Since I have been quite for a while I thought I would put my thoughts of the first 5 chapters of Acts into one blog.
I think what strikes me the most about the readings so far is the passion of the apostles. Here they are alone without their leader and yet they are preaching and healing people without fear! The Sadducees and Chief Priests are after them, put them in jail and still they continue. What keeps them going ? their faith in Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Faith to me, is a personal thing, something not everyone is comfortable sharing with others. Here are Jesus' disciples freely sharing their faith in God with everyone they come in contact with no matter the consequences. And people are joining them by the hundred! The power of the Holy Spirit is an awesome power.
Our God is an Awesome God!
P.S. I do agree with Kelly, why did Ananias and Sapphira die just because they held back some money? Sometimes the wrath of God is hard for us understand. But we have to have FAITH in his plan.
