Skimming through the book of ACTS with Dr R in the church on sunday morning is an eye-opener.
Annanias and Saphira die,the fear of God is instilled in people and the gospel spreads,
Paul comes face to face with the silversmiths in Ephesus,there is opposition but the gospel is preached,
Stephen is stoned to death,gospel spreads,
Peter and John heal the beggar outside the temple,everyone is amazed,gospel is preached and God is glorified,
Peter and John are brought before the Sanhedrin,gospel is preached,
Paul is converted,the gospel is preached,
Peter sees a vision at Cornellius' house,gospel is opened to the gentiles,
Whatever the circumstances were,there was a common end that Jesus was preached.
Regardless of what happens to us ,the gospel(Jesus)must be preached and glorified.It is to that end we serve.
While writing this up my attention went towards this verse in ACTS 20 vs 24 -
as Paul puts it to the Ephesians-'However ,I consider my life worth nothing to me,my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me -the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace.'
