Today's encouragement comes from Acts 13:42, where we read these words:
"So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath."
What a remarkable situation: people "begging" to have preached to them the Gospel of grace in the Lord Jesus Christ! That kind of miracle seems to be uncommon; but it always happens when the Holy Spirit, drawing people to Jesus, gets ready to place them into the New Covenant (Jew/Gentlie) church.
Our only hope as sinful people living in the world is the Lord Jesus Christ. Let those of us who know God, by His marvelous grace alone, ask our Father to prosper Christ's Gospel, and to increase the members of His faithful church.
[Puritan quote of the day: "You cannot gratify Satan more, nor injure your-selves more, than by living without assurance [of God's favor in Christ].”
—Thomas Brooks, in, "Heaven on Earth"]
