1 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 5 And whither I go, ye know the way. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself; but the Father abiding in me doeth his works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask me anything in my name, that will I do.”

NOTES.
1. The instruction Jesus gave to his disciples on that last night before his crucifixion has been the comfort of believers in all ages. He began with, “Let not your heart be troubled,” and the discourse flows on in one channel of love, and ends at last with the word, “Be of good cheer.” We are to be of good cheer while in the world, because he has overcome it, and we are not to be troubled, for he is coming again.
2. “Of what coming again does the Lord here speak?—The same of which he spoke in Matt. 24:30, 31, his glorious return at the last day to ‘gather his elect.’ Acts 1:11. Visibly he departs, visibly will he return; and there he will receive his people to himself into his heavenly kingdom.” The comfort which Jesus offers to the believer is not, “You will soon die and come to me,” but, “I will come again.” “One of the most solemn and yet most glorious truths revealed in the Bible is that of Christ’s second coming, to complete the great work of redemption.” . . . The doctrine of the second advent is the very key-note of the Sacred Scriptures. From the day when the first pair turned their sorrowing steps from Eden, the children of faith have waited the coming of the Promised One to break the destroyer’s power and bring them again to the lost Paradise. . . . About his coming cluster the glories of that “restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” Then the long-continued13rule of evil shall be broken; “the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.” It is then that the peaceful and long-desired kingdom of the Messiah shall be established under the whole heaven.” “The more of heaven we have here below, through the outpouring of the Spirit, the more rapturous become our anticipations of the glory that is to come.”
3. “Jesus says: ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.’ ‘I am that Ladder which Jacob saw, the base of it resting firmly upon the earth, while the topmost round reaches to the throne of God. I am the Light that shines upon every soul who climbs up by me. I am the Life, inspiring with faith and love as you move onward and upward.’ All truth is found in Christ. . . . Only by presenting the truth as it is in Jesus, will our work be effectual in reaching the hearts of men.”
4. “‘I am the Way.’ It is not a cold, dead road we have to make the most of for ourselves, pursuing it often in darkness, in weakness, in fear. It is a living way—a way that renews our strength as we walk in it, that enlivens instead of exhausting us, that gives direction and light as we go forward. . . . Wherever you are, at whatever point of experience, at whatever stage of sin, this way begins where you are, and you have but to take it and it leads to God. . . . From your person, as you are at this moment, there leads a way to the Father.” “Just where the sinner is, in that very quagmire, begins the way. Not a single step heavenward can he take until he depends on Christ.”
5. “In Christ we behold God. . . . In Christ blessing little children; joining in the harmless gaiety of the Cana wedding-feast; mourning over Lazarus; allowing the penitent woman to touch him; showing gentleness, courtesy, consideration, tenderness to everybody,—we have the manifestation of the unseen Jehovah. Such as Christ is, such is God.”
6. “Our Saviour said, ‘Greater works than these shall ye do; because I go unto my Father.’ What are these ‘greater works’? If our lips are touched with the living coal from off the altar, we shall reveal to the world the wonderful love manifested by God in giving Jesus, his only-begotten Son, to the world, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” After the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, the disciples “saw that the prophecies had been literally fulfilled. They could search the Scriptures and accept their teachings with a faith and assurance which they had never known before. The divine Teacher was indeed all that he claimed to be. The prophecies relating to Christ and his mission were no longer a mystery to his disciples, but a living reality; and as they told their experience to the world, as they exalted the love of God, the divine assurance which they manifested was an evidence to men that they had received the gift of the Holy Ghost. Men’s hearts were melted and subdued. The promise, ‘Greater works than these shall ye do; because I go unto my Father,’ was fulfilled.”
Suggestions for Further Study.
1. Just now Christ is preparing a people for the place which he has prepared for them. Are we ready for our place?
2. The third verse brings up the whole question of Christ’s second coming. This opens an almost boundless field for study. Note especially 1 Thess. 4:16 to 5:6.
3. The central thought of heaven is to be with Christ. Why would a sinner be unhappy in heaven?
4. Study verse 10 as revealing the innermost principle of the Christian life: “The Father abiding in me doeth his works.” Revised Version.
5. How is life only in Christ taught in this lesson?

