For Your Information
Dear friends,
The Rev. Edgar N. Jackson, a grief
psychologist, states: The funeral is
for the bereaved, not the dead. It is
essential :o confront fully the reality
of death; the body in the casket com
pels this. The bereaved must be en
couraged to express their emotion
? their grief. The rituals of grief,
maintained by the church, are a "kind
of community social insurance'.
Respectfully,
WE ARE NOW

Sunday school lesson
THE CHURCH AND THE STATE
In order that he might be received graciously by the
brethren, it was suggested to Paul that, because of the
many Jews who stillheld some parts of the ceremonial
law even though they had believed on Christ as their
Saviour, it would be wise for the Apostle to take a
Jewish vow as proof of the fact that he still honored the
law and was not opposed to it. Since this was simply an
effort to eliminate prejudice and not to compromise a
principle, Paul took upon himself a vow which made
necessary his appearance in the temple for seven days.
The Riot -Acts 21: 27-31
Paul's presence in the temple in fulfillment of his vow
aroused the Jews and led to the riot which occurred.
Just before the seven days were completed, some of the
Asiatic Jews recognized Paul, and they immediately
resolved to persecute him, even unto death. These Jews
accused him of teaching against the people of Israel,
defaming the law, and defiling the temple. Their reason
for the charge of defiling the temple was that they
"supposed" Paul had taken Trophimus into the inner
court of the temple where a Gentile was not permitted
to enter except under the penalty of death. Blinded by
prejudice and boiling with hatred against the Apostle,
they aroused the crowd against him and seized him with
the intention of seeing to it that he was put to death. The
crowd was stirred to such a pitch of fanatical frenzy
that they came dangerously near to the murder of Pajil.
Religious fanaticism is exceedingly dangerous both to
the guilty and the innocent. As soon as the enraged and
unbelieving Jews had seized Paul and dragged him
from the mner court of the temple the doors were
closed. They fully intended to slay Paul.
The Rescue ? Acts 21 : 32-36
The mob did not dare to stone Paul within the city,
lest it be polluted, but its constituents fully intended to
put Paul to death by beating him unmercifully. Since
Jerusalem was always in danger of a riot, something
like this one, the Roman government maintained a
military force of a thousand soldiers under a chief cap
tain there. In connection with the temple buildings was
"the fortress of Antonio," which was occupied by this
chief captian and part of his men. Although the mob had
Paul in their hands, and though they could do with him
what they pleased, they were mistaken. His life was not
in their hands, but in the care of God, Who saw to it that
the news of the riot reached the ears of the chief cap
tian, where upon he had a number of his troops rushed
down the stairs in order to quell the mob.
When the captain and his soldiers appeared on the
scene, the enraged mob ceased beating Paul. When the
chief captain inquired as to what was the cause of the
uproar, the participants were so confused that they
could not give a sensible reason for their fury. Never
theless, they were eager to take Paul's life. At the same
time, these cowardly men were ready to flee as soon as
they realized that they might be in danger. Unable to
get the desired information from the howling rabble,
the captain ordered his men to take Paul into the for
tress or castle, in order that he might examine him and
ascertain the truth.
The Result -Acts 25:11-12
While Festus, the new procurator, was visiting his
subjects in Jerusalem, the Jewish leaders sought to pre
judice him against Paul. After presenting their accusa
tions against the Apostle, they requested Festus to
return him to Jerusalem, intending to kill him before he
arrived in the city. Festus denied their request but told
them that they could send their leaders to Caesarea and
charge Paul with whatever crime he had committed.
Later, the Jewish delegation appeared before Festus in
Caesarea and presented a variety of grave charges
against Paul, the most grievous of which was heresy,
sacrilege, and treason.
Desirous of winning the favor of the Jews, Festus
asked Paul if he would like to be tried before him in
Jerusalem whereupon Paul preferred to trust his case
to pagan Romans rather than a religious Jew. His ap
peal prolonged his imprisonment, but it opened to Paul
numerous opportunities to witness for his Lord that
otherwise he would not have had.
