Sunday School Lesson SOW MISSIONARY EXPERIENCES Sunday, Sept. 18.-—Acts 14;. Ephe­ sians. 6:10-20 Golden Text Blessed are they which are per­ secuted for righteousness’ sake; for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven- Matt, 5:10, It is a strange fact, but an unde­ niable one, that those who have been most favored and privileged of God often seem the readiest to re­ ject the blessings and the privileges given to them. Israel, for example, is the most favored of all pations of the earth; and Israel has sinned above all other nations. The -Son of God came first of all to Israel, as her promised Messiah; and Israel rejected and crucified him," He came unto His own, and His own received him not.” (John 1:11), And even after the unspeak­ able sin and tragedy of the cruci- fxion, God offered the Gospel of sal­ vation, through this very death of the rejected Messiah, to the Jews first; and again Israel rejected life and chose death. As we have seen in these lessons, Paul and Barnabas in their first missionary journey went at each stopping place to' the local synagogue of the Jews and there told the Jews the good news of salvation by faith in the One whom they had crucified. When the Jews rejected this offer, the missionaries turned* to the Gen­ tiles, many of whom gladly believed and were saved. Driven out of An­ tioch of Pisidia by this. Jewish per­ secution, Paul and Barnabas moved on east and south of Iconium, in L/ciaonia. Here they followed' their usual custom of going directly to the synagogue and they preached Christ with such power that "a great mul­ titude, both of they Jews and also of the Greeks, believed.” But the body of the Jews ran true to‘ form: "The unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and/ made their minds evil affected against the brethren.” In spite of this the disciples con­ ducted a bold campaign o'f evangel­ ism in the midst of opposition and God worked miracously, vouching for them as it were, for he read that "He gave testimony unto the wordj of His grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.’ Yet the opposition did not stop. The city was divided, "and (part held with the Jews and part with the apostles.’ Finally the persecution became open and murdrous, and an assault was made with moib violence in which both Gentiles and Jews joined, incited and led on by the Jewish religious leaders. . They at­ tempted to stone the missionaries to death, but they were forewarned! and made then’ escape to the neighbor­ ing cities of Lystra and Derfoe. Were these men right in fleeing* or should they have stood their ground and perhaps lost their lives then and there? The Lord' /Jesus Himself answers this question in the "marching orders.”] He gave to His disciples, as He told them that when they bore true testimony to Him they would be hated and per­ secuted, and. then He said: "But when they persecute you in this city flee ye into another” (Matt. 10:23). In Lystra a notable miracle was wrought. A man was sitting in an audience listening to yaul’s preach­ ing. He had been a cripple from birth, never having walked. He was listening to the message with his whole heart and soul, and Paul saw "that he had faith to' be healed.” With a loud, voice Paul commanded “Stand upright on they feet.” Did the mab, obey? Yes, and "much more,” for "he leaped and walked.” We can imagine the excitement, the affect of these credentials to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But the pagan people of Lystra drew a wrong meaning. When they saw What Paul had done they cried out: The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.” Promptly they said that Barnabas was Jupiter and Paul was Mercury, because, "he was the chief speaker.” The priest of Jupiter "brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.” Paul and Barnabas were astounded ahd heart­ broken. They faced the crowd, and made this plea: "Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from, these vanities unto the living God.” It is an interesting fact that archae­ ology has discovered, in the valley of Lystra, an altar to Jupiter and Mercury, together with evidence that this plane was the centre of the worship of these two gods. Archae­ ology again corroborates the Bible; it has never contradicted it. It is to be noted that the mission­ aries did: not commend the heathen worshippers for being "sin'cerC,” or for "living up to their light,” nor did they offer to share with them whatever good might be in Chris­ tianity and receive from them the "good” in the worship of Jupiter and Mercury. This is the apostate attitude taken by some missionaries tofluy toward the false and deadly religions of the heathen to whom they go, but it has ho precedent or Exeter ©tmeB-AftWrtrtt JCatabllahad 1873 and Illi authortiy in the New 'Testament. Paul spoke the truth about heathen religions and pleaded with his hear­ ers to turn from them. Would that all Christian missionaries would fol­ low the faithful example of the greatest Christian missionary that Ims ever lived, Even so, Paul and Barnabas had difficulty in restraining the people from sacrificing unto them. And, then came Jews from Antioch and Iconium* who led,the people of Ly­ stra in a fresh persecution of these two courageous men- This time the enemies of the truth suc'ceeded in stoning Paul, and they dragged him out ot the city, "supposing he had beep dead..” But God was not yet through with Paul’s earthly min­ istry, and the little missionary, small of stature but great of spirit, "rose up and came into the city,” and the next d'ay he and Barnabas moved on to Derbe. The Gospel was preached, again, and then the missionaries retraced their steps, travelling through Ly­ stra, Iconium and Antioch, and strengthened the Christian converts by further teaching, "and ex­ horting them to continue in the faith, and. that we must through tri­ bulation enter into the Kingdom, of God,’ They organized the local churches, ordained elders, and final­ ly returned to Antioch in Syria, whence they had/ set out on this mo­ mentous first missionary journey of the Christian Church. And they "gathered the church together” jand "rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how He had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.”- Paul and Barnaibas wore the whole armtor of God in ’this spiritual, war­ fare, which involved such physical peril. That armor is described in the lesson passage .in Eiphesians. It is an interesting fact that every piece of the armor represents Christ Himself, truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God;. If we wOuld testify effectively to our Saviour, as Paul and Barnabas did', we must wear the same- armor that they wore.
