In Athens

Acts 17:16-23

I missed basically the entire sermon this Sunday due to some bad Chapaghetti I had Saturday night. I ended up taking my bible and reading this passage in the stall. This just means the Word can be read anywhere.

This passage depicts the mission of Paul in Athens. As he roams throughout the streets, he faces many faces of worship. The Athenians do not settle for just one idol, but many. As Paul preaches the good news and Jesus of the resurrection, all found him odd and confusing.

What? So we love Jesus. Looking at us from hindsight, you would have to agree: Christians are weird. Why do they act this way? It would be weird, if other people didn't think that we were weird!

Do not be ashamed. Speak and act the truth that is of verses Acts 17:24-31 and proclaim the Word of God as our life.

How refreshing to know You don't need us.

How amazing to find that You want us.

Amen!
