university area of Paris, France. Located in the heart of a large student housing area that will ultimately have seven fhousapd university and college youth. The Center will provide recreation facility and space for seminars, conferences, and lectures. Plans also include the eventual organization of a student church. The American National Red Cross has decided that the Biblical method of resuscitation is better than any of the complicated ways which have been attempted by modern medicine. The Red Cross, in announcing that it is abandoning motors, manual respiration, and other methods in favor of simply direct mouth-to-mouth breathing into the lungs of the unconscious drowning or shocked victim, calls attention to the method referred to in II Kings 4:34,35, where Elishe breathed into the mouth of the Shunammite woman’s child.

Don't have a grasshopper method of attack. Once you’ve started on a project for a given period of time, stick with it. Give it your full attention until it’s done. If other things come to mind and distract you, jot them down; but keep your attention on the job you’ve started. If interruptions come, they are allowed by the Lord, so take them as such. But when the interruption has ended, return to your project and prayerfully finish it. Finally, when you work at any job be sure to work. Colossians , 3:23 is a good verse to memorize on this: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, knd not unto men,” The better use we can make of our time, the more time we will have for the essential things— Bible study, prayer, purposeful witnessing.
