Scriptural References: Acts 16:16-34, John 17:20-26
Acts 16 describes some unlikely places for Paul and Silas to
witness to their faith. First, they pray and sing hymns to God while
fellow inmates listen; then, after the prison doors are miraculously opened,
they share the gospel with the jailer and his household. When have you
had the opportunity to talk your faith in an unlikely place? What does it
take, to recognize and seize upon such opportunities?
In John 17, Jesus is described as praying directly for you
and me. Jesus says to God in verses 20 and 21: I ask not only on
behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me
through their word, that they may all be one. What emotions does that
stir within you?
What does it mean for us to be one with believers in
the past, present, and future? In other words, how does God’s word,
make us one, so that unity, does not mandate uniformity?
