Acts 11:1-8 And the apostles and brothers that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.… These are here represented — I. FOR HUMILITY — in order to observe from them the power of the enemy, who never neglects to sow tares among the wheat. II. FOR COMFORT — in order to recognise in them that nothing new befalls the Church in the divisions of the present day. III. FOR DOCTRINE — in order to see from them how the rents are to be healed by the power of evangelical truth and love. (K. Gerok.)
