07DEC

8th Year 12-13 Edition 3 – Acts 12 l The Feast l Dec 7_2012 Acts 12 Return to Admenu Home Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully read, Acts 12. The martyrdom of James, Christ told him that he should drink of the cup that he was to drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that he was to be baptized with. The imprisonment of Peter. An angel of God releases Peter from prison. Herod searched for Peter and he escapes, Herod’s rage. The death of Herod. “20 Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and having persuaded Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food. 21 On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. 22 And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” 23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last. 24 But the word of God increased and multiplied. 25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from[c] Jerusalem when they had completed their service, bringing with them John, whose other name was Mark.” Acts 12:22-25, English Standard Version (ESV). There is a good lesson to be learned here, never take credit for God’s work. If you read the scripture and understand what it said, when you share it remember to give credit to the Holy Spirit. “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,” John 11:25 ESV. We are saved and brought to good purpose by God. Give Him the credit for what your salvation accomplishes, keeping the first thing first, that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. The father sent Jesus to die for our sin. For you and I are unable to pay for our own trespasses. We must give God all the credit for the good works our salvation produces.

Road blocks or bridges? – Acts 11

06DEC

8th Year 12-13 Edition 3 – Acts 11 l The Feast l Dec 6_2012 Acts 11 Return to Admenu Home Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully read, Acts 11. Peter had to defend himself from those that would put tradition or works in front of God’s Grace. The reason for the success of the gospel at Antioch was it was Gods will, His grace. There in Antioch is where the disciples were first called Christians. Acting as true believers they sent relief to Judea. “27 Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius). 29 So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea. 30 And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.” Acts 11:27-30, English Standard Version (ESV). In the beginning of this chapter, the first Christians wanted to live by religious tradition rather than share God’s grace. Once the believers got past their religion and tradition, God’s grace spread like fire. Jesus was accepted as the Messiah by Jew’s and gentiles alike. “I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10:14-15 ESV. We the sinners in this world is who Jesus laid down his life for. Road blocks are for catching law breakers! Jesus is for saving all sinners from their transgressions! Keep the first thing first, that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus laid down his life for all people, those who will accept God’s grace are sealed with the Holy Spirit. Jesus cleans his fish after he catches them! The Feast Thu., December 6, 2012, Acts 11, – “Peter’s defence. (1-18) The success of the gospel at Antioch. (19-24) The disciples named Christians, Relief sent to Judea.

I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:7, 9-10 ESV.
