November 11, 2023: Two Main Things

"He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance." (Acts 28:30–31, ESV)
 
The Apostle Paul was found doing at the end of his life what he started doing after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. Immediately, he began preaching the Kingdom and teaching about the Lord Jesus. At the end of his life, he is still preaching the Kingdom and teaching about the Lord, Jesus Christ.
 
May we be found doing the same! The whole Bible is God's story of the redemption of man. It is God's story of His restoration of His Kingdom on earth and the beauty of His Son's death, resurrection, and seating.
 
We live because of our faith in that story! Paul was never able to escape that reality. He lived to see the Kingdom come and the will of God be done on earth as it is in heaven. Therefore, he was found continually proclaiming the Kingdom and speaking of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
 
Oh, that God would light a fire in our hearts to see the Kingdom come with increasing measure and the fame of His Son to be bigger than anything we have ever dreamed! May we search the Word of God daily so that we might discover another aspect of His Kingdom to walk in and another revelation of His Son that we might revel in!
