Acts, 1.6-14, 11.1-47, Judea and and until the uttermost the’ earth.”—Acts, Many Americans have overlooked the place of Christianity as an important contributing factor to our Nation's free- dom that we celebrate every Fourth of Jll:{. Men engaged in that epoch- making event never dreamed of the present position and power of our coun- . It is only as we look back upon their stand for liberty, equality and jus- tice that we can detect how in their zeal for the rights of the Colonies they were influenced by the truths of Chris- tianity, whose birth we are to study today. During the last six months our les- sons have focused upon the personality of Jesus Christ, the coming six months of our study will follow the history of the spread of Christianity “from Jeru- salem unto the uttermost part of the earth.” In our former studies we saw how, with the spirit and thoroughness of a modern historian, Luke, the cul- [ woi tured Gentile Christian, who was s product of Paul's ministry, had been inspired to write the third gospel, that | to recorded what Jesus commenced to do and teach. It is natural that the same writer should be prompted by a divine urge to record in “The Acts” what Jesus continued to do and teach after His ascension, Jesus, from above, continues to be the dynamic head of the new movement. The agents are His agents, the church is His body and the Holy Spirit was the power from above that He promised to bestow upon His apos- tles in His farewell commencement ad- | dress to the graduates of His peripa- tetic school. Being Jews, in all probability, they would have waited in Jerusalem 10 days longer for the observance of Pentecost, which, as the feast of the harvest or of weeks or of first fruits, recalled the giv- ing of the law. It was the great memo- rial birthday of the Hebrew polity, fol- lowing 50 days after the Red Sea was crossed, It pleased the wise Master Builder to respect the memorials of ancient Judaism when He was laying the foundations of a new era that was destined to change the character and degtiny of men and nations. The Hely Spirit Given. Pentecost found that the 11 had been increased to 120, who were all assem- bled in the upper room where Jesus had appeared to the apostles and ate the Passover with them. Among the number was Mary, the Blessed Mother of our Lord Jesus, and His brethren. They had through prayer come to & unity of desire to be filled with the promised power from on high that was to equip them with understanding and give them a complete explanation of the events that they had witnessed since Christ’s resurrection. Early on that epoch-making day they were all filled with the Holy Spisit. The coming of the promised power ranks second to the advent of the Lord Jesus in the history of the world. The fulfillment of Christ's promise of the Holy Spirit was merked by three dis- tinct outward signs that clearly dem- onstrated the presence of the Living God among men. There was the sound of a m_g:ty wind, when there was no wind. re were tongue of flame, each of the 120 being crowned with one of the tongues. There was the spelhns with foreign tongues, which astonishe« and confounded the devout Jews who were prerent with proselytes from all parts of the Romen Empire. The three supernatural characteris- ties had their own meaning. The sound of the wind was prophetic of the per- suasive life-giving power of the Holy Spirit. The fire was indicative of the purifying eriergy of the Spirit's work in the lives of men. The tongues were revelations of the purpose of the com- ing of the Holy Spirit to abide with men, for He came not only to witness to the Lord Jesus, but also to fit all Chris- tians to become living and powerful witnesses of Christ's resurrection and promise of salvation. The gift of the tongues of fire made all of the 120 willing and powerful testifiers of the Gospel, The Immediate Results. The change in the attotude and dis- position of the group that had waited in the upper room for the promised power was 8o noticeable that they suf- fered from hostile criticism that called for an immediate defense, or the newly formed organization would be under a cloud.

He contended ved to be the Mes- ouing of - the. Holy by the outpouring of 0] !;Idflt‘ He cited Davidic authority and made an e ition of the Old ment teachings concerning the Holy Spirit and the disciples’ testimony that was a metaphysical masterpiece. The only explanation of Peter’s sermon, that was free from any of the pitfalls of the novice, was the power of the Holy Spirit who gujded the apostle in his defense of the early church. Peter's message has come down t! th the centuries in the Scriptures and through the lips of many thousand preachers. “We are of the all flesh on whom God has not only promised to pour out His Spirit but is doing it; and calling on the Lord Jesus for salvation, we may plead on our own behalf His ancient “whosoever.” He is still reigning on high anxiously waiting to save all who call upon Him. Peter's rds went home because he was filled with the Holy Spirit, who con- victed men of their sins and revealed them Jesus as the Savior of the world, so that thousands asked what they should do to be saved. Three Thousand Converts. Not less than 3,000 accepted Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior, for that number were baptized in accordance with Christ's commands, having satis- fled the early church that they had repented of their sins and desired to publicly acknowledge theif faith in Jesus as their Messianic King. Such a large number being added to the newly formed body of Christian be- lievers threatened their unity. Victory came because, in obedience to Christ's commands, the group of 120 waited upon God in prayer seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit. If we are to be factors in winning men for Christ and conqueripg the world for Him, we must seek to- filled with pewer from on high to be used in testifying for Jesus. ‘The dnngt of the young church’s character being changed by such a large ingathering was prevented by the apostles’ teaching the members the truths that they had personally learned from Christ. They explained to them how the Lord Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament Scriptures, especially the prophecies concerning Christ's birth, His public ministry and messages. Their faith was quickened by their ob- servance of the breaking of the bread, which kept fresh in their minds what they individually owsd to Jesus as their Savior. Their spiritual life was developed by their observance of the prayer life of the church. Every-soul connected with the church shared with those n"dl:l! assistance, so .that the |Lord kept adding to them daily those | that were being saved through the | Our hope for the stability and success lof all our Christian efforts depends upon our being filled with the Holy Spirit.
