LESSON FOR JANUARY 16 PETER'S SERMOQAT PENTECOST LESSON TEXT-Acts 2:14-47. GOLDEN TEXT-Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Comparing verse one (R. V.) with the last clause of verse 15, we con clude that this was one early morning prayer meeting which drew a crowd. In this crowd (vv. 9, 10) and on this occasion we see in miniature the evangelism of the world. What Peter hoped to accomplish is an interesting speculation and is answered by. his mainer and mode of testimony. His famous "sermon" consists of 12 verses, and the balance in quotations from Joel,. Psalms, etc. I. ,The Empowered Witness, vv. 14. 36. (1) Peter 'testified that Jesus is alive. (a) These men, speaking by the power of the Spirit, are not drunk en, but are speaking in soberness of a great fact. (b) This that they hear "is that" prophecied by Joel (2:28, 29). This Jesus of whom they have been speaking had fulfilled this proph ecy by mighty deeds (v. 22), by hav ing risen from the dead (v. 23) and of this the disciples were all witnesses (v. 32); he had also been "exalted" (v. 33), and his glory Peter had wit nessed upon the mount (11 Peter 1: 16-18). (2) Peter asserts that whoso ever believes in Jesus as Lord and Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah, shall be saved tvv. 21, 36). (a) He shall be saved from sin and misery in this world; (b) saved unto a life eter nal; (c) he shall receive this same power the disciples had received. Pe ter's witnessing is the same as Jesus has a right to expect of us, the testi mony of personal experience, backed up by the word of God. Jesus was in dorsed by his miracles, the testimony of those who had seen him as the risen Lord and by his fulfillment of Messianic prophecy. He was also exalted in the testi mony given in all tongues by the em powering spirit. i. The Powerful Result, vv. 37-42. The truth of Peter's words was car ried home by the Holy Spirit produc ing deep conviction of sin. (1) Con version. 'The question' of verse 37 was a result. They had seen the place of Jesus in the plan of prophecy of God. They saw the boldness of these disciples and they also saw their sin. (2) Confession. Peter's an swer to their question was plain and simple. (a) "Repent," I. e., change their minds and their attitude towards Jesus, from that which had caused his crucifixion, to one of absolute sur render, of repentance and renunciation of sin; the surrender of the will to Jesus as Lord. (2) "Be baptized." Outward water baptism is involved, but it is the symbol of the inward change of neart, of the renunciation of sin, death to self (Rom. 6:4) and the putting on of Christ (Gal. 3:26, 27). (3) Continuance (v, 42). Having ac cepted and confessed Christ, they were to teach others, to have fellowship with believers in prayer and in break ing of bread, to continue "in the way."~ iii. Added Evidence of Power, vv. 43-47. This passage is not a brief for communisnm. It is interesting to note that this communism was among be lievers (v. 44). It was for a special occasion, for they had "tarried at Je rusalem" many days. and beyond doubt had not provided for a long visit. It was according as each "had need." It was purely voluntary (5: 4, 9). The Holy Spli'it, however, does bring unity and altruism among be lievers which expresses itself in social relations and service. There is a difference between the gift of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit's gifts (I Cor. 12). The baptism of -the Holy Spirit or "the tift of the Holy Ghost" is always dependent upon real re Pentatyce and is accompanied by re mission of sins. This experience is the blood-bought right of every be liever in the Lord Jesus Christ. To "receive'' is to take or to claim, and by simple prayer and faith that to which we have a right (Acts 4:31; 8: 15, 16; Luke 11:13; I John 5:14, 16). By making Jesius Lord and Christ we shall receive the promise (v. 39) which, Peter declared, was for Jewish be lievers, their children for coming gen erations, and "all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our Godi shall call," I. e., gentiles of every coming century. In other words, Pentecost was but an episode which ushered in an age, the age of the Holy Spirit, and he is for every child of God, Jewish and gentile, in every ago and in every church. During that apostolic age every new manifestation of the spirit through its accompanying addition to the num ber of believers-"The Lord added day by day those that were saved... many believers; believers were the more added . . . multitudes of both men anid women . . the word of God increased; a great com pany of the priests were obedient to the faith."
