CHRIST’S COMMISSION LESSON TEXT—Luke 24:36-53. GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, I send the prom ise of my Father upon you.—Luke 24:49 . Calvary and the darkness of the tomb gave way to the glory of the resurrection morning. Jesus had appeared to the two on the Emmaus road, and when they hurried back to Jerusalem to tell the eleven dis ciples, who were gathered behind barred doors, they found that He had already appeased, not only to the women, whose story they did not believe (see v. 11), but also to Peter (v. 34). While they were excitedly discussing this great wonder, appar ently torn between belief and un belief, joy and sorrow, suddenly Jesus appeared, coming through the barred door and greeting them with a blessed message of peace. I. A Risen Christ for Fellowship (w. 36-43). The disciples were bewildered and slow to believe. Perhaps we would have done no better. Note how patient and gracious He was in dealing with these frightened —and, in a sense, stupid—disciples. He might have been so discouraged by their unbelief as to be short and sharp with them, but He was not. We need to learn of Him. There are weak brethren even in the church of Christ who need our tender and pa tient consideration (see Rom. 15:1; I Theft*. 5:14). Christ died for the weak brother too (I Cor. 8:11). What a blessed time of fellowship the disciples and the Lord had to gether. Such times are greatly needed for our mutual encourage ment. Let us not forsake the assem bling of ourselves together (Heb. 10: 25). In a day of need and trial those that fear the Lord should speak often with one another and with the Lord (Mai. 3:16; I John 1:7). n. A Dependable Book for Guid ance and Instruction (w. 44-46). Jesus gave His own endorsement to the Old Testament as a depend able record of the prophecies con cerning His person and His work of redemption. The critics of God’s Word must face the fact that their man-made theories are in conflict with the testimony of the Son of God. Of the two, we know whom we will believe! Notice that an important part of the Lord’s fellowship with His dis ciples was devoted to opening their minds so they could understand the Scripture. The word “opened” might be translated “disentangled.” He took out the prejudices, the wrong ideas, and set them free to understand and appreciate the Scriptures. III. A Great Message for Procla mation (vv. 47-49). Fellowship with Christ and a knowledge of God’s Word which does not result in an aggressive witness for Him is quite useless. We meet Him and learn His truth that we may carry it out to all nations, not forgetting (note it!) to begin at the wicked Jerusalem which is right at our doorstep. The business, and the only busi ness, of the Church is that witness. We need to renew our commission, get it clearly in mind, and then proceed to carry it out. “But,” somebne may say, “we are not able for this great task.” Of course not; but He is able, and will enable us. “Power from on high” is the por tion of God’s witnesses. This world worships power—mechanical, politi cal or military power. The greatest power of all is spiritual power, and God is ready to give it to His faith ful witnesses. Note that the message is one of repentance and remission of sins “in His name.” The gospel of Christ is the primary need of men and wom en, boys and girls, in your commu nity and mine; yes, and to the very ends of the earth. IV. An Ascended Lord to Worship (w. 50-53). The ascension of Christ is not often made the subject of a sermon or message in the church, but it is an important doctrine of Scripture. It marks the completion of the work of Christ, and His return to the place of honor at the right hand of the Father. There, before the Father’s throne. He is the advocate of every believer, the pledge and assur ance of a perfect and eternal fel lowship between God and believing man. The worship which the disciples gave to Christ as He ascended went on as they returnect to their appoint ed place of witness,'for they continu ally praised Him. Such should be the attitude of every true believer. In the temple of his own heart there should always be the joy of the Lord as He is there worshiped and adored. Now we have completed our study of Luke, but we cannot stop here, for the Gospel, according to Luke’s own statement in Acts 1:1, was only the story of what Jesus “began both to do and to teach.” The continuation of that account is found in the book of Acts, which we begin to study next Sunday. ’ U/;\V-m 1 u? v !

TIPS to (jardeners CHOOSE BEANS WISELY /_ pHE gardener should be well ac- quainted with the many avail able varieties of stringless beans, if he is to get the most from his bean crop. If earliness is the principal in terest, the gardener should select either Bountiful (green-podded) or Golden Wax (yellow). Bountiful is excellent for use when small, in shoe-string size. It is also a- good choice for home cfuining, for it produces abundantly. The gardener interested in yield over a long season should select both a bush bean, and a pole bean. The pole beans begin producing when the yield from the bush beans Itepers off. Kentucky Wonder is one of the best all-purpose pole beans. It provides good quality snap beans. When past the snap stage, the pods may be cut up, and cooked southern style. Later, this bean may be used in the green shell stage. In the more mature stage the beans may be used in baking or in soup. ASK ME ANOTHER A Quiz With Answers Offering Information on Various Subjects The Questions 1.
