Sunday September 15
Open today is message. We're going to be back in Acts chapter 13. The second part of the chapter. So if you would, please turn the air in your copy of God's word. Last week, in the first part of this chapter, we saw how the spirit called out Paul and Barnabas from their Ministry there in Antioch Syrian Antioch to take them. And have them go to many places in order to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Today's passage is the continuation of this initial jewelry of theirs as they enter a new city declaring the same gospel message. I want us to live together this morning with Acts chapter 13, to begin with. There's 13 and going through the end of the chapter and so will begin here. Here's what the word of the Lord says, the police companion. Set sail from Pecos, and came to Target in Penfield Leah, and John left them in return to Jerusalem, but they went on for a game, came to Antioch in pisidia and on the Sabbath day, the winner. The synagogue and sat down after the reading of both in the law and the prophets, the words from the synagogue, send a message to them saying Brothers, if you had any word of encouragement, for the people say it, supposed it up and motion with his hand said. None of this is real. And you who fear God listen. They got it was People Israel, chose our fathers and made the people great, during the stay in the land of Egypt in with uplifted arm, he led them out of it, in for about 40 years. He put up with them in the wilderness. And after destroying Seven Nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. All this took about four hundred fifty years and after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet in the ask for a king and God gave them saw the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin for 40 years and they moved him who raised updated to be their king of who he testified and said, I have found in David. The son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. To do all my will but this man's ice cream. God has brought to Israel as Savior, Jesus, as he promised before. He's coming John who proclaim? The baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. Who is John, was finishing his course. He said, what do you suppose that I am? I am not, he know, but they hold after me. One is coming the sand of us at the same, Look whose feet. I am not worthy to untie, brother's sons of the family of Abraham. And those among you who fear God to us, has been sent the message of this salvation. For those who live in Jerusalem, in the rulers because they did not recognize him to understand other images of the profits, which I read every Sabbath to fill them by condemning him and do they have found in him? No, guilt worthy of death. They asked Tyler to have him executed. It really cold out, all that was written of him. They took him down from the tree and let him in a tomb that God raised him from the dead. If you need a c a p, Are those who would come up with him From Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. And we bring you, the good news is what God promised to the fathers. That he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus. Also, as also it is written in the second song. You are my son today. I have begotten, you and ask for the fact that I raised him from the dead men were to return to corruption case. Has he spoken in this way, I will give you the wholly and shared blessings of David. Therefore he says, also in another song you will not let your Holy One see corruption for David. After he served the purpose and God it was over generation fell asleep and was late with his father's and saw corruption but he whom God raised up, did not see corruption let it be to you. Therefore brothers that through this man. Forgiveness of sins is Proclaim to you and buy him. Everyone who believes is free from everything from which you could not be free. By the law of Moses, the prophet should come about look you scoffers and misguided and Parish are days. I realize that you are not busy. Even if one tells it to you, Is it going out? People beg that these things might be told in the next Sabbath and after the meeting with the city guard, woke up many Jews and about convert to Judaism follow Paul, and Barnabas who, as they spoke with them, urges them to continue in the grace of God. Black Sabbath, almost the whole city gathered, to hear the word of the Lord. You saw that the crowds with and just saw the crowds. They were filled with jealousy, and begin to contradict what was spoken by Paul revealing him. It's all about animals, spoke out boldly saying. It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you threw us to decide and judge yourselves. Unworthy of eternal life behold, we were turning to the Gentiles for serve. The Lord has commanded us. Save, I have made you a light for the gym tiles. That you may bring Salvation to the ends of the Earth 2 in the Gentiles heard. This thing began with Joycie and glorifying, the word of the Lord, in his manner, was reappointed to return in life believed In the word of the Lord was, spreading throughout the whole region, with the Jews inside of the development of high standing in the meeting room of the city-state of persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their District. They shook off the best to defeat against them and went into a Coney Island in the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit Heavenly father, as we approach this time together here in your word today. But I would simply pray that you would take me your servant, use me to speak your words to your people, that we might be made more into the image of your son, Jesus Christ, that your name would be glorified above all else. We ask this in Jesus name, amen, Woman gone to someone who you assumed. I knew the answer to the problem that you were having, what can you do, when your, your car is making this noise in your face when you go to mechanic, can you memorize and make that sound? That your car is making me like, why don't you know what's wrong with my car? And even when they go in and take a look at it and they drive it around, maybe it makes the noise, maybe it doesn't believe me. There's still only able to figure out what the problem is, who are the movie a little bit more concerning. Those, you go to the doctor with this system symptoms in the doctors. There are relations everybody. Looking at it, or Gavin test, when you're doing all the stuff to get to the end of this process to me, like we're not exactly sure what's wrong. Take this little Regiment of pills and we'll see if that helps. They can be very frustrating as we go to people who supposedly have an answer and look fine. But they are just those not going to say clueless but there are Mysteries out there. They don't know when they are things that they can't quite put their finger on her problems and no greater questions in this life. And in this world, everyone knows that a related to a relationship with the Lord into our eternity. We hold the answer to the most important questions that anyone could ask about life and Eternity. The bottom line is this that we are the people to whom the gospel has been given and then people come to us, and we need to load not just the answers to write. Why is my life the way that it is? Why my struggle in the way that I am, but what does eternity hold for you? And for me as the ones who have been given that knowledge out to be able to Clarity to be able to communicate the gospel message in to preach into the cold, The Wonderful Name of Jesus, to those who need to hear it. The question is, will begin this morning because I wouldn't have to use to go to get on my nerves going, or are these, do you know the people around you? Well, enough to speak the gospel to them in meaningful ways? Do you know your labor enough to be able to say? I know that he or she is struggling with this particular facet of life into which the gospel can speak? It is. Do you know the gospel, well, enough, to apply it in the various circumstances of life? I wonder. Do you even know the gospel. Please reply it to our own lives with a two-day basis? It don't even be able as witnesses as light as soon as salt in this world, to go to share that gospel. What time is round us who need it? So desperately, well, past lunch today, I think will help us through it through these important issues and we might be able to better preach. The Wonderful Name of Jesus has with boldness, but also with knowledge and let them passion. And I didn't cause message in our passage today, we're going to see that we must know the doctor, and the people with whom we share it. If we were to share Jesus, with everything fully, we must lay the gospel, of course, because we're dad is in there. It says, we can't give away what we don't have to share with you that, which I do not know a cure that teach you, that of which I am not aware. But we also literally must know this gospel, but you must know those with whom we speak we were to be able to speak to gospel today, on the days that can react with what they know and where they are in life. What is the understand? Or as we do meet people, reader individuals, from varied backgrounds. With varied has varied levels of knowledge, about Jesus and about the Bible. And we have to beware of those things as we go and share the gospel message, begins, if you look at in the first versus that we read their from verses 13 through 16, what we see is that Paul and buy a list of Naval way to the city and Antioch. Now, if you read the New Testament, you probably see them with the city named Antioch. A bunch. Antioch is the church? Where is the city where Paul and Barnabas were there at the church? And they were sent out from there. But now, they find themselves in another city in another region. Also called Antioch. It is a rule or somewhere that name like 16 different cities after his father or something like that. And so, you know, it was just a bunch of Antioch, see if you're sure you're getting the right as you read it. But this is a stimulant Antioch. And let me see here as they go into this place. We see a pattern. Beginning that will read that they will see constantly throughout Paul's Ministries wear when he goes in to replace the first place that he goes in that city is generally either a synagogue or Jewish people who do not worship or we'll find whatever the Jewish people would Gather in order to go and share the gospel with them because they're at