- Proverbs 17:23-25
- Acts 11:1-26
When the other Christians in Judea learned that the Gentiles (Non-Jews) in the region were allowed to hear the Gospel (Good News about the Savior) it caused no little concern. Up until then, the believers of this new found faith in Jesus as the promised Messiah believed that forgiveness of sins through the blood of Jesus was a gift only for the chosen people of God - the Jewish nation. Once Peter described how God had blown that idea out of the water, the Jews of the area figured they better not stand in the way of what God was doing among the Gentiles! Smart move!
How about today? How do we stand in the way of what God is doing among unbelievers? What preconceived ideas and limitations do we possess that prevent us from allowing God to work in and through us to reach our world with the Good News that Jesus paved the way to a personal relationship with our Creator?
Ask God right now to show you those misunderstandings on your part over the next few weeks. As He does so, He will also give you the tools, strength and resources necessary for you to overcome.
