International Sunday School Lesson
for March 31, 1940
GOLDEN TEXT: “Ye shall
be witnesses . . . unto the utter
most parts of the earth.” —
Acts 1:8.
(Lesson 'Text: Matthew 28:16-20.)
It is peculiarly fitting that the
six months’ series of lessons based
on the Gospel of Matthew should
end with the lesson we have this
week. It is the climatic 'lesson of
the entire series—a challenge to
those who have studied the life of
Jesus to do something about it to
answer the great commission by put
ting the teaching and example of
Jesus to work in our lives.
The eleven disciples (Judas now
being dead) and probably about five
hundred others (as referred to by
Paul in I Corinthians 15:6) gathered
on a certain mountain in Galilee,
probably three or four weeks after
the resurrection, at the place and
probably at the time specified by
Jesus when he told the two Marys
who were at the tomb to tell his dis
ciples to meet him in Galilee.
There on the mountain-top, Jesus
gave to the waiting apostles and the
other believers gathered there their
orders as to their course of action
in the future. In the beginning he
affirmed his sovereignty. “All pow
er is given unto me in heaven and in
earth.” During his ministry, he had
shown his authority over disease,
demons, and even death itself. He
had proved his authority over the
forces of nature; he had proved his
authority to forgive sin and, now,
after his resurrection, he asserts the
authority which he has both in heav
en and in earth.
Then, in the words of Dr. H. C-
Moore: “The Master sketched four
features for his world-wide and age
long program. The first was en
lightenment. ‘Go, ye therefore’ and
let your light shine in every part oi
the world. The second is evangel
ism. ‘Make disciples of all the na
tions’ not only informing every crea
ture about Christ but leading every
body to Christ and to acceptance of
him as Saviour from sin to a good
life here and the life unending here
after.
“The third is enlistment. Those
who are evangelized must be united
in the work and worship of the Lord.
Hence the importance of ‘baptizing
them in the name of the Father,
and of the '< Son, and of the Holy
Ghost \
“The fourth is edification. Having
informed about Christ and led to

Christ and enlisted for Christ, it is
our duty to build up in Christ. Hence
the long and invaluable course of
training in the knowledge of Christ
and obedience to his holy will:
‘Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you’.”
Then the Master gives the glorious
promise: “And lo (remember). I am
with you always, even unto the end
of the world.” The task of winning
the lost to Christ would be too great
for the average Christian, would be
well-nigh impossible, were it not for
the glorious promise that he will be
with us always, strengthening, com
forting and caring for his own.
The most outstanding feature of
modern Christianity, to our mind, is
the great mass of believers who have
no active urge to personal evangel
istic work. Churches, as units, are
more active than ever in missionary
enterprise, but, of the individual
membership, how few are proclaim
ing Christ to those with whom daily
contact is made? How few fully
realize they are ‘ambassadors on be
half of Christ” to every unsaved
man and woman. Church members,
professing to believe that eternal life
rests upon acceptance of Jesus, often
neglect or are too timid to approach
even their own loved ones! If every
Christian had a burning reality of
this truth, would any be content to
pass unbelieving souls daily with no
effort to tell them of the life-insur
ing message?
Christianity needs the individual
evangelism of every follower. Un
believers and formal acceptants
must be reached and saved one by
' one—the world will not be won in
bulk! Nineteen times we have a
record of the Saviour himself enter
ing into personal discussions with
hnly one human being for an au
dience. It has been pointed out by
one writer that every soul could be
saved in two years if etery profess
ing Christian reached and converted
one unbeliever each year. The need
for individual evangelistic work is
greater than it ever has been and the
responsibility for unsaved millions
rests on inactive Christians.
