The saine day - It is still the resurrection day, Sunday, the Lord's day. In Ulla ease itt leaet John must have aeed the Modern meth- od in counting the. hour& lt was cer- taiuly long after salvia, as it was even- ing' when Jesus left the two at Enunaus, and they have returned and arc new with the disciples here in the upper romn and yet John says this was. "the same flay." At evening -The events a the day had been many and hupoetant, and the apeetles, except Thomas, who Was absent, were probably talking over what they had semi and heard. Dome' were shut -This probably means that the doors were bolted. Disciples -The dis- ciples were the ten apostles (Thomas be- ing absent) and "them that were with them' (Luke 24; 33); probably the same company that gathered in the upper room after the ascension, See .A.cts 1; 13, 14. Fear of the Jews -There is nothing te show that the ,Jews de- signed to molest the diseiples, but be- cause Christ had been put to death they had reason to fear for their safety. &Sus In the midst -He evidently entered miraculously. In verse 26 Jetfis refers to the fact that the doors wore shut in a way to leave but little doubt that he intends to conVey the impres- sion that Christ' entered by his own pow- er while they were shut. "This fact gives us a glinmse a the power of the spiritual body, showing that it is not ' confined by xnaterial substances." - Scott. After the resurrection Christ's human form, though still real and cor- • poreal, is not subject to the ordinary conditions of material bodies. Before the resurrection was visible unless he willed it otherwise; after the resurrec- tion it would seem that he was invisible unless he willed it otherwise. -Cam. Bib. There is a great mystery attached to Christ's spnitual body which he pos- sessed. after the resurrection. Peace be mite you -His usual salutatien end benediction. "May every blessing of heaven and earth which you need be granted unto you.' It was. peace from trouble, for -Christ was dead and is alive again; the night had passed and the light had begun to dawn, It was peace to those who 'needed the forgiveness of sins; for the atonement was now Made. It was the peaeo of victory over death; the peace of one who had shown his poSver to conquer all his enemies, It was peace because (1) the storm is over, (2) Christ is still their teacher and (3) the prospect will never agdin 'be dark- ened. 20. Had so said -Luke makes men- tion of several other things thot took place before he showed them His hands and side; See chap. 24. 37, 38. Here we see how terrified they were, supposing they had seen a spirit. The difficulty with which the disciples accented the 'tact of the resurrection should streng- then our faith in it. Instead of them being collusion among them to show that Jesus was alive, they themselves were actually convinced against tbeir He then gently* reproved them by ask- ing them why they were troubled mid why they permitted anxious reasimines and questionm,gs to arise in their mids. Mark says (chap. 16. 14) Ho "upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness ef heart." Jesns then proceeded to convince them that He was =deed a real persen. Shewed unto them -The wounds were probably all perfectly healed, but the sears remained. His hands and His tide -Luke says hands and feet. This leaves n9 doubt that Jesus was nailed to the cress and not tied on as .aany were. Jesus told them to handle Him (Luke 24. 39), which they probably did. Glad -They were terrified. at first, but when they knew Him they were glad. There is great joy in the resurrection for every one. When they saw -A sight ef Christ will gladden athe heart of a dis- ciple at any time. It was at this Hine that He gave to them another proof that He was the same Jesus whom they had known. He called for food (Luke 24. 41-43), and did eat before them. _Af- terward the apostles called attention to what now occurred as a proof of their Lord's reeurrection • (Acts 10. 41). 2L Hath sent nie-As I was sent to proclaim the truth of the Most High se I send you for the very same purpose, clothed with authority and influenced by the Spirit. 22. Breathed on them -The breath here should probably be regard- ed as merely an emblem of the Spirit. Receive ye the Holy Spirit (R. V.) -0r, take yog which shows that the Spirit's . presence must be welcomed by them if He came into their lives; they could re- ject Him. Their minds and hearts. were to be illuminated by the Spirit and led 'by the Spirit, and thus they would be prepared to carry on the. work after Christ had left Him. 23. Ye remit, ect.- See R. V. Compare Matt. 16. 10. The gift here imparted was not merely to the ten apostles present, but te the en- tire company of disciples, including.the women. They eould not bave been given power and authority to forgive sins and regenerate man's fallen nature, as that is the prerovative of God only. The •thedium by W-Meh God remits sins is the gospel. "The gospel....is the power of God unto salvation" (Rom. 1. 16). The faithful preaching of the gospel was here committed to the disciples and those who accepted and obeyed die gos- pel as preached by them and turned by faith te Ohrist as their Savionr from sin. wetild be forgiven., while these who re- jected the preaching of the dieciplee would rest under condemnation. The unbelief of Thomas (vs. 24, 23.) 24. Thomas -This was his Hebrew name and Didymus his Greek name! both mean "a twin." Was not with them -This wits one of the principal causes of the unbelief ef this 'apostle. He should have been at his pest with the rest. then he would have seen and heard tTesus and would have received the bless:. ings and encouragement that the other's received. 23. Except shall see -Thomas would net believe the testimony of the ten apostlem. He is most unreasonable and obetinate in his unbelief. I will net believe -Thomas is so certain that it eat net be se that he is 'determined not to be convinced; he will not accept or- dinary evidenee. HE The sixth appearance (vs. 26-294 2fL After tight days -One week frore that time on the next Lord's day night. Again they were met for religious wor- slap, and this time Thomas wes with them; probably eneouraged to be pre - tent by 'What the other apostles haa told him. Then Cattle Sesus-arsue will al- ways be pteeeet with those who meet in his name. 27. Reath hither -Our Med meete hira in his own languege and thitt was a rebuke to Thomas, showing him that Item, though not present, keew all the hard, iithelievieg things he had said.

