This text offers a wealth of sug gestion. 1. A sure declaration, “This Is a faftliful saying.” He bases this decla ration upon Ids own experience. He writes in the spirit of gratitude to ids ! Lord who had enabled him to he 1 counted worthy of being put into this ' ministry. lie states how lie was a blasphemer and a persecutor, but he obtained mercy through the grace of ■ God and life which is in Christ Jesus. Is not tliis experience true to the ex perience of every life? All of u? have been sinners, alienated by our sir from tlie grace of God. Cannot we also say as did the Apostle Paul, “This is a faithful saying”? Christ has always been faithful to those who accepted His plan of salvation and since He lias redeemed us*, how we ought to be willing to tell others of His faithfulness. .2. A secure place. “Worthy of all acceptation.” Jesus Christ becomes to the be liever a safe investment. The Apostle Paul refers to this in his letter to Timothy by saying, “According to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.” Not only does He become a secure place for us hut we become a deposi tory for His truth. What a sacred trust He lias committed to us and how faithful we ought to be in safeguard ing this trust ! 3. His divine mission, “Christ Jesus came.” Some would have us believe ihat Jesus was paramount to every other teacher and that would plac»* Him ns such to iho exclusion of His sacrilice. Others say He was but a martyr and died for the thing He be lieved. Others tell us His mission was that of a philanthropist, pouring out His life in the land of Palestine. Thus they emphasize the social impli- 1 cations of His life to the exclusion of any saving power.. But the tiling that broke the hearts of His disciples was, “Christ died for our sins.” We are washed in His own blood. Not one of the writers of the Epistles re fers to Him in any other way than as a Savior. He came from the pres ence of God to bring to a lost and dy- j ing world a salvation to set us free | from sin and give us a home in | heaven. 4. The place to which lie came, | “Into the world.” He left the shining ’ courts above and the habitation of angels to come into a needy world that was sinking in despair. All through the ages from I he time of ! creation, man hud a tendency to run away from God. God tried to call him | back through the chosen family, 1 through the prophets and through the j law, hut man would not return. Jesus , Christ took upon Himself the form of man and condescended so low as to get underneath man to bring him to ike Father. He says of this act, “And I, if I he lifted up from the earth will : draw all men unto me.” This is the message for our personal testimony, • fur the pulpit and our sphere of teaching. 5. The great work, “To save sin ners.” lie is a Savior to all men, hav ing purchased salvation for every one. tt is my privilege in my work to go into the very haunts of sin to carry tliis glorious Gospel. I have seen men in prison, in the hospital, in the gutter, and in the saloon become noble Christians when they have accepted the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary. How the church should en deavor to do all it can to carry these glad tidings into the highways and byways of sin 1 Some day we shall receive a crown studded with blight jewels and glittering gems, because we have been faithful to the charge, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” G. A personal confession, “Of whom l am chief.” Paul ever remembered the work of Christ in lifting him from sinking sand and placing him upon the solid rock. He was ever ready and willing to place himself among the lost, even calling himself the chief ; of sinners. Our testimony by word and action has a great deal to do with our influence upon the people in oui Christian ministry. We often tell ot the glories and blessings of a re deemed life and urge others to conic up and live in these heavenly places in Christ Jesus while forgetting to tell how to get up. The Apostle Paul was ever reads’ to tell-’-that by taking tin- place of a sinner before God, lie was- exulted and honored by his Father. The call has come to us to declare the unsearchr.? :. aches of Christ. I. Israel’s Responsibility With Ref- presenLj crence to God’s Laws (Deut. 0:4-9). 1. Central truths to ha taught (vv. 4, 5). (1) Unity of God. “The Lord our God is one Lord.” He is God alone, therefore to worship another is sin. (2) Man’s supreme obligation (v. 5). God should be loved with all the heart, soul and might, because He is God alone and supreme. This being the first and the great commandment, we know what is man’s supreme duty. 2. How these truths are to be kept alive (vv. 0-9). The place for God’s Word is in the heart. In order that it may be in the heart (1) “teach it diligently to thy children” (v. 7). The most important part of a child’s education is that given in the home in the Word of God. How sadly this is neglected today! (2) To talk of them in the home (v. 7). This is tiie right kind of home life. How blessed is that home where God’s Word is the topic of conversa tion. (3) Talk of .hem when walking with or.r children and friends (v. 7). (4) Talk of them when retiring for the night (v. 7). The last thing upon which the mind should rest before go ing to sleep should he God and His truth. (5) Talk of them when rising in the morning (v. 7). How fitting that God should speak to us the first tiling when we awake! (G) Bind them upon thine hand (v. S). This was literally done by the Jews even to the wearing of them in little boxes between their eyes. (7) Write them upon the posts of the houses and on the gates (v. 9). Such a remembrance of God’s words would create a spir itual atmosphere most desirable. II. Gaui’3 Ground of Confidence (Phil. 3:4-0). lie had everything a true Jew gloried in. 1. Circumcized the eighth day (v. 5). This was the literal requirement of the law for those born under the Abrahamie covenant. 2. “Of the stock of Israel” (v. 5). Tliis shows that he was a true Jew. related to the chosen people by blood and birth. 3. Of the tribe of Benjamin. Benjamin had al\vays remained loyal to the national customs. The lirst king of Israel, whose name he bore, was of Benjamin. 4. “Hebrew of the Hebrews’’ (v. 5). This showed that he was of Hebrew parentage and not a proselyte. 5. Touching the law, a Pharisee (v. 5). The Pharisees were of the sect most zealous for all the rites and cere monies of Judaism. 6. “Concerning zeal, persecuting the church” (v. 6). lie proved ids zeal by positive ef fort to stamp out that which was threatening Judaism. 7. “Touching the righteousness which Is in the law, blameless” (v. 6). So exactly had he conformed to the outer requirements of the law that he was consciously blameless. III. A Ckctch cf Saul's Life (Acts 22:3. 27, 2S). In this sketch he gives us a glimpse of ids birth, education and citizen ship. 1. His birth (v. 3). Though horn at Tarsus, a city out- f,id:‘ of Palestine lie had been brought up in a strict Jewish home. Tarsus was the capital of the province of Cilicia. It was a city of prominence because of its commerce and culture. It was one of the three principal uni versity cities of that period. 2. His education (v 3). Born out of Palestine, lie was sent to Jerusalem for ids education. This fact shows that he belonged to a zealous family of Jews. His teacher was the great Gamaliel, a doctor of the law and the leader of the strict sect of the Pharisees. Ilis citizenship (vv. 27, 2S). He was by birth a Roman citizen because Tarsus was the capital of a Roman province. In the providence of God the great apostle to the Gentiles was given the prestige of a free born citizens of the empire. He was loyal to ids country and proud of ids citizenship.
