Then is bo more fascina
ting couple in the New Test
ament than Priscilla and
Aquila. We first of all meet
Priscilla and Aquila in today's
scripture passages Acts 18:1
4, 18:21. Paul worked with
them at the mastered trade of
tentmaking as well as the
important task at spreading
the gospel. In a life shared so
completely and at so many
points, understanding would
naturally develop into inti
macy of an unusual kind. How
wonderful it would be if every
pastor and his flock could
develop that kind of under
standing and intimacy. In
deed, alongside every effec
tive pastor there ia a support
ing team of dedicated laity at
both men and women, Bfce
Prisdlla and Aquila. Also, the
fact that Pris cilia, in Romans
l6:3rtrBaSbd~befbre Aquila
has led to the probable
conclusioa that, at least from
the point at. view at the
Christian community, she was
the more important of the two
reveals the importance of
women in the early church.
"For as many of you as were
baptized into Christ have put
on Christ. There is...neither
male nor female; for you are
all one in Christ Jesus,"
Galatians 3:27-28. The impor
tant think, however, that must
be realized is the fact that the
church is not a one-person
band but an orchestration of
talents and eoMMsai cf ,
sizes Ike IwwtiOT of every
ChnsBan being an effective
foe beach warmers in king- ,
dom work.
It is said, as has already
been noted, that Prisci"- m4
Aqutla aad Paul were of the
same craft aad vocation. They
labored together as tentmak
ers but their real celling was
Christian service and wit
nessing. The end and purpose
of their lives was not making
teats but serving Christ,
loving people in His name and
winning them to a saving
experience aad knowledge of
Christ. Every sincere believer
should have the same concept
today. John Wesley, the
founder of the Methodist
Church, made three points in
a sermon on stewardship. He
said, 'Make all you can
honestly, save all you can,
and give all you can." The
good Lord wants us to be
successful in our vocations,
not for the purpose of satisfy
ing our egos or providing for
luxuries, for the Christian
should live the life-style of
limpbrity, bet ffctf W MM, 1
earttu fl.,
accompany Paul to Pphsini.
There, they re-established .
themselves both hi the busi
ness of UurtmeHrtg *?d of
witnessing. Their's is an .
example that all believers
would do weg to follow today.
The Christian should be
available for service any
where at any place. We have
associated this attitude with
pastors and missionaries.
Why not the laity alxof One of
the greatest needs in an
increasingly secular America
is for Christian families to
open their homes like Priscilla
and Aquilla as a household
that also serve* as a church.
Indeed, every house should
be a church, for a church is
where Jesus dwells for when
two or three are gathered in
His name He is in their midst
From the home of Priscilla
and Aquila. wherever they
were, they radiated friend
ship, fellowship St love (A
of the most valuable things in
the wend is to neve s Obac
away from home in which to
C* Such a home takes away
tonelneas and protects front
temptation. Sometimes we
think of a home as a place
with a shot door, a place into
which we can go and shot the
door and keep the world out;
but equally a home should be
a place with an open door,
especially if it is a Christian
home. The open door rather
than the closed door, the open
hand rather than the clenched
fist, and the open heart rather
than the closed, prejudiced
heart are the characteristics of
the Christian life and the
Christian home. A hint to the
wise is sufficient. Amen.
