But on the con- - trary, he calmly asked the eomman- ~ dant to grant him the privilege of ' speaking to the people. Doubtless he intimated that they had misunderstood '~ what be was doing, and that a few - words from him might pacify them. ' The Roman officer was astonished; | for the Apostle spoke Greek fluently. | He- had thought / : that. St. Paul was {! . . *“that Egyptian,” ‘ ‘ ' mentioned by Jo- ‘ =1 ' ~sephus, who had a. || KN&ZE A ~ short time before ’\:»},‘*V ~ gathered a large [o4|[3%\) "l ] body of discontent- _ .:J gk ed Jews, to whom "-ee‘“ he had represented [~Y| ‘ E@Lﬁ* himself as Mes- [ Chw —l siah and who, as [ \-g his followers, had = | given the Roman St Paul’'s Defense. authorities considerable trouble. St. Paul answered that he was a jew of an honorable city, and again asked the - privilege: of speaking to the people. His request was granted, 3 Then St. Paul stood on the stairg ‘and motioned silence, in order to ad‘dress the mob. Doubtless he considered his thrilling experiences well compensated for by the privilege of telling a large concourse of his countrymen about Jesus. Promptly he preached Christ—that Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah, that His sacrificial death constituted the Redemption Sacrifice for Adam’s forfeited life and, incidentally, for all of Adam'’s childréh, who died under his death sentence. Surely.also he declared that . Messiah was calling a spiritual class to be His associates in. His Millennial Kingdom, and that shortly Israel and all the nations would experience the blessings of that Kingdom. -Then he proceeded to tell about his missionary tours. He declared that many of the Gentiles were gladly receiving this * Message and giving thein hearts to the Lord in full consecration. : St. Paul’s Defense. . - But so strong was the Jewish prejudice that the mere mention of the fact that this great blessing was going upon equal terms to the Gentiles ‘rekindled the flame of hatred and violence; é‘lnd their shouts and jeers rent -the air. Perplexed at the situation, the Roman commandant concluded that where there was so much oppositlon there must be some cause for it. Thereupon he gave orders that the - Apostle be whipped urtil he confessed - what he had done to create such a tumult. ; At once the command began to be carried out by the soldiers, who proceeded to tie St. Paul to the whippingpost. But the Apostle brought the proceedings to a quick termination by inquiring of a centurion who stood by,. “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man - that is a Roman and uncondemned?’ When the centurion heard the question, he reported it to the colonel, who ‘came and questioned the Apostle. He took St. Paul’s word for it that he was a Roman citizen; for to have made an untruthful claim to citizenship would have meant death, as soon as the matter had been investigated. The Apostle was held a prisoner for trial. Lessons From Bt. Paul’s Experience. St. Paul was suffering as a Christian . —because of loyalty to the Lord and His Word. He was not suffering because of following the admonitions of: the brethren in going into the Temple; - for very evidently : -the hatred In the hearts of their ene- : m; § mies would sooner < Y or later have mani--5 y/ ) ) testea itselr, ana “\&é 7l (‘g they would have FOa A/ o sought the Apstle’s B T \‘ life, as on previous . RLE i “l‘i occasions. In this , )4‘.“ {‘ incident we see SS=S——\ merely that the atv L tempt to create a . favorable impresslon toward the Apostle Paul and his work amongst the Gentiles probably < brought the matter of his arrest; more . _quickly to the front than any other course would have done. _ The Apostle was not ashamed of his sufferings; for he realized that they were endured for Christ’s sake. One should feel deeply pained at a public arrest and imprisonment as a violator . of the law. But when these things are experienced because of faithfulness to the Lord, following in His footsteps, such may well rejoice in the ignominy, rejoice in -what otherwise would be shameful and detestable. Let them glorify God on this behalf, rejoicing that they are accounted worthy to suffer for the name of Christ, and remembering that thus also was it with our Lord Jesus Himself. He was placed under arrest; He was bound; He was scourged; He was publicly insulted; - He was even crucified as a blasphemer against God. Let every instance of religious bigotry and fanatical violence " speak to our hearts a lesson in the op- - posite direction, e :

