SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON I "BREAKTHROUGH IN MACEDONIA" Ami*A-n Our text is taken this week from the experiences of Paul's secoed missionary journey. He has revisited some of the chinches that be had planted in Asia Minor and has a heart felt compassion for the folks in the western direction from him, namely in the Roman provinces at Asia. He and his party are forbidden right then from entering this new field. Luke arrives and almost simultaneously, Paul gets s word from God to proceed into Macedonia (v 10). The fact that Paul's vision of the man of Macedonia calling for the gospel to be preached there comes just as Luke arrives, gives the im pression that the Holy Spirit wanted Luke to be along with Paul as he entered Macedonia and Philippi. Since there is so much specific information about Philippi, it is believed by some that Luke may have been from here. Plus, Philippi was a medical center of sorts which makes us feel Luke had prior knowledge of the city. It was a Roman "colony." ? meaning that living in PhiHppi ?? like living in Rome as to freedoms and privileges of citizens. The city was located on an important travel route, which made it poest>le that many travelers could be af fected by the gospel while passing through. The first Sabbath day that came, Paul found the place of prayer where the Jews of that city met. The htct that he knew where to gomakes us feel that Luke knew right where it was. Of course, the Jews who lived in these Roman cities at times were few in number and may not have had enough families there to build a synagogue. They required 10 families to have a synogogue. The Jew ish custom was to meet for prayer near the water, as they did in Babylon in Psalm 137. Going there, Paul met and led his first Euopean convert to Jesus. She was a lady named Lydia from another city. Her life was that of a business woman and likely was well-to do. She sold expensive cloth. She was not a Jew but was a worshipper of the true God. havu been a mixed religion in her city between p^anisa PWi&y^MMlre* nfefag'tf good religion with pagan. When she bears the gospel of the Lord Jesui, she believes *?d her household. She then becomes s source of hospitali ty end livlihood for Paul and hU party, although perhaps PauJ ? reluctant to be over hearing. Sh^ "constrained" them. ? One day as they were going to that prayer meeting place. Paul ran across a demon-pos sessed giri. She kept follow ing Paul and kept crying aloud to him, recognizing bim as a man of God. The demons quite frequently did this to Jesus, especially in Mmfc. Her deipon thought to have been the Python, snake spirit who guarded the sacred place of one of the Greek deities where sacred words were spoken by that Greek god. Thus, her demon spirit could prophesy or tell fortunes. Several men in that city had bought her as a slave and were using her for profit. Paul became very annoyed with her contiuous calls out and really saw them as cries for help and healing. For the first time in the book of Acts, a demon is cast out. Notice that the same formula for healing of demon possession is used as for healing other diseases Paul calls her healed as he commanded the demon to come out of her in "the name of Jesus." Thus the Philippian minis try begins and Paul's miseries begin. This test teaches us about Paul's dependence upon the Holy Spirit's leader ship in his work. It also reveals God's pleasure in using godly women in His church. It shows Paul's pat tern of finding that communi ty of godfearers in a city where he usually begins his preaching and teaching con cerning Jesus as the Lord and Christ for men. Finally, it demonstrates that God bles sed his work through signs and miracles. The work in Macedonia opens successfully catch of the year.^^/7 J fishermens' needs/, ? W?
