MOSS WALTER. Proprietor Independence, Oregon Tbla lsaon really covert chapters x and xl, Ml, for the whole of that portion la devoted to the record of Peter and Cornellua. It la the atory of the reception of the first ' gentile household Into the new company rai led the church, and Peter la the hu man Instrument In connection with anangellc ministry, a vision and a special message from the Spirit. Aa in the case of Philip and the eunuch. ie see the apeclal Interest of heaven In a truly seeking soul. The last we heard of Philip he was at Cseaarea. for that was hla home aeoiutiiKly (chapter vlll. 40; xxl, 8). and we can not but wonder why he was not used to help Cornelius, but It was neither he uor Paul, the special apostle to the gentiles, but Peter, whom the Lord chose for this service. As Peter was used to gather the first company of Jews, so be la used to gather the first gentile, for to hlin were given by our Lord the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Matt. xvi. 19). We know the church Is not the kinkdoiu, but the present age la the "mystery of the kingdom," and the church must be gathered and this age close before the kingdom can come. Cornelius, the centurion, makes us think of the one who had auch great faith and also the one who said at the crucifixion, "Truly this was the aon of God" (Matt, vlll, 510; xxylt, 54). If any man could be saved by charac ter, as we hear on all sides today, surely this man could, for consider what Is said of him in versea JL 7, 22. 30. 31. and yet Peter has to oome and tell him words whereby he J and his household could be saved (xl, 1.) tie had to tell him of the death and res urrection of Jesus of Nazareth and of foregiveness of sins through Him. If man's own doings can save him, then there was no necessity for the sufferings of Jesus Christ as the sinners' substitute, but without the iheddlne of blood there is no remis sion of sins, and there is no sacrifice but His by which sinners can be sav ed (Heb. lx 22; Lev. xvil. 11; Heb. 1, 3; Acts Iv, 12). Cornelius was truly a devout man and lived up to the light he had, and to such God has re spect and will somehow send them more light, even though he must needs employ angelic ministry. One afternoon as he was fasting and praying a visitor unannounced stood before him clad in heavenly clothing and assured him that his prayer was heard and his alms re membered before God and that a man In Joppa for whom he should send would tell him what he needed to know (verses 3 to 6 and 30 to 3). Im mediately he sent two of his servants and a soldier to find Peter. Notice in this connection that the Lord in heaven knows where we sojourn, who owns the house, the owners occupa tion and all other details of our life, for all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. The servants being on the road Peter needed to be prepared to re ceive them, for he still considered It unlawful to come into or keep com pany with one of another nation (verse 28). See, then, how God pre nared him. He was very hungry and would have eaten if anything had been ready, but while they made read for him he fell into a trance. Many a housewife would be glad oftttmes if some of the hungry would do like wise. Note carefully the vision in verses 11-16 and see, if you have an ointed eyes, the church gathered from Jews and gentiles. We are all unclean, but the church must be gathered from such (I Cor. vl, 9-11). As the sheet was let down from heaven, all must be born from above. The sheet was held in heaven. We are kept by the power of God and in due time shall be as a church caught up to heaven. The fine linen suggested by the sheet speaks always of righteousness His, not ours, but ours in Him. In the seven passages where we read of "heaven opened" it Is always to reveal something concern ing Christ and His redeemed. While Peter considered the meaning of the vision the men from Caesarea were at the door inquiring for him, and, th Spirit having said, "Behold, three men seek thee; arise, therefore, and get thee down and go with them, doubt ing nothing, for I have sent them" (verses 19, 20), all was clear and plain for Peter. Having lodged the strangers over night, oa the morrow Peter and six ol started, for Caeearea. Cornelius bad called to.rathcr hli aloanwa and sear frlnd and awaited the arrival of Pe ter. Having received htm all too rev ereutly and told htm all, he added. "Now, therefore, are we all here pres ent before God to bear all things that are eomwanded thee of Uod" I). What a perfect attitude for a congregation to be In, and how thw Lord would work if It i always so! Peter began to tell of Jesus of Nea reth, Ills life and death and resurroc by the forglvenesa of sins, and that al tlon, and of peace through his blood the prophets had borne wlilnese to Him, and while he was speaking the Holy Ghost fell on all who beard, and they apoke with tongues and niKl fled God. Then Peter baplUed them and received them Into the visible church. .Mi i Hll'iC lit!
