“Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple of long standing…” (Acts 21:16)
The only thing we know about Mnason is he was a Christian of consistency. Long-standing faith doesn’t sit down when the going gets rough. Long-standing discipleship keeps reaching upward and finding new growth. Long-standing faith doesn’t come up short – it finishes strong.
Be Mnason – be a long-stander.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
Today’s Reading: Acts 21:10-19
Questions to ask:
- How does this show the continuation of Jesus’ work now going on in the church?
- How is the gospel, Paul’s preaching, and/or Paul’s defense received?
- What is the Holy Spirit doing in this text?
- What in our reading shows how Paul handled adversity and difficulty?
This year, #Biblebites are following the life and writings of Paul. If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2023-vision
