D. PAUL'S THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY, 18:23 - 21:14
1. Comment on 18:23-28: There is such a ministry as:
(1) "Strengthening all the disciples" by means of itineration in the
ministry of the Word, v. 23.
(2) Helping the believer by means of the exposition of the Word, v.
23-28.
2. Observe three kinds of baptisms in 19:1-7:
(1) John's baptism, which was a baptism of repentance.
(2) Christ's baptism, which is a baptism of identification.
(3) The baptism in the Spirit, which is evidenced by a supernatural
vocal phenomenon.
3. Comment on the statement "they were baptised in the name of the Lord
Jesus," 19:5: Paul used this expression to differentiate this baptism
from that of John's, not to introduce a formula in contradiction to
Matt. 28:19.
4. Why did God grant "special miracles" (extraordinary even for
miracles) in 19:8-20? To convince the practitioners of "curious
arts" of the superior power of God so as to bring about their
abandonment of these things and acceptance of Christ.
5. What should the incident in 19:13-16 teach us? Not to trifle with
Satanic power.
6. Account for the "no small stir" in 19:23-41: The highly profitable
craft of making silver shrines for the goddess Diana, as well as the
worship of Diana itself, was jeopardized by the gospel.
7. List the events in:
(1) 20:1-5 - Paul, intending to go to Syria by sea, goes instead by
land via Macedonia to avoid falling into the hands of the Jews.
(2) 20:6-12 - At Troas Paul preached until midnight when a young man,
having fallen asleep, fell out of the window, - v. 7.
(3) 20:13-38 - Paul, in hurrying on his way to Jerusalem, calls for
the elders of the church of Ephesus to bid them farewell for the
last time.
8. Explain the warning given by Paul in 21:4 on his way to Caesarea,
21:1-9: Inasmuch as 23:11 makes it clear that Paul was not out of the
will of God in going to Jerusalem, it must be concluded that while it
was revealed to those prophets that bonds and afflictions awaited
Paul, the inference that he should not go was their own. Therefore,
Paul accepted the information, but not their inference.
9. What takes Place in 21:10-14? The Holy Spirit warns Paul a second time
this time by symbolic action added to vocal expression, not to
dissuade him, but to prepare him.