PRACTICAL _APPLICATIONS. "When the doors were. shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus" (v. 19). A. 3, Gor- don says: 'When the augry Jews press ed on Christ's disciples so savagely that they were obliged to ge iato solitude and bolt the door, then Paradise opened and the stairway of glory appeared, whereon the Son of num was seen as- cending. It is ever se, Shut eway from the world, we are shnt in with God. In New York, where lane is high, immense.. ly buildiegs are rising. They have been pressed .heavenward to find room they could not find by spreeding out. So with Christians. In eesy times, when n0 pressure comes, they build fiat, stretch out on the earth. But when trial and persecution and pain come, they build upward toward Leaven, The tallest of Christians are those who are most cramped for room on earth; the highest saints are those most crowded and pushed. by the low sinners of this world." "Jesus., ..stood in the midst" (v. 19). As near to one as to the other. Learn a lesson of unity. Christ the centre of every life. These who ere his are one. Learn a lesson of concentration. Meke him the pivot around. which each thought revolves. "He showed unto them his hands and his sicle" (v. 20). Hands worn with toil, bands that had been outetretched to Peter as he was sinking beneath the waves, hands that had touched tb life the widow's son being carried to his burial, hands that they had last seen white, bleeding, nailed, lifeless. "He showed unto them his hands." To the despondent Luther, Stanpitz said, "Look at the wounds of Jesus." The thought of the. pierced hands pleading for us in glory may well make. us "glad" (v. 20). "As my Father has sent me, even so send I you" (v, 21). G-od sent not His Soneto condemn the world, but that the world through Him might he savede(John 3, 17). 'Not condenmittion is your mis- sion and mine, but the loving meseage of salvation (Luke 4, 43). He was sent te bind up the broken hearted, to praclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening ef the prison to them that are bound, te comfort all that mourn (Isa. 61, 1, 3). He was sent that the meek should in- crease their joy, and the peer rejoice (ism 29, 19). Is this your mission? Is your time given to helping others, either in the home or out of it, to a better, higher, holier living? Is it • given te strengthen, support and comfort • the poor, weak, sorrowing ones? Is your money used te draw others closer to Christ, or to draw them about you? De you dress to please Him, or some friend? Do you famish your home to make it a blesaing to all who share it with you, or to make it attractive te worldly asiociates? Do you indulge in luxuries to glorify God or to satisfy year natural desire for beautiful things/ Are your purchases made from neeeseity or to gratify vanity? Is your home a city of refuge far the poor, the trotibled, or the oppmssed? er do you entertain only distinguished guests, or those Who would be likely to entertain you? Would a poor man feel at home in your parlor er at your dining table? Do you love others as Christ hath loved you? "Peace be unto you" (v. 19). Jesus' first word to the women, who had been true to him, was, "Joy to you" (Matt: 28, 9). His first word to the men who had forsaken Him was, "Peace onto you." It was the peace of pardon, ye - conciliation and assurance. Afterward He said, "Peace be unto you," to quiet the tumult of their joy and prepare them for His commission (v. l2.)• Peace is God's gift. We cannot purchase it by copying Christ's life, nor by copying Hie death. Neither morality• nor mortifica- Hon ean reconcile us to God. Christ made peace through the mosses (Eph. 3, 2, 14); we take peaea by faith (Rom. 5, 1), and. prayer (Phil. 4, 0, 7). * "Receive yo the Holy Spivit," (v. 22, R. V.). 'It is significaet that Jesus,. havins" •coneluded His Ministry before He suffered, by unfolding. the doctrine ef the personel‘ Hely %est to- dwell in the hearts of Hid disciples, in His first meeting with them after Ilirresurree- Lion should begin to preach. to them the gospel of the Hely Spirit, changing ofily the form of His presentation of it from promise to plea„eaying, 'Receive ye the Holy Spirit.' This was His distinctive message to them during the forty days He sojourned with them, until His as- cension, reiterating the truth in diversi- ' fied ways. He WaS the glorious herald of the dispensation of the Holy Spirit - How meeh more should we of the twen- tieth ceintury of the Pen-et:costal era re- ceive. and recognize tbe Holy Spirit as an indwelling presence'!" "Whose soever sins ye remit" (v. 23), "The apostles remitted sins by testify. ing of the •remission of sins on the groand of the acceptance Of erticified and riten Christ. They retained sins by deelarin,„„e on God's behalf that guilty sinners 'before 'whom the way of life was set, and who deliberately rejected it were left to die in their sias" (aoni- pare Acts 13, 46).
