| A Lesson
| For the Week
Rx William T. Ellis

Paul and Barnabas brought TO the
council a wonderful store of good
news concerning the triumphs Of
the Gospel among the gentiles.
Their testimony made clear that
the message had the same effect
upon uncircumcised Greeks as upon
Jewish converts. Beyond question,
the Spirit made no distinction among
believers. ;
When the Jerusalem leaders heard
the evidence, they decided for lib
erty. They were big men who led
the apostolic church. Their leader
was James, the brother Of Jesus,
who had not believed in the Messiah
until the resurrection.
So the Jerusalem leaders wrote to
Antioch. The new disciples there
were counseled to abstain from prac-
tices that associated them with
idolatry, and from immortality. They
were not to be in bondage to ritual,
but to live in the freedom of the
spirit.
Having been officially delivered
from the bondage of circumcism
and all that it implied, the gentle
Christians were given the great word
of spiritual freedom. Henceforth
they were to be ruled by the Spirit
and not by law.
In his letter to the Galatians,
Paul showed the practical outwork-
ings of spiritual liberty and insight.
For the whole law" he wrote. "is
fulfilled in one word. even in this !:
Thou salt love thy neighbor as thy
self" Again he wrote. Walk by the
spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the
lusts of the flesh" This is the
higher law of the Christian life.
To those first century Christians
the spirit meant more than He does
to us. Is it too strong a statement
to say that the modern church has
neglected the Holy Spirit? We
seldom hear sermons upon His Office
His all-important part in changing
our times is seldom mentioned. Con-
ferences are opened and closed with
out the slightest recognition of His
Iall-potent influence.
Yet without this omnipotent Spirit
we shall have neither changed lives
Ior a new world.