CHURCH SERVICES.
By Editor
This column of church services, especially in our larger towns and cities, will be printed from time to time as we have room, for the benefit of strangers who may read the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, or brethren passing through. We have found it necessary to condense in the smallest possible space. The word “Sabbath” always refers to the seventh day of the week. These services consist of Sabbath school, preaching, Bible study, missionary, and prayer meetings. The first Sabbath service is, with but few exceptions, Sabbath school. The first address is that of the church, or place of meeting; the second, if given, that of pastor or clerk.

Lesson XI.—Sunday, March 14, 1897.
SAUL, THE PERSECUTOR, CONVERTED.
Note.—We have traced the growth of the church through its various steps, troubles without and within, conversions of Jews and of Gentiles, persecutions and dispersion of the early members. Now we see taken the first steps toward an expansion of the Gospel work in the regions beyond. Authorities are not agreed in regard to the date of the conversion of Saul. Some place it between the years 34 and 35, while others place it as late as 37. Damascus was about 140 miles northeast of Jerusalem.
1 “But Saul, yet breathing threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven; 4 and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest; but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man. 8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing: and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.”
10 “Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus; for behold, he prayeth; and he hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
17 “And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18 And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized; and he took food and was strengthened. 19 And he was certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. 20 And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.”
Golden Text.—“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” 1 Tim. 1:15.

NOTES.
1. Saul of Tarsus.—Saul, the persecutor, was Paul, the Christian. The first was his Hebrew name and the latter his Greek name. So it seems very appropriate that when he became the apostle to the Gentiles he should be known always as Paul. Tarsus was the chief city in Cilicia, Asia Minor. Breathing out threatenings and slaughter.—It would seem as tho the zeal of Saul for the suppression of Christianity had completely overcome his regard for the law which said, “Thou shalt not kill.” The prophecy which the Saviour uttered in John 16:2: “Whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service” was being literally fulfilled. This lesson is a divine object-lesson upon the subject of how God regards the work of seeking to build up his kingdom by political machinations or by the assistance of the law-making power.
2. Why persecutest thou Me?—Saul had no doubt that the message which came to him from the One in bright apparel was a message from heaven. He expected a Deliverer, and no doubt thought that he was working in the interests of that Deliverer in putting down the followers of what he considered to be a false Messiah; but the fact that this One was Jesus whom they had crucified, and in consequence of the confession of whom they had stoned Stephen, was a terrible revelation to Saul. It is nothing to be wondered at that he trembled and was astonished. Christ identifies himself with his followers. They are his brethren. Christ’s statement that the persecution of his followers is a persecution of himself, is an amplification of that other statement (Matt. 25:40), “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” He who persecutes another for worshiping God according to the dictates of his conscience persecutes Christ. Christ’s sanction is never with the oppressor or the persecutor, even tho that persecution is done in the name of Christ or for the alleged ushering in of his kingdom; and what was true of the persecution of those days is true of the religious persecution of our own day in our own land.
3. Hard . . . to kick against the goads.—This was a common expression of early times to express that impotent rage which injures itself instead of the object against which it is vented. The figure is drawn from “unruly oxen.” In kicking the goad they hurt themselves and accomplished nothing.
4. Seen in a vision.—Saul had been praying for light, both spiritual and physical. He had asked of the One who appeared to him what he should do. The promise was that he would be shown what he must do while at Damascus. It would seem from the preceding verse that he had not ceased to pray for light, and that this vision explaining in what manner he would receive it had come in answer to his fervent prayer.
5. And was baptized.—Since receiving the Master’s rebuke and admonition on the way to Damascus, Saul’s career is marked with implicit obedience and absolute faith. He had not deviated from his instructions, and his belief in the power of God to do what he promised, made it possible for the scales to be removed from his eyes. He had now passed through a similar experience to that of the blind man whom he had been willing to see cast out of the synagogue for confessing his healing at the hands of Christ. Saul had received sight at the hands of Jesus; he had confessed him; and now he would be dealt with by the Jews even as the man on whose eyes Jesus had put the healing clay.
