Acts 5:13
“None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem.”
Ananias and Sapphira’s death has brought a holy fear upon all the people. There is a holy awe that is waking people up to the holiness of God. It meant so much to join this group of Jesus followers. It was not an easy decision, and it meant giving up everything else to follow Jesus. It was not attractive to become a Christian, and this was repelling many from becoming followers. As followers of Jesus, we must stand with Jesus on His righteousness and holiness, and not call weakness what God calls wickedness. When
Christ’s Church stands
On the Word of God
It will make the world
Stand in awe
This will repel many and compel some. Jesus’ Church should make people consider their loss and count their cost before joining His people in His congregation, on His mission. Father God, help us to be a church that welcomes all, and helps them count the cost of following You with us, in a way that helps them surrender all, not just in singing on Sunday’s, but in every area of our lives, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
