6-25-2014 Acts 17:1-9
S. 1
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to
Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:2 And Paul, as his manner was,
went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the
scriptures,3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and
risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is
Christ.4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of
the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.5 But the
Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows
of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and
assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.6 And
when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers
of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come
hither also;7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the
decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.8 And they
troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.9
And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
O. Thessalonica
is the next city to hear the news of Jesus. Once again trouble is stirred up by
un-believing Jews.
A. Some
will hear and believe and others will reject the message of Jesus. I must
remember it is Jesus they are rejecting and not to be offended.
P. Father;
renew my energy, fill my heart and lead me to the ones that will hear and
believe. Amen.
