Day 35 - (Today’s Bible readings: 1 Samuel 10; Psalm 33; Acts 28:17-31)
The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. (Acts 13:44 ESV)
God sent Paul and Barnabas to Antioch, and great things happened. People then where like people today. They wanted to hear the good news that there is hope for sinners. The Gospel message of Jesus’ cross providing the gift of forgiveness was heavenly music to their ears. At the same time, the enemies of the Gospel were working to dissuade them. The same is happening today. We need to remember how the disciples responded to the option of leaving Jesus:
“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”(John 6 68 ESV)
Heavenly Father, thank You for the weekly opportunity I have to hear the good news of all that Jesus has done for my salvation. May the places where Your Word is taught in its truth and purity be filled with eager hearers. Amen.
With whom will you share Jesus today?

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psals - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice.
