He is the only true center fof t Hla
church, the heavenly center. :.iutthere
ait? mauy earxniy centers, ana 'at 'the
time of 'our "lesson .Tthere vrer two
great centers. Jerusalem-and Antioch,
supposed to, be In pert ecf "accord. At
the former the apostles still lived, not
haying been scattered . abroad,, while
the latter" became the missionary cen
ter from which Paul and the others
set forth on their missionary tours
The apostles at Jerusalem , were sup
posed to have the truth on all matters
concerning the church, as thev hnd
personally known and been intimate
with tnat Lord.
Since the -days of Cain there have
always been false teachers, perverting
uie truin, homing down the truth
and teaching everythins but th trnth
for various reasons for self exaltation,
to please, men, for money, etc. but
sometimes Diinaiy rancylng that they
were indeed standing for the truth.
The following passages show them up
quite tuny: Isa. xxix, , 13; tttt g.12;
jer. rxm, 21, 26: Ezek. xxxiv. l. 2!
Acts xx, 29, 30; II Tim. iv, 3, 4; II Pet
11. 1-3; Jude 4, 1L The false teachers
of our lesson Insisted that no one conld
be saved unless they were circumcised
according to the 'law of Moses, thus
A . . . - '
leaenmg tnai; the finished work of
Christ was really not finished or not
$umeient in itself for salvation, but
needed some goodness or obedience on
the part of the believer to supplement
it. Xhese teachers were believers of
some sort (verse 5), but did not under
stand the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ (verse 11) nor the forgiveness
of sin through His blood alone. They
aia not seem to know that Abraham
was saved before he was circumcised
ana that circumcision was a seal of
the righteousness Which -Jie already
naa Dy raith (Rom. iv. 9-llh
i rni. . .
Deneye that by virtue of the atonement
or the Lord Jesus He is made unto all
who receive Him wisdom, righteous
ness, sanctlfication and redemDtion
(l Cor. L 30 that by the deeds of the
law' no one can be Justified in the
sight of God, but" that Christ is the
end of the law for righteousness - to
every one that belleveth (Rom. ill, 20;
x, 4). Paul and Barnabas stood for
these foundation truths and disputed
with the teachers from Judaea about
them, but" the church at Antioch de
cided to send Paul and3arnabas and
some others to the apostles and elders
at Jerusalem about this question (verse
2). On their way they declared the
conversion of the gentiles as they
had seen on their first tour and thus
caused great joy to all the brethren.
And when they reached' Jerusalem
they told to the church there all things
that God had done with them (verse 4;
compare xiv, 27). It Is indeed worth
while and a soul uplifting theme to
show His wonderful works that He
hath done, to talk of all his wondrous
works, to declare His doings among
the people (Ps. lxxvlli, (4; cv 2; Isa.
xli, 4). All else Is forgotten as thus
we magnify Him and exalt His holy
name. ;
But we must attend the council meet
ing at -Jerusalem, where the aDostles
,and elders and the church have. gath
ered oniclally to consider the matters
about Which the delegates have come
from Antioch. After much talk and
disputing they settle down to business
more quietly, and Peter gives his testi
mony concerning his visit to Caesarea.

they heard the Word of the gospel God
gave them the Holy Ghost -even as He
had to the Jews at Pentecost, . and he
urged- upon the council that there,,

Christ, v Paul and Barnabas then de
clared the . miracles - and wonders God
had wrought v among the gentiles by
them. James then Summed up the
case, a,nd the result is given in thfe
letter of verses 23-29. ' This letter they
,send to "Antioch by Paul and Barna
bas, commending them f for their zeal
even to the laying down of their lives
if necessary, and with them they send
Judas and SUas , to confirm t the con
tents of the letter hv their nersonal
testimony (verses 25, '26, 27). They
condemn, the false teaching and set
aside circumcision and the keeping of
the law as essential to ' salvation: and
they send the letter , as not only from
them, but-trom the uoiy unost (verse
28U, '
