Thought of the Day !!

All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer.

                                                            Acts 2:42 (NLT)
 

Jesus left us with what we call the Great Commission.  It comes from Matthew 28 and states that we are to go into the world, making disciples of all people and baptizing them and teaching them to obey the commands of Jesus.  The assumption here is that we must first have a profound understanding of what it means to be saved and to be a disciple. 

The first believers were hungry for God’s Word as it was taught to them by Peter and the other apostles.  They had such a burning desire to know Jesus that they dedicated (devoted) themselves to the apostles’ teachings. 

 

How about us today?  Do we have a great desire to learn about Christ so that we can make disciples of Christ, teaching them the ways of Jesus?  Do we have a hunger inside us drawing us closer and closer to Jesus through His Word as it was written in the Bible and as it’s still taught by God-called people of ministry?

Our Churches are doomed if we don’t become more dedicated to God’s will, found in His Word and taught by those He’s called to speak it prophetically.  Let us all become more devoted to learning about and growing closer to God through His Son Jesus.

In the love of Christ,
