“…and when they heard it, they began glorifying God.” (Acts 21:20)
When Paul retold the events of the last few years of his life, the people who heard it glorified God because the life Paul lived glorified God. Sometimes, we overcomplicate the process of being a Christian. It doesn’t have to be complicated; just ask yourself… if the story of my day was told to another, would the tale glorify God? If not, why not?
Keep it simple. To God be the glory.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
Today’s Reading: Acts 21:20-30
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
