GOLDEN TEXT—The um e Lord over au Is rich unto all that oaU upon Him.—Romans •10:13. Fellowship is impossible where there is prejudice and intolerance. The world is full of It even now, after we have fought a global war to stop such inhumanity of man to man. , It would be a surprise even to some Christian people to learn that "God is no respecter o f persons,” that with Him a man is not re­ ceived because he is of a particular race, color, education or social posl- tion. . ,, God created all men, He loves all men, Christ died for all men, and every Christian' ought to be desper- ately concerned that all men should hear about their Saviour and come to know the love of God. The church of Christ has its greatest opportunity now to show that..the things it. professes to be­ lieve actually work in the relation- ship of man to man. They will work if we .will only let them I Our les­ son presents: . I, Principle—God Is No Respecter of Persons (w . 34, 35).' Peter had learned about God’s love for the Gentiles by the vision given him concerning Cornelius. ' (Head Acts 10:1-33.) Peter was a Jew, and God now used this vision to teach him a much needed lesson about the carrying of the gospel to the Gentiles. The Jews were (and still-are—let us remem­ ber it) God’s chosen people. How­ ever, they were not chosen for their, own comfort, convenience or glory, but that they might be channels' for the outflowing of God’s blessing to all nations.. > Cornelius .was typical of those in every nation who are ready for the preaching o f the gospel. H e was a God-fearing, righteous man, but' nonetheless in need of redemption. God brought this man, who Was ready to receive the message, to­ gether with the man Peter, who. was prepared to preach it, and the result was salvation. Whatever it may be that keeps us from carrying the gospel to all nR- tions, we ought to recognize as un­ christian, and put it aside. It may be race prejudice, for it still per­ sists; but it rriay be an equally dead­ ly indifference to the needs of oth­ ers. Let us, like Peter, go to them and ppen our mouths (v. 34) to pro­ claim Christ. II. Practice—Jesus Did Good to All- (vv. 36-41). The attributes of God are always active. He not only is good, He does good. So the principle, "no respecter - of persons,” is perfectly exemplified in our Lord Jesus who “ went about doing good and- Healing all that were oppressed of the devil,’ 1and we may well place the emphasis on the word . -“ all.” ., The death of Christ for their sins (v . 39), His resurrectipn from, the dead for their justification (V. 40), the. coming judgment for sin ( v. 42), and the remission of sins in His name— these are the essentials of Peter’s message. Note how plain is the truth. Jesus has come and has wrought redemp­ tion for all who will believe. Now* we must choose whether we want Him to be our Judge or our Redeemer. Either He is your Saviour, or He will he your judge. (John 3:17, 18.) The proclamation of this message _o f redemption was never completed, even “ while Peter yet spajce these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon them all” (V. 44). Blessed interruption! Would that we might have mere like it in our churches and Bible schools! This leads up to our last point, namely, that we have a III. Privilege—We A re to Preach to A ll People ( w . 42, 43). Yes, It is a command (Matt, 28: 19, 20), but it is also an unestimable privilege to be called of God to tell all nations about the One in whom they have "remission of sins.” Let us preach that message. Book reviews, political addresses, discus­ sion of civic or social problems will not bring the result. Forums, clubs, discussion groups, unless they have for their subject the Word of God, need not expect anything like this to happen. Preaching of the Word of God con­ cerning the person and wofk of Christ, whether it be in a home (like that of Cornelius) or in a great cathedral (and thank God, some of them do have such preaching), will result in some soul finding Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit. It is worthy of note that these be­ lievers gave evidence of their new­ found spiritual life by magnifying God, obeying His word, and testify­ ing to others. It is to the credit of Peter and his companions that they recognized the workings of God’s grace in the lives Of these Gentiles. May we also be quick to see, ap­ preciate and encourage every trtie gospel work, whether it be among our own people or with some other ' race, whether in our church or in some humble cottags, "God is QQ respecter of persons.” FRYERS FOR SALE four pound.
