Inc Meeting in Galilcc.-This WAS
the designated meeting referred i'm
the seventh verse of this same chm
ter IL was formal meeting. Tbcn
were there gathered together the
eleven apostles. But there * reason
10 believe that these were not all
Paul says Il Cor. 1850 that "He was
seen or above 500 brethren AT once -
rms was probably that occasion. Be-
sues the apostles there were MANY
there or Jesus disciples. This cx-
pianatlon would account for the for
manly of appointing a meeting i'm so
retired n place as mountain and Mt
so great distance from the scene
OF the trinl and crucifixion.
SOME Worship, Some Doubt-Wben
the company had all gathered .Ics,s
made His appearance. and "thev wor-
sh'ped blm' that is, the great ma
lorlty ana. but some doubted:"
inns rs not some of the eleven MS tho
reading OF the text might lead one 10
think We have seen i'm previous les.
sons that they all believed. Twice
Jesus had met with them, once with.
out Thomas, and once with that dis.
ciple who would not believe until ne
saw the print OF the nails. But even
Thomas believed. SO il must have
been some Of the other disciples.
The Source Of Power.-Undoubte
ly we have here recorded ONLY part
or all Jesus said 10 this company OF
followers. but We have the pist OF
the discourse. I'm the first place He
pointed out that into His hands had
been put all power, both i'm Heaven.
and in earth. This Is equivalent To
saying He was God. or one with God.
which Of course it was one great OBJ
iect OF the crucifixion and rcsurrec-
ton to show. If then all power is
His, He has become the source OF MI
power. This gives authority to all
His previous teachings and to His
present commission 10 preach aid
baptizr.
The Commissioner commission
was twofold. First. il was TO teach.
Second, it was 70 bnptize. The ban
tism was 10 be sin the name of tkc
Father, and Of The Son, and OF the
Holy Oh ,st." The rather the jews
had long worshiped. The Son had
come the more perfectly 10 reveal
the Father. The Holy Spirit was He
who should testify to the hearts and
minds Of His followers after He had
assembled TO the Father.
The disciples were TO teach "alI
nations" The Jewish religion had
been exclusive. Church and state
were one in more absolute wav
than ever they were under Christian
sway. To be n recognized JchovaI
worship the i"ntilc had 10 become
jew. The new religion, faith in
Jesus Christ, was 20 know no nation
atty and no race. God loved human
kind and Christ came 70 redeem the
whole world from tho sway Of sin.
All the commandments Of Jesus to
His disciples were 10 he binding upon
every subsequent follower.
The Promise. with the great
commission was coupled very com
fortin0 promise: And. 10. am with
YOU Away. even unto the end Of tho
world" The Divine assurance Of Df-
vine help under all circumsiances is
ours II we are doing the will OF God.
