Scripture: Acts 17:5
But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
Observation:
These Jews are starting to get on my nerves! They have scripture and physical evidence of Jesus being the Messiah and they refuse to accept it. They are arrogant, proud, and corrupt. They even enlist the help of evil men to stir up the crowd and attack a believer. So much for religion, We know who they are working for!
Application:
This reminds me that even church leadership can be misguided or even worse corrupt. Persons in leadership roles should strive to show an accurate picture of Christ to others. God has placed us where we are. We should serve with a humble spirit and a receptive heart and mind.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help me to serve you with a humble spirit. Help me never become arrogant or proud. Help me be open to where you are leading. In Jesus Name Amen.
