An Ambassador in Chains

Devotional Reading: Isaiah 2: 24

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.

International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 22. : AUL’S pride in being a freeborn Roman citizen was shaken considerably yhen he found that the justice he had assumed he could obtain by appealing unto Caesar was not forthcoming, or was at, least long delayed. : The intrigues’ against him in Palestine, he realized, might | bias the mind of a Roman governor

anxious to conciliate the people, so’

Paul’ stood upon his rights as a citizen and appealed to Rome. The trip there was sufficiently exciting, for it was characterized by the shipwreck of which we have such a thrilling - story. But Paul, eventually safe in Rome, was ppointed that his case. aid not come up quickly for trial. : The strange contrasts that play in Roman life and Distory are emphasized in this story ,of Paul's imprisonment there. It ya remarkable that the iron hand of Rome, characterized ofien by so much violence, should, nevertheless, rest easily enough on Paul, to allow

1 him even more liberty than is al. © {man citizenship was caught up in

lowed most prisoners today. Paul’s. failure to get Justice was traceable to conditions similar those which fetter justice ” There were hidden and: intense influences at work, and these influences, so. strong in ‘Palestine, might easily have followed him to Rome. s » 8 | OR two years, however, Paul . lived in his own house, receiving all who came to see him. The man who had traveled near and far preaching the Gospel, now turned this different: opportunity to new account, preaching as others came to him. There is a tradition that there was - a body of Roman soldiers known at the Thundering Legion, members of which had come hn con-

(a preacher and

tact with Paul while they had been chained to him to guard him, and

had, under such influence, developed a high strain ‘of seriousness and courage. Most of Paul's Epistles were writ-

‘ten to Christians in various cities

that he had visited during his missionary journeys and in the churches that he had ed. The Epistle to the Romans, jn contrast, was writien relatively early in his ministry, and he had spoken with great urgency of his desire to

visit the capital city of the’ empire.

8 8 »

N a famous passage he declared that he was not ashamed to preach the Gespel in Rome, strong in the assurance that it was the power of God unto salvation: In a sense, Paul was ‘measuring his strength of the Gospel against the | strength of Rome, and the imperial-

ism of Christ Jesus against the im-

perialism of a city that had -conquered and controlled the world.

One can not get the full sweep

of Paul's faith, courage, and out-

look, without sensing this magnificence of his world vision, and the fact that the greatness of his Roe

‘the larger glory of being a citizen of the household of faith and of the kingdom of God.

How different was Paul's actual

coming to Rome! Not the free entry of an earnest missionary, but the coming of a citizen in chains. Yet Paul was undaunted. He was or of Christ, and, as we have suggested in

comment on an earlier lesson, the|

Sense of his dependence upon God's power and his appreciation of

spiritual values increased as he

sensed the weakness, the futility, and the wickedness that often prevail in high places of government. Paul's disappointment in the Ro-

‘man world threw. him back, with a

large measure of faith, on a world of spiritual realities.
