Grace for your spirit August 25, 2010

Grace for your spirit
The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of the Lord.But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were blaspheming. Acts 13:44-45

Paul and Barnabas caused quite a stir preaching the good news in the synagogue. The Jews were excited and begged them to return next week. They followed Paul urging him to continue in the grace of God. The news spread like wildfire, and the next week the place was packed. We would think the Jews would be excited, but it was just the opposite. They turned against Paul and turned against God. If it couldn't be all for them, they didn't want anyone to hear it. Could that attitude be present in our assembly? If our assembly was packed with neighborhood people next week, would we be excited or upset? Let's wake up. The gospel is for all.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
