B u «che, ••Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of Christ,” is Paul’s way of de scribing himself as he preaches to Jew and Gentile. Paul Thinks in World Terms “BRASS TACKS” ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Che <solMte!i Cmcl '''' ''' '' “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.”-—Romans 1:16. (The International Uniform Les son on the above topic for May 28 is Romans 1:1-17, 3:21-30; 5:1-11; 10:11-15, the Golden Text being Ro mans 1:16—“I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.”) By NEWMAN CAMPBELL “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated un to the Gospel of God.” So Paul de scribed himself in a letter to the Christians in Rome, a city he was hoping soon to visit. He wanted, he told them, to go to Rome, “for I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established. “That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith botii of yon and me.” He wanted to see the church in Rome well settled, and also the com fort of knowing that he had friends to whom he could pour out his heart, who would understipid his work and his many- ijai'd'and lonely ences. For Paul must have had many disheartening moments when, he felt Christ was far from him and didn’t cqi*e, and that he was practically alone in a hostile world which couldn’t or wouldn’t accept the mes sage, and which wanted to put him in prison or to death. People’s feelings were no different in those days than they are today. They suffered from loneliness and fear, even those strong men like Paul and the other disciples, who were firm in their faith. And it was hard, too. for Paul, who had held an authoritative position in Jerusalem when he was persecuting the Chris tians, to be tiie persecuted one. He surely was “called to be an apostle.” and was “separated” from those with whom he formerly associated by his acceptance of the Gospel of Christ. Paul was an inveterate letter writ er. His letters to the Christian churches constitute several books of the New Testament. Even when he was in prison he wrote to the mem bers of the various churches, giving them advice and encouragement. Always he wrote of the Gospel message which was for the Jews and Gentiles alike. “Is He the God of the Jews only?” he asks. “Is He not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also.” Os his hardships and those who professed the faith, he says, “We glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience, and patience, experience; and exper ience, hope.” And that gospel, too, will work today, when those who suffer may achieve the virtue of pa tience, and through patience, gain ex perience; and through experience, hope. Later in this series of letters to the Romans, Paul tells of his mission to preach the Gospel. For “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” he says. But how can they call upon Him if they have not heard about Him? Only through preaching, he answers himself. And the preachers\ must be sent to spread the Gospel. And “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” Paul tells those to whom he preaches of the Christ who was crucified and is now risen from the dead. Gospel of peace, and bring glad tid ings of good things!” I think we cannot ao better than to memorize the last Bible reference given us for the week, which is Mat thew 11:28-30: “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you. rest. “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and low ly in heart: and ye shall find rest Odd Facts In Carolina By Cari Spencer j c SHELL.
