What a job the new church leaders had to go into a synagogue and teach that Jesus was who He said He was a debate the religious leaders of the day to re-think what they currently believed. It was for this reason that they needed to communicate effectively in order to help them understand with the help of the Holy Spirit the truth of God’s plan in Jesus.

This passage also reminds me that there will always be those whose hearts are closed to the truth but I must be ready to give it my best and communicate the gospel in compelling and effective way. We still and will always live in a world with so many different voices and choices thrown out there to those seeking answers and genuine purpose in their life. That is why these scriptures are no less important today than they were back in that time. God please grant me wisdom and discipline to study and communicate your Word effectively.

Acts 14:2-4
