OOLDEN TEXT?I commend ysu to Ood and to the word of hie (race.?Acta 30: St After hi* experience In Bpnesus Paul went to Corinth, where, ainldat much sickness and affliction, he cared for the churches, corrected their wrong conduct and probably wrote several of his letters and epistles (II Cor. 4 :T-11; 11:28; 12:20). Prom Corinth he jour neyed by way of Phllllpl to Troaa where be preached his famous long sermon (v. 6-12), that sermon which had such a tragic result. It Is recorded as a witness to the power ef the pray er of faith and Paul's readiness to serve Id time of need. In his baste to reach Jerusalem before the Day of l'entecost (A. D. 68) Paul did not re turn to Rphesus, but, in order to savp time, he had the elders of that church meet him at Miletus (See a good I map). ? 1. A Great Review (vv. 17-28). Paul'* statesmanship and geulus for organi zation Is nowhere more clearly aet forth than here. He had plana for a great evangelistic campaign of Latin lands, (Ch. 19:21). Before puraolng his plan he decided to visit Jerusalem, carrying with him the collections which had been systematically taken up In the various churches on this tour (Horn. 13:26; I Cor. 16:1-5; Acts 24:17) and he was accompanied by a ' considerable number of pilgrims. (See v. 4.) It Is a good thing to pause occa sionally and to tak> stock, to review our Uvea and to see what progress we have made. This Paul did, and to this Kpheslan delegation he enumerates (1) his character among them (vv. 18-19). They knew his manner of life, how that, as a bond seiVidit, and "with all lowliness of mind," he had served their church. They also knew that with tears he had wept over their hard and Impenitent hearts (v. 31) and all of this amidst mauy testings; (2) his method of work (v. 20). Paul not only worked at his trade of tentmak lng, but found time for the public proclamation of the gospel and -also , house to house visitation. He was j after men. not notoriety. He was al ways qnd ever at It. amidst trials, self denial and the "lying in wait," (Am. R. V.) of men; (3) his methods (v. 21). j He hud the same message for Jew and ] Gentile, "repentance toward God and ] faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ" j Repentance Is not for Jews alone. Paul shrank not from declaring all that was profitable for their encouragement re proof, warning, help, training In serv ice and hard study. He had taught them publicly In classes, and had vis ited them from house to house and had Invited them to his own home. Paul's aim, as Is the teacher's aim, was to make all people patriotic citizens of the kingdom of heaven while on earth, that they might fight the good fight of fultb against all evils, even the prin cipalities and powers of evil, and build up the heavenly character In all men by overcoming evil with good; (4) his prospects (vv. 22-24). Constrained In spirit, under an obligation, though not outwardly bound. Paul knew and felt himself as one bound by conscience and duty to go on his way to Jerusalem In order to carry out his plan of a united, federated church of Jews and Gentiles. tie counted not nls lire as dear nnto j himself If so be he might hold out until the end and accomplish his course and ministry. This epoch-mak ing Journey, one of the greatest In his tory, suggests In many points our Savior's last Journey towards that same city (Luke 9:51). Like his mas ter, Paul knew that ahead of him were trials, but be also knew that God was leading him In obedience to the Spir it's guidance, though it was over the protests of his friends. He was to have the unique experi ence of visiting the land he so longed and desired to visit?Rome?not at his own expense but at the expense 1 of the empire, and In a manner which gave him an entree Into the courts of I the emperor, also to testify to the truth before governors and rulers along that Journey. II. A Great Charge (vv. 28-38). It is a great experience when one can de clare himself pure from the blood of all men (?. 28). and that he has not shrunk from declaring the whole coun sel of God. Snch conduct always brings an obligation upon those who know and hear such men. vis., that It should be emulated. These elders were to return to the church at Bphe sus, not to be servants of themselves but to feed the church of God (v. 28). Paul knew, as a prophet, what would be In store for them (vv. 29-30). There fore he exhorts them to watch, and warns them how by his own hands he had supported himself and had lived a righteous life among them (v. 84). He commends them (v. 81) "to God and to the Word of his grace which Is able to bnlld them up and to give them an Inheritance among all them Which are sanctified" (John 17:17). It was not stubbornness on Paul's part which led him to go to Jerusalem. He was bound In the spirit, and that same spirit which was leading him would also remove the obstacles and abide with these elders as they went back to fhelr ministry In Rphesus, and help them to live Uvea of service and not Of covetousness (vv. 38-34). He had shown them all things needful, and ex horts them In a marvelous way (v. 88). We have here rescued from oblivion a new saying of our Lord Jeaus Christ, "It Is more blessed to give than to receive," one not found In the gos pels. r It la this giving which produces a higher quality of happiness and a more nobis character.
