Golden text: *Now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the first fruits of them that are asleep.”—I Corinthi- ans, xv.20. Easter calls for the consideration of the resurrection of Christ. Al- though this great fact is commemo- rated in the observance of the Lord's Day and is testified to by the exist- ence of the Church, confirmed by the New Testament, and exemplified by the observed ordinances of Christ's followers, the basal fact of the Chris- tian faith and preaching is gripping men more and more each year with the coming of Easter that proclaims to the world the reality of the resurrection. Our Lord’s conquest over the darkness of the tomb was the subject of our consideration a few weeks ago, o that In our study today we will give more considera- tion to the regular lesson with its message of the resurrection. Paul met the difficulties that existed in the Corinthian Church over the problem of the resurrection of be- lievers by citing the evidence of Christ’s triumph over the grave. He pointed out that the resurrection of Jesus was the basal fact of the Chris- tlan message and the assurance of the bellevers’ resurrection. The 1v- ing Lord was the heart of the gos- pel and this promotes Christian living and labor. Politics, philosophy and sclence have no certain message con- cerning a future life. The resurrec- tion of Jesus encourages us with a desire to serve Him in a victorious future life. “The spirit of the living Christ is among us and is constantly working to build even the physical forces of this world into a veritable body of Christ.” We ses this in the relief of the sick today, just as we do in the healing of the cripple at the beautiful gate, that was conclusive evidence to the aposties that their Lord still lived and through His spiritual guidance was continuing to carry on through them the mighty works which have characterized His ministry. Evidently Luke selected this important incident from the “many signs and wonders” performed by the apostles. because it marked the beginning of persecution by ths authorities of Judaism that ended in the complete separation of Chris- tlanity from the direction of the Jew- fsh Sanhedrin. Lame Beggar Cured. While the Old Testament economy had ceased with the coming of the Holy irit, the disciples of Jesus continued to attend the Temple at the hour of prayer and join with their countrymen in the worship of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They continued faithful to all the obligations of Jewish worship until they were denfed the fellowship of [the synagogues and the Temple. In {this was demonstrated the fact that | the spiritual tie which sometimes ex- {ists between Christians Is closer and {dearer than that existing between | bfothers after the flesh. It was through fellowship in service that the impulsive, quick and outspoken | Peter became &0 strongly attached {to the steadfast, silent and medi- tative John. They completed and supplemented each other. Peter's bold eagerress attracted John, who helped and toned down Peter by his quiet [thoughtfulness. Ivery house of worship in the Near East has an object of human help- lessness seeking alms. There can be found today upon the steps of syna- gogues, mosques and churches the lame, the halt and the blind, appeal- ing for help, just as in the days of the apostles. The threshold of God's meeting places for worship through- out the world is always the center of charity and community uplift. There was something about the physical or spirituml helplessness of the lame beggar at the beautiful gate of the temple that the Holy Spirit used to attract the attention of Peter and John as they were about to enter its courts for worship. He was well known and had probably been occupying the same position and asking alms for years. His friends had been placing this helpless beggar there daily, where his condition would appeal to the stream of wor- shipers who passed through the massive Corinthian brass gate, richly overlaid with gold and silver plates, Into the temple to worship, so that his afMiction and character were well known by the people. | There was something magnetic about Peter's personality and voice that encouraged the lame beggar to expect something from the two strangers, who had stopped and Ifastened their eyes upon him. There was no autosuggestion or hypnotism in Peter's method that followed his Master's healing ministry. While he may have been disappointed at the fact that they had no gold or silver to give unto him, the beggar evi- dently had faith in the promise of the apostles. When he seized Peter's hand there was an unseen hand of the living and risen Christ that grasped the hands of the two and cured immediately the lame beggar, when, in obedience to His name and in the power of the Lord, he attempt- od to rise up and walk. A joyful new worshiper entered the temple with the apostles and the multitude, who were attracted by the man's actions and miracle. Pater proclaimed that the lame beggar had been cured by the risen Christ. Risen Christ's Work. Miracles do not always carry con- viction as to their source. The veo- ple by their questions and attitude of amazement at the wonderful cure jof the well known beggar, who had been born lame, revealed that they did not understand how he had been made sound and strong in his limbs. His denial of possessing any power to perform such a cure was more than “a modest disclaimer.” He in- flamed them by His pungent preach- ing that condemned them for their rejection of Jesus, whom He called God's “Servant,” which is a quotation taken from Isafah, who called th Messiah “the Servant of the Lord. He pointed out how the nation's lead- ers had delivered to the Roman power and denied Him before Pilate. There was nothing of the fear that caused Peter to deny His Lord in UNITARIAN. very | that bold and fearless condemnation of their guilt. He then became more sonciliatory, as he accounted for their failures, by pointing out their wickedness was due to lgnorance. He then sought to encourage his Jewish hearers to repent of their sins, because God had demonstrated by tide resurrection of Jesus that He was the Messiah, whose power had healed the begga: Not only did he press home to his Jewish hearers the resurrection of Christ, concerning which event he as- sured them that John and he were witnesses, to encourage them to re- pent, but he pointed out that Christ's death was in accordance with the re- quirements of the prophe Another motive for their repentance was the fact the Lord's return hinged upon their acceptance of Him as the Mes- siah. Peter considered all the prom- ises concerning the return of the Lord were of a national character. He believed that “the faster Israel turned to Jesus, the sooner would Jesus return to Israel; for, as Peter wrote a great many years later, “the Lord is not slack concerning His promise to return; He is only long suffering, not willing that any should perisn.” While Peter's bold and aggressive message moved the multitude to re- pent, it aroused the anger and oppo- sition of the leaders. The promise of the Lord's return, which implied His resurrection, appeared to threat- en them with a return oY all the trouble that they had made for them- selves, when He was present with them in the flesh. They feared the results of their teaching, so the priests, the chief of police in the temple and the Sadducces had Peter and John arrested, charging that they had taught the people and preached the resurrection, which is the basic fact of the Christian message and the foundation of man’'s hope for a future life of servic LECTURES ARRANGED FOR COLORED MEN King Hall Foundation of Episcopal Church Announces Course for Eight Weeks.