their synagogue, that particular sad that those weary band verse 14 and it says after they broke the law, but 15 in the popits, the rulers of the synagogue sent the message to them to Paul and Barnabas and they said, hey if you got anything to share, if you have any word of encouragement to share with the people say it was prearranged or whether it was spur of the moment, whatever. I imagine it was prearranged, baby, Paul and Barnabas had some conversation beforehand with the, with the rulers of the synagogue, who sells there, with this invitation It was opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to all the people gathered there. This is the first thing we learn from this message. That Paul didn't bruise is that we must know our audience. If we are going to preach Wonderful Name of Jesus in real life and Powerful ways, we must know where are you at the middle of verse 16? Because we were told that he stands up emotions with his hands. He gets the attention and during address has been one of those real and you who fear. God Listen to Rule, it was still with ethnic Jews and Gentiles who had it converted to the Jewish faith. In other words where they were at Refrigeration whether they were just religious Emoji with everybody in that rude. Call the common theme for the common sedimentologist, if they have concerning, the scriptures are the common long before a massager that was going to come. WhatsApp all knowledgeable, best movies that are in the admittedly. This is where he himself would come through. Even begins to share with them. The gospel message, beginning, the history of Israel has to go to school, to begin. 31st 7 to talk about how God chose their fathers, in great danger. Stay in the land of Egypt and dance with her updated on Wheels, came out of slavery overall was that God was providentially. Faithful and caring for the people of Israel all throughout their history and caring for the people in the entire time. Is in full Dave is Playland of salvation but ultimately culminates in the coming of Jesus Christ it again but just make some highlights here against God's gracious and providential care for Israel begins. Is choosing of them and I'll eat them right in the land of Egypt, has been out in The Exodus and I love, I love her at 8 to about 40 years, he put up with them in the wilderness. That's a very apt statement. Now to be fair, put up with can also be translated as he carried them when they go through. So what will this give the benefit of the doubt who was Publius? If you've ever read the Old Testament it's a mixture of both ladies pay for it all. So pretty up with their idolatry immersed in the last. His grace was evident as he continues to leave them as their history goes on here. She brings him into the promised land and to buy his own. My teacher gives them badly and he has been judges and later he gave them to stall when they ask for a king and then he gives them King David. And then after his own Lord Bothwell currently company in Bruceton. The Savior that has been promised to see that in verse 23 of this man. Gospel of David Offspring. Scott was brought to Israel a savior Jesus as he promised Who was he put in the gospel here in historical context? In both cases, the ground in a powerful point of connection to what's the point people to Jesus, right? Because he's not starting here with some other histories, not starting here with may be that the history of the people of the city of Antioch know he's sharing the gospel, with this group of Jewish, people get another ethnically or would religiously it was putting it in terms that they can understand any good. When you're speaking to a Jewish, I didn't, you know, I just put it in terms, you can understand your setting it within the entire course of Salvation history. And that's what he was doing in this message in the same, ethnic origin and sharing the same history of Desire. Clue how to speak to the people at that, silly dog. And we also invite as we seek to share the gospel, the same principle, I believe applies to a swim. I need to know the people with whom we are speaking. If you're sitting next to someone, or maybe it's your neighbor that you've lived next door to for 20 years, maybe a similar meeting at the store or on an airplane or where ever, you find yourself. If you feel the spirit leading you to have a conversation in to share the gospel with them. So you can just go ahead and start, you can share a new tire store with scripture and we can do that. Most valuable, of course, if you got the time when you got me ability to take a moment and really get to know that person, you ask them some simple questions about what it is that. They believe what they school, just background is opens the door to be able to share. It would also help you to understand who this person know that they spent their childhood doing the church. They probably have a little bit of background knowledge that I can do it on to share the gospel a little bit more clearly and maybe it never darken, the door of a church that the name of Jesus don't know, who knows? It's a roar of these people are but you can share the gospel with them still in ways that the connect with them. And you're not speaking Beyond with their level of