LESSON NOTES.
26. "Brethren:" Expressing his kind
ly sympathy and interest children
of the stock of Abraham" True Jews,
and inheritors of the promises, as was
Paul himself. "And those. mot Jews)
''that fear Cod" The Jews had not
been wholly wanting in missionary
work and in success. ITO you," who In
herit the promises, who hold to the
Scriptures which portray the Messiah,
sis the word of this salvation sent"
81. "For:" This is the salvation, for
the Saviour suffered as shall describe.
because they knew him not" Did not
realize who he was. They crucified
Jesus as a criminal and not as their
Messiah. Nor the voices Of the
prophets:'' There is not one of the
prophets without some distinct refer
ence to Christ except Nahum, Jonah and
Habakkuls. (Which are read every
Sabbath" It is quite possible to read
the Scriptures and not understand their
bearing on present duty. Fulfilled
them" Especially those which speak
of the Messiah as suffering, and the
sacrifices which pointed to his atone
ment.
2s. Found no cause of death in Him"
He was innocent, or he could not have
been the Messiah.
27,."' "'The tree:'' The cross made of
wood. -'a--.s.. -,
80. ''But God raised Him from the
dead" Proving that He conquered
death, and was still living to be Che
King.
81. ''Was seen for many days." On
ten or eleven different occasions during
forty days He was seen, touched and
talked with. Of this many witnesses
were living to testify to this essential
fact. Paul himself had seen and heard
Him, and knew He was alive.
32 "The promise made unto the IA
thers:" AL that had been foretold con-
cerning the Messiah, in every form.
This promise was the joy and hope of
the nation. They had long waited for
its fulfill,nent. God hath fulfilled +. {.
in that He raised up Jesus" Not from
the dead, which is referred to in verse S4.
But God brought Him to this world,
raised Him up into the work of the
Messiah.
80. "As it is written in the second
Psalm" Yer. T. Paul sustains his posi-
tion by the Scriptures. '"Thou art Ny
Son, this day have / begotten Thee"
This refers to the fact that God was the
real father of Jesus.
"a. "As concerning that He raised
Him up from the dead:" A dead per-
son could not be the everlasting Saviour
and King Of men. The victory over
death, the greatest of enemies, was the
proof and first fruits of His power "He
hath spoken:' That is, God hath
spoken. 81 will give you the holy and
sure blessings Of David" This quota
ton slightly varies from the words,
but fully expresses the sense of the
original Elsa. $3.50.
35. "In another Psalm:" C. 1910. On
the day of Pentecost Peter quoted the
same passage more fully, applying it in
the same way (Chap. 2:25-s1). Thou
wilt not give thy Holy One to see cor
ruption:" Paul argues that since David
did see corruption the words must ap-
ply to "David's greater Son." Jesus,
who passed through the tomb without
decay, and still lives.
ss. Through this man is proclaimed
unto You remission of SINS That is,
the forgiveness and the actual removal
OF sins II implies new heart, from
which sin Is sent away. Jesus an
nounced to men redemption from sin.
50. Everyone that believeth:" Who
accepts OF Jesus as their Saviour, be-
lieving in Him as a messenger from
God, and trusting Him as Lord as well
as Saviour. ''Is justified" Not made
righteous. but accounted righteous;
