Dec 14_2012 Acts 19
Dear Saints,
Fellow followers of the Way, today we prayerfully read in, Acts 19. Paul instructs the disciples of John concerning Jesus and they are filled with the Holy Spirit at Ephesus. He teaches there reasoning with them concerning the Messiah. The Jewish exorcists disgraced, when they use magic arts. Some of the Ephesians convinced that Jesus is the Way, burn their evil books. The Ephesians are up in arms, they feel that the way in intruding on the living they make in magic arts and making of idols at Ephesus. The tumult appeased; “35 And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky? 36 Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash. 37 For you have brought these men here who are neither sacrilegious nor blasphemers of our goddess. 38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another. 39 But if you seek anything further, it shall be settled in the regular assembly. 40 For we really are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion.” 41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.” Acts 19:35-41, English Standard Version (ESV). Some times common sense takes over and men finding the Way, see the evil in their own lives. Here they realized that the disciples, are not attacking them for their sins. They are merely sharing the love of Jesus. “[Birth of Jesus Foretold] In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”” Luke 1:26-28 ESV. Share the gift of eternal life through our Lord Jesus. He is the Savior of all persons, whomever accepts his love. Keep the first thing first, salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. When the sinner turns to the light, and accept Him, Jesus will save them from theirs sins.

“and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”” Matthew 2:4-6 ESV.
