Hezekiah broke Moses’ bronze snake: 2 Kings 17:1-18:12
The tent maker’s dissertation: Acts 20:1-38
CeCe Winans favorite psalm: Psalm 148:1-14
Mouth begging for a beating: Proverbs 18:6-7
Paul’s closing statement to the Ephesians talked about how important it was for them to live by his teachings. Of course, we know some of his teachings to them – they’re in the Book of Ephesians. But here in Acts, as Dr. Luke recorded it, what was the main thing Paul said that he taught them? And not just to them, but to the Jews too? (Hint, that means everybody.) That we “turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus” (verse 21).
Repentance goes hand-in-hand with faith in Jesus. We can’t live a life full of sin, with no intention of ever changing, all the while claiming that Jesus is our Lord. When Paul called Jesus our “Lord”, it means that He’s our master --> we do what He says.
