6-15-2014 Acts 15: 24-29
(Father’s Day 2014)
S. 24
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled
you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep
the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:25 It seemed good unto us, being
assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas
and Paul,26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the
same things by mouth.28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay
upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;29 That ye abstain from
meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from
fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
O.
This is the letter sent out from the Jerusalem Council.
A. We
do well when we come to a place of understanding and unity. Unity is a central
theme of Heaven. We can therefore have “heaven on earth” when we establish and
foster unity. (Pride must die for unity to be complete)
P. Father;
Make me into a man of peace and a builder of unity. Amen.
