This Sunday morning, remember what happened in Acts 5. The apostles were imprisoned for telling of Jesus. But during the night “an angel of the Lord opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said, ‘Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life.’ Upon hearing this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach” (Acts 5:19-21 NAS).
Father God, You are the Author of this message of life. You chose us from before the foundation of the world to receive through Jesus Christ every spiritual blessing. Through Him we are made holy and blameless in Your sight. Through Him we are adopted into Your family. Through Him our sins are forgiven and our lives are redeemed. And in the fullness of time You will bring all things in heaven and earth together under Him.
Lord, help us today to speak to people the whole message of this Life Jesus alone makes possible. Help the pastors of our city and beyond to be true to Your Word in bringing the full counsel of God to each situation where You allow us to minister this Lord’s Day. Help us to walk and serve in the freedom that You give through the power of the Gospel of Jesus. Let it be so, Father, in His name. Amen!