GREATER SUFFERINGS, ' 8 Corinthians }:l6-18.—Rept. 2} : Faint Not In Tribulation—The Natural Man Perishes, the New Creature Grows—What Are Light Affligtions? What Is Their Duration?—What Is Their Object?—How Shall We Attain This Object? : “The things which are not seen are eternal.”— Verse 18. Ui HAT great Christian courage w St. Paul’s words and deeds manifest! He who endured . 80 many hardships, a very thrashing-machine experience, nevertheless writes: “We faint not; for though our outward man perish, - yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” Ah, that was the secret of the matter—the renewing of the inward man, the New Creature! The tribulations of the outward man would have been terrible indeed had there been no inward man to take a different view of matters and-to learn valuablé lessons and- experiences from the outward man’s tribulations. The inward man had God’s assurance that if God were. for him, the opposition of all others would be as nothing; for God would overrule all his experiences for his highest welfare.. He had the Lord’s assurance also that the glories of the future would be proportionate to the trials of the present time faithfully endured. o - Here we have the secret of the Apostle’s great zeal for God, for the Church, for the Truth! He endured as ‘seeing ‘ Him who is invis- ﬁj ible to naturaleyes., {f__J. [:[m] (Hebrews 11:27) o I He lived a double. || || ¥ life, in the sense 'L' that to man he was [& &S Saul of Tarsus, but ‘.\\w In reality he was ,g%'@ ‘Paul, the servant R of God, the New :-{-';s%‘so"‘ Creature in Christ (0% 3 Jesus. The world .. ' knew him not; but 1 o o bhe knew himself, knew his God; and he was energized by the Power Di vine and by the Message of God’s Word, which spoke to him peace and relationship to God through Christ, and Informed him of the glory, honor and immortality awaiting all the loyal and faithful ones at the end of the way. Fellowship In Christ’s Sufferings. This secret of the Apostle’s experience is an open one to all of God’s spirit-begotten children who faithfully continue to walk in Jesus’ footsteps and to be taught of Him through the Word. We do not have so large a manifestation of Divine favor as hdd Jesus, the Head of the Church, and the Apostles, the foremost members of the Church. But still we have in a general way the same favors of God, the same promises of God, the same inspiring hopes which they had. Let _ us not forget the Apostle’s. endurance - when we read his words: “Our light affliction, which is but for a mgnent, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” The Apostle’s argument was that if the sufferings of Christ, in the Divine arrangement, are to measure the coming glories of Christ, then he desired to be a participator with the Lord in the present sufferings, that he might also be a participator with Him.in the coming glories. Instead, therefore, of saying to himself or to others, “I am doing more than my share of the Gospel work; and some of you should help me, and give me a rest,” Bt. Paul took the other view. He declared himself willing and anxious to fill up as much as possible that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ. He counted it all Joy to have tribulation, knowing that’ tribulation would work out the fruits of the Holy Spirit in his character, and thus prepare him for the Kingdom.—Colossians 1:24; Romans 5:83-5; 2 Timothy 2:11, 12. : Many find it easy to start in the Christian way when everything is fa- . : vorable, Some run P s briskly for a while, y ; and then grow e weary in well-do-g/’: j??"”"';' ing.

He was A Victor’s < Reward. ready to preach the Gospel anywhere, everywhere, to all who had the hearing ear. The secret of his perseverance is given us in Verse 18: “We look not at the things which ‘are seen, but at the things which are not seen.” These words mean that St. Paul had spiritual eyesight. He indeed saw earthly attractions, but they lost their drawing power upon him because of his perception of the things unseen. With the eye of faith he saw the Heavenly Father, the glorified Lord Jesus, the Heavenly hosts, the coming Kingdom of glory, honor and immortality. o = i By faith he saw the great Millennial Kingdom spreading out before him, and heard the Divine invitation te become an heir in that Kingdom, joined in heirship with the Master and - Redeemer. He had accepted this invitation,. He had enlisted under the banner of the Master; and he realized that everything else in the world was of practically no value in comparison with these eternal things which God had promised. His confidence was:'ln» the Word of God. S 1
