come to an end! He wants Timothy to bring Mark with him. HE will now
be useful to Paul for ministry. Mark's Gospel is also a great
addition to the NT. He presents Jesus in a light most appealng to
Romans: a Gospel of dispatch and swift effectiveness. It also exudes
the nature of Jesus as the true servant of God symbolized by the ox,
one of the 4 faces of Ezekiel's initial vision of the cherubim.</span></span></span></font></p>

all Jesus' disciples forsook Him, and even denied Him at the time of
His Cross - yet just as He spoke forgiveness to them from the Cross
in one of His last 7 words - so Paul spoke forgiveness for those who
failed to stand with him in his defense. But how wonderful that these
two who were both forsaken, yet the One came to stand with Paul in
his solitary defense. Jesus cared! Jesus understood! In the light of
this, Paul could confidently proclaim in a positive word, that this
divine deliverance would continue to the very end!</font></p>

4:19 - Paul's greeting to Priscilla and Aquila is most timely. This
couple appear in the NT 6 times, always together. In the Authorized
Version, it is 3 times Aquila and Priscilla, and 3 times Priscilla
and Aquila. But in the Numeric Interlinear NT is is 2 times Aquila
and Priscilla, but </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">4
times</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
Priscilla and Aquila. “Name order” by the Holy Spirit through NT
writers is most important. Priscilla was like the OT Deborah:
charismatic, and spiritually aggressive. Aquila was a ruling elder:
calm, judicious, careful, and a true covering for his wife. He
unselfishly released her to function in their 3 churches in the home:
Rome, Ephesus and Corinth. It was a function of Priscilla much like
that of Mary Slessor of Calabar and Sophie Muller of New Tribes
Mission in South America. Paul was happy by his name-positioning to
honor Priscilla for the unusual ministry in which she functioned.
When Apollos visited their church - and obviously was lacking in the
clear understanding of the Gospel that she and her husband had been
taught - she quite possibly said to her husband, “Aquila dear - we
need to invite Apollos home for dinner. I'll fix up a meal that opens
up a man to hear from God. Then we'll show him the Gospel more
accurately concerning the Peter-Package of Acts 2:38 - and how Paul
makes this ever so much clearer.” They did - and Apollos received
the enlightenment - and the Kingdom of God went forward yet more
effectively.</span></span></span></font></p>

- Take note that God did not always heal immediately Paul's
fellow-workers. Trophimus had to be left behind on this occasion,
sick. Those who press healing too strongly in the light of this,
should reconsider their position. Dr. E. Stanley Jones had very wise
counsel in the various roles of healing that God is often pleased to
use. Dr. Jones found 6 of these areas. One is perfect healing for
some on their arrival in heaven. Some find this difficult to accept.
But </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">this</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
was the role for the prophet Elisha! But others come under great
condemnation because of too rigid a position held out to them. Did
Jesus provide the double-cure? Of course! But is the timing and
testing involved in reception sometimes difficult to understand?
Indeed! Here then is where we need to extend grace to one another in
these difficult areas. - J.A.W.</span></span></span></font></p>
