Gene Land Second Baptist Church In the tenth chapter of His Gospel, Matthew records an incident in the life and teachings of our Lord. It was the early part of His public ministry and He called together His disciples, com- missioned them, empowered them, blessed them and told them, “As you go, preach, saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand—freely you have received, freely give.” This sending of twelve Jews to preach to other Jews was for that time and place but Chris- tians of this day and time also have a commission, an em- powering and a command to ‘“‘pass it on.” This command to every Christian is recorded in Matthew 28:18-20 and in John 20:19-23. Looking par- ticularly at John 20:19-23, we can see several instructive facts. There will be problems as we attempt to “pass it on.” This is brought out in verse nineteen, where it says the doors where they were gathered were shut because of fear of the Jews. Their master had been slain and, fearing that they were next on the list, they hid themselves. Many Christians today are behind the closed doors of fear—fear of ridicule, fear of others opi- nions, fear of personal inade- quacy. We are a timid church in a tortured world. The worst thing happening today is not the wolfishness of the devils crowd but it is the sheepishness of God’s sheep. Our Lord found the world hostile and unfriendly. Herod hated Him—other enemies ridiculed, persecuted and plotted against Him—religious leaders seiz- ed Him, a mob demanded His death—He was beaten, crowned with thorns and died in the horror of a bloody and brutal crucifixion. The world hasn’t changed in it’s basic attitude of rejection of Him. "The world will accept an im- itation christianity that makes no demands and doesn’t condemn sin in the light of the cross—but the preaching of the cross is still foolish to them that perish and real Christians will be looked upon with scorn and ridicule and preachers of the cross are considered fools. If you think this age is favorable disposed to the Gospel and that Christs’ way is acceptable then you don’t know your Bible and this generation. Men are still will- ing to crown Him King if He feeds them with loaves and fishes, but are not willing to go with a suffering Saviour the way of the cross. There are more Christians than ever since it adds to ones public status and sounds good in ones obituary, but let a man take Christ seriously in his own life and demand that others do the same and he will find that the world he thought was peopled with’ sheep is a den of wolves. But, thank God, when the hour was the darkest and the fear was the thickest, Jesus came on the scene. He did these and He still does to those who are eager and will- ing to serve Him. Jesus makes the difference, He did then and He does now. Some things happened in that clos- ed room that sent those disciples out to preach the Gospel and change the world. It may still happen if we are willing. First He spoke peace to them, (V. 19) No one is ready to go into a turbulent world as a witness of God’s salvation until and unless that salva- tion has brought peace to his own soul. The peace that God’s Gospel offers is two- fold, the peach of God and peace with God. The first we get as we trust Him as Saviour and the second is ours as we trust Him con- tinually. This is part of His legacy to us and we are to—PASS IT ON!!! Then, He showed them His | scars. (V. 20) He can’t send us into the world until we are identified with Him in crucifixion—Paul said, ‘I am crucified with Christ.” To be crucified means several things. The man hanging on a cross is looking in only one direction, there is no looking back and to be crucified with Christ means you're looking only in God’s direction. To be crucified means you are not going back to the former life. you have bid farewell to the old life and it’s ways. And, Turn To Page 11-C - Need REAL ESTATE?
