Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Saturday, November 2, 2019
Today's Passage : Today's Passage :Peter's Sermon Bible Verse :Acts 10:34-43 "Then Peter began to speak to them: "I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ — he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." " Message:
Peter gave this early sermon in the Roman capital of Caesarea, after the first Gentiles had been converted. Cornelius, a centurion in a Roman legion, and several of his friends had received a vision, and Peter was called to them. After he gave this short sermon, they received the Holy Spirit.
In it, Peter announces that the salvation of Christ is available to any person in any nation, who respects and obeys Christ. While Christ Himself had indicated this — for example, by His instruction of the woman at the well — it came as quite a shock to a number of Jews, including Peter himself. They have grown accustomed to believing that a personal relationship with God was restricted to Jews, as it had been under the old covenant.
He reiterates this in the last sentence with the most basic message of Christianity, the "good news": Everyone who believes in Christ can receive forgiveness for his sins. Whatever ills or misery might befall us during our lives on earth, and despite the fact that we have sinned and offended God's law, our sins will be forgiven and we will come to a place of perfect peace and happiness, through the power of Christ.
Meditation : Prayer : Now the God of patience and consolation grant to me, and to all who pray in the name of Christ, to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That we may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ......Amen |
