You Ought To Tell Someone

Good Morning!! When the disciples were left alone, as Jesus ascended into heaven, a new beginning was just around the corner. Jesus told them to go to Jerusalem and wait for the Promise. That Promise came on the day of Pentecost,...a day that changed their lives forever. God's Holy Spirit came upon them with sounds of a mighty wind, that came from heaven, a demonstration of supernatural power. Tongues of fire were then dispersed ("sat on") to each person (Acts 2:1-4). This event made it very clear that something amazing and indescribable was taking place amongst these people. In the days that followed this small group of believers came together in one accord, knowing that they had been given gifts from the Lord,...and that they had been called to witness the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all...—Acts 4:33 (NIV)

The first gift given involved "great power",...as the apostles zealously told of their knowledge and personal experience of who Jesus Christ was,...and what He had done. The second gift, however, is one we sometimes take for granted,...but it is extremely crucial to the first one: "great grace." Grace, however, steps in and says that the Lord has granted us unmerited favor in His sight. He chose us. He loved us first. He called us to do His work. He gifted us for His purposes. Not of us, but of Him, by His grace.

Grace will always accompany power in our life,...Grace is connected to our faith.

Holy Spirit, allow us to make time today and look up verses on "grace." Help us to use our Bibles and concordances, reading and learning about grace. Minister to us, through spirit and Word. As we suffering, and struggling, erge and encour us to approach the Father's throne of grace with boldness,...and receive His mercy today, as in Hebrews 4:16,...that we may be blessed! Amen.

"Every saved person this side of heaven owes the gospel to every lost person this side of hell."
