Revolutionary
Read Acts 17.1-9
“.. defying Caesar’s decrees, saying there is another King, one called Jesus” (Acts 17.7)
The message of the early church was revolutionary. Proclaiming Jesus as the one ‘Messiah’ the Scriptures had promised upset every religious applecart and disturbed the status quo. Radical regime change: not everyone was ready for it! Are you?
Paul ‘reasoned’ from the Scriptures: how ready are you to ‘give the reason for the hope that you have’ (1 Pet.3.15)?
In what ways does your life demonstrate the kingship of Jesus?
Prayer: Whenever I have the opportunity to speak to others of You, Lord, please give me the right words to say and the boldness to speak them fearlessly (Eph.6.19)
