It's my Day 3. I officially started my Chlomophene today.
Acts 22:30 - 23:35
Paul - The Planning of his Killing to his exile to Caesarea
Paul had his face slapped by the high priest because he said he had lived before God in good conscience. Many did not realize he was a Pharisee and he had divided the council telling them he believed in the resurrection of Christ. Pharisees believe this, but the Sadducees do not. The following day, a group of Jews made a pact to not eat or drink until they had Paul killed. They wanted to kill Paul as he was being transported between the prison and the high council. Paul's nephew heard this and warned Paul who asked his nephew to report it to the commander. The commander then sent Paul to Govenor Felix to have him tried there.
This is actually quite amazing. The plot definitely thickens.
1 Peter 1:14 - 2:16
A Call to Holy Living
"Obey God because you are his children. Don't slip back into your old ways of doing evil...He will judge or reward you according to what you do... I warn you to keep away from evil desires because they fight against your very souls."
Realising you're wrong is one thing, but continuing to do it with it conscious in your mind is absolutely WRONG. It's one thing to be ignorant and other to be evil. Yes we are sinners. But as God's children we need to represent, not disappoint. God doesn't disappoint us. We do... God does judge. What is fair in our eyes doesn't matter. God sees the bigger picture. We are merely a pixel in the grand scheme of things... but a single missing pixel would destroy the perfection of the piece. So no matter little we feel we are, we are surprisingly important. We make choices. That's God gift to us... freedom to believe and freedom to follow. I choose to believe, follow and do my best to represent...
