Grace for your spirit May 13, 2009

Grace for your spirit

For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.  I Thes 1:9-10

The faithful in Thessalonica gave the apostle Paul and Silas a grand reception.  It was evident that they had turned to God, were faithfully serving, and patiently waiting for Jesus.  The arrival of God’s messenger had increased their faith and excited them greatly.  If the Apostle Paul was coming to our congregation to worship and work with us, what kind of reception would he receive?  Does our faithfulness show in our enthusiasm for others?  The news of their faithfulness was spreading throughout the land. What is the news spreading about our church?

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
