SAA Notes
In both Thessalonica and Berea there are believers. However, the characters of the two towns are different. What is the difference? (Thessalonica is called Salonika today.)
SJA Notes
* Mighty God, please teach us from Your today, that we might teach those around us of You and Your great love for us.
“These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,”
It seems to the unbelieving heart sheer madness that God says we are sinners in need of salvation, and that only given by Him through the shed blood of Jesus, the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.
Look at these words from the mouths of people who rejected Jesus and worked hard to discredit those who preached that He was the Christ,
“These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,”
From the mouth of unbelievers comes a most important message!
By taking the good news of Jesus to the world we TURN THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN.
How wonderful and amazing and sometimes scary this is!
That God would work through us, broken and frail vessels, to turn the world on its head.
Hallelujah, what a mighty powerful all-knowing all-seeing God we worship!
What a King we have!
What a Saviour that continues to work for our good!
* Dear Lord God,
Please help us to preach the message of Jesus, the good news that turns the world upside down.
Please let us see Jesus today.
Amen.
