In tba unfolding and ever-widening
of tha program of power we are again
confronted with • crucial event. It
la auggaatlva that at thia time Paul,
whoa* name baa‘just beau changed
from Saul, now assumes bta place of
leadership, succeeding Barnabas Far-
go, the capital of Psmpliylia, wax <m
the southern coast of Asia Minor, and
Antioch, tha capital of Pisidta (south-
ern Qalatls) was 90 mites north. Paul
ta now tn full control and no other
man save our Lord has so deeply im-
pressed human history
|. Paul's Opening (w. 13-16). We
are not told why John Mark returned
to Jerusalem. He may have objected
to the changed leadership; there may
hpve been elcknesa involved; as a Jew
he may have objected to Paul's ac-
tions. His subsequent missionary seal
restored him to Paul’a favor (II. Tim.
4:11). Departing from Perga (v. 14),
perhaps on account of an attack of
fever (Oal. 4:18, 14), the party ascend-
ed to the higher altitude of the Impor-
tant city of Antioch, the atte of which
ta now marked by extensive and im-
pressive ruins. After finding lodgings
they repaired to the synagogue on the
Uabbatb day. Here they could meet
the peoply aud would be given oppor-
tunity to speak of Jesus. Paul put
himself In the way of opportunity aud
opportunity to beckoned to him. They
did not demand this privilege because
they were Christian workers. Their
participation in the service aud other
actions commended them to the re-
aped of the leaders of the synagogue,
'which was the great democratic forum
'of the Jewish nation. '
II. Paul's Sermon (vv. 16-41). Paul
began his remarks, even as Peter did
at Pentecost, by quoting the Old Tes-
tament and referring to Jewish his-
tory, using the same to lead up to bis
testimony about Jesus. (Matt. 6:17.)
’"It Is ours to ehow wherein Christ ful-
filled the law, the obligation resting
upon us by reason of his covenant of
grace, and the blessings which Issue
therefrom." Tills Is oue of Paul's three
recorded missionary sermous (see atm*
>cte 14:16-18;; 17:22-81). The last
two were to QentUes only. This is a
hcrlptural discourse. (1) Messiahs
people end ancestry (17-23); (2) Mes-
siah's forerquner (24, 25); Messiah
rejected (26-29); (4) Messiah risen
from the dead (30-37); (5) Jesus (he
Justifier (88-39); (6) the application,
h word of warning (40, 41). There
must have been some evidence of rest-
lessness In his audience, hence bis
sharp warning (41).
III. Paul’s Deetsion (vv. 42-47). After
the separation of Jews from Greek
proselytes the latter besought Paul
to continue his testimony literally "the
.Sabbath between," perhaps at the mid
week meetings. Questions and discus
sions were "the order in the breaking
up of the synagogue service, and as
Paul and his company departed they
were accompanied by some who had
believed (v. 48). Knowing the testing
which would follow, Paul and Barns
baa did personal work with these, ex
hortiug to steadfastness (Johu 8: 31.
82; Pol. 1.23) tn tbe grace of God
(V. 88, 89; Rom. 3:24; Bph. 2 8). It is
only in grace that any are able to
"continue" (Rom. 6:2; Gal. 5:1, 4).
It is personal work which gathers a
crowd and such was the method of
Paul aud Barnabas during the inter
vening week. So well was the work
done and so great was the power of
their testimony that "almost the whole
city" gathered the next Sabbath to
"bear the Word of God.” Such evident
Interest in this new teaching amused
the Jealousy of tUe Jews Years ol
Jewish proselyting had never secured
such a result as this one address of a
doubtful stranger produced But back
of this Jealousy was the greater sin o*
unbelief. To hear tbe Word of Uod
(II Titus 4:2; I Tbess. 2:13) does not
necessarily produce obedience and
faith (Luke 8:5-7); not always the
greatest number of hearers will pro-
duce the greatest number of convee
siona. To Interrupt a speaker is not
uukuown In synagogues today. The
opponents "contradicted und blas-
phemed," doubtless contending tbat
all who bang on a tree are accursed
(Gal 8:18) aud they produced a wild
tempest of voices and confusion. Only
to attack and to destroy tbe work of
Paul and Barnabas could save these
Jewish leaders. Human nature is tha
sattie everywhere.
Paul and Barnabas thrived upon op-
position. We believe they foresaw thia
development and were prepared for
tha emergency (v. 46). Because of
loug training the Jews were best fit-
ted to receive the Gospel. It was no
•evident that the first apostles were
Jowa, but it Is serious hUHliiess to re-
ject the Christ, and the history of lbs
Jewish uallou since rejecting Jesus
has been writleu in bluud mid tears.
Paul's "Lo we turn" (v. 46) marked
the Rubicon of spiritual history Chris
