Running with Jesus

Acts 26:9-10 "I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth   Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them."

     Paul continues his defense case to these leaders and gives them his personal testimony. He tells how he did many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth!

     Why are we amazed at this happening in our world today, people living and doing things contrary to Jesus? Leaders trying to do away with Jesus! The Bible tells us that Satan is the prince of the air and reigns here. He started the day Jesus was born to do away with Him. When the Magi showed up, he tried to find the King whom they came seeking to kill Him. When that plan failed Satan ordered all the baby boys be killed and Satan was working through a King!  Our forefathers and all the former Presidents have always promoted Christ and our faith. Our nation was formed to protect our rights to worship Jesus of Nazareth! Oh Satan is at work! Satan is more at work today than ever before doing things contrary to Jesus of Nazareth! He has read the back of the book too! He knows his days are numbered. He is not using new tricks to deceive man. What did he use day one in the garden with man? "Surely you will not die?"  He caused man to doubt God's Word  is true. He's saying today, "Surely there is no God and that is a fairy tale about Jesus of Nazareth!"

     Paul was sent to speak to the Gentile nations and he is still speaking today saying look at my life!   I got it wrong guys and died taking the truth and writing the truth. "Jesus of Nazareth is the Savior for mankind!"

      Well, it is your choice, believe Satan's lies and the world system’s lies or believe the truth!  Go ahead and live contrary to Jesus of Nazareth! One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess He is Lord, Jesus of Nazareth! 

Father, open the eyes of people's hearts that they may discern a lie from truth. We know your truth will set us free. Help us share truth as we go out. Help us share Jesus of Nazareth is Your Son sent to die for our sins.

We will be focusing on light tomorrow, see you then!
