I i Lesson for December 27 THE SPREAD OF CHRISTIANITY IN SOUTHERN EUROPE LESSON TEXT?Hebrews 2:1-4; 11:32? 12:2. GOLDEN TEXT?The kingdoms of this ' world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15. PRIMARY TOPIC?Christmas Round the World. JUNIOR TOPIC?Into AU the World. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC? j Why the Gospel Spread So Hapidly j, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC? The Spread cf the Gospel in Southern Europe. History has marveled at the spread of the Christian faith in a wicked and hostile world. Dark were the days upon the earth when i I the handful of believers in Jesus I Christ set out to preach the gospel, j j Why did the Christian faith spread j so rapidly and build so soundly j the future? The answer is found in , our lesson for today. It is three-1 fold. They declared I. A Great Salvation (2:1-4). The preaching of the apostles set j an example ot sound teaching. They | knew that no "programs" or "drives" would suffice to meet the j need of the world steeped in sin j and superstition. They preached a I great salvat'on, a real gospel, and j | God set lits seal of approval upon , i tlicir work. 1 The presentation of God's Word ' j and Ills gospel in the power of the | ! Holy Spirit is still the way of vie- | j torious usefulness for any believer | and any church. Turning now to the great faithj I chapter of Hebrews, we see the scc] ond reason for the spread of Chris-! | lianity. Bible preaching brought I ] forth Bible believers ? men and j women who obtained "a good report j through faith." II. A Victorious Faith (11:32-40). i Right presentation and proper ap- j prehension of God's Word produces noble and sacrificial living. The world is "not worthy" of its heroes of faith. In fact, it not only fails to recognize them and their mighty deeds but mocks, scourges, tortures, and saws them asunder. But they are written down in God's book of remembrance. He rightly evaluates their faith and their nobility of character. We need to learn of God how to regard our fellow men lest we follow the crowd in giving praise to those who merit it not, and fail to recognize the unsung heroes of faith in our own communities and : churches who are the very salt of j the earth. The final section of our lesson follows the first two in perfect sequence of thought. We have noted the apostolic message concerning God's great salvation. We have ' seen that the gospel is indeed the j power of God which not only saves j but which produces heroic living. | Now we turn to our obligation to i kuiiuuuu uiiii {ji'jn'jus succession or ' those who live by faith. in. A Race to Run (12:1-2). The picture in the writer's mind is the great Olympic arena. All around are the spectators. A race is to be run. What a striking picture of Christian life. For it, too, is a race. It has a prize, both here and in the hereafter. It calls for intense activity. It brings us before those who either jeer at us or cheer us on our way. Many are the things which may hinder a runner. One thing he cannot do is carry weights. These may not be sinful things but those which may be a hindrance to spiritual progress. Let us put them away! And then there is sin?that treacherous enemy that so subtly "besets us" and entangles us. By God's grace let us cast it aside. Greater than all the hindrances is the One in whose name we run and to whom we look for victory. Looking past the difficulties, the spectators, and even the course itself, we see him who is "the author and perfecter of our faith." The secret of victory is to TUrn youi _ves upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. Firm Foundation If there be a man on earth to be envied it is he who, amidst the sharpest assaults from his own passions, from fortune, from society, never falters in his allegiance to God and the inward monitor. Pride and Ingratitude Pride is of such intimate connection with ingratitude that the actions of ingratitude seem directly re-1 solvable into pride as the principal rpaenn nf t>?m Truth in Little Things I have seldom seen anyone who deserted Truth in trifles, that could , be trusted in matters of importance.?William Paley.