knowledge is this was sitting in the listen to people who ask questions and we interact. We can also come to see and hear through the struggles are We come to see if they hear what it is with that. What wood is broken in their hearts in their lives. One of their longings of their heart because every single one of those instances there is a a gospel in the biblical truth, it speaks to those scenarios. Would you take those in the lower can use as little to speak to that particular issue? But the bridge that to the gospel in a way, that is more powerful in their lives. The palm of his audience a trailer, but he said that big in a way that connected with them is telling them the story of God's, providential care of their people as well as painting. A picture of how God has Faithfully fulfilled, his promise to bring a savior. What does does is this sets the table and makes his listeners ready to hear the gospel message cuz he sure is a lot of good biblical truth here but he hasn't gotten to the big news yet. As long as you continue to receive it preaching, That Wonderful Name of Jesus. Resuscitates us actually declaring the gospel message through. See next, if we must declare the message, if you go to preach, the Wonderful Name of Jesus. Should we can't just share the biblical information. We need to actually get to the heart of the Gospel after connecting with the group by recounting the history of Israel. Paul gets to the heart of his message, in a 26 read. Either in their attention. He began their inverse Oliver 16-minute meals ree in the movie theater Guide listing and now and there's 26 brother's sons of the family of Abraham. And those among you who fear God, who else has been sent, the message of this salvation We have been given this message. She says, you are now me to listen to your, what it is that I have to say because I'm bringing to you, as saving message Procedure that he shares. Tell Jesus if you look at he says a lot of words between verses 27 and 39. He says a lot of reasons with detail quilted Old Testament passages. You want me to give you the gist of what I'm saying and just of what he say is Jesus, the Savior Ali died. Craig was buried and he rose again. I said it before, and I'll say it again. When someone asks you, what is the gospel? Jesus Christ. This is it that Jesus died, according to the scriptures, the who is buried in the movie, is Raiders in the third day in accordance with the scriptures. Paul girls in a little bit of the greater detail here because it's a picture for their his audience. When was they would understand and connect with insurance do very clearly how Jesus was crucified with a 28. Was talking about how heavy are you. There I'll be there if only guilt in him and get golden of death, lost pilot to have him executed and he doesn't talk about the cross. But the Assumption Rosie people would know that they were Roman context. Execution was carried out through crucifixion, in any of those 2019 designing says window would carry out all the resort with indoor. Took him down from the tree. Right here, this is pretty with you guys or just saying Jesus died. He says they were doing the state and they executed him. All the while I'm laying in the bed with the flu, the scriptures. He says that they executed him and then after he died they brought him down from the tree. It is only a tell them how Jesus was being laid in the Tomb. And he reversed from 29 to feed the chicken that was in the tree in major Mattoon. I say this again, Jesus, where he just created Ed do this weather just passed out, he wasn't just, you didn't just couldn't appear as if he were dead. Was it played a couple days later say hi. I got you, Jesus died on that cross. The Son of God, gave his life for us on the cross. For you did not come down from the cross. He was taken down from the cross and laid in a tomb.
Jesus didn't just die. Jesus wasn't just buried his first 30, but God raised him from the dead. God raised him from the dead. And this then becomes the focus of Paul's message from here, on out, is the instruction in the moon and in the power of the Resurrection. In understanding the Jesus is the promised one would come to be the Savior cuz look at what he says his witnesses to the people and they told us where in the New Testament did over. 500 people saw Jesus after he was raised from the dead who had people. I talk to people eating, with Jesus, talk with Jesus watching, Jesus lived this life. It is 40 days between resurrection and Ascension back into heaven. It's a receiver that Jesus was raised from the dead. It is irrefutable historical proof of this. Inverse 32 to the heart of the message it says and we bring you the good news that what God promised to all the fathers this. He has fulfilled to ask their children by raising Jesus quotes. A couple Old Testament passages here, show me, not only the significance of the Resurrection with show route at the resurrection was something that was foretold that they'd centuries prior, because of his first song, number two, when he says you are my son today, I have begotten, you basically says that they teach the baby, I forgot. We're using Jesus from the dead confirmed in a phone for anyone who cared to listen to. This is my beloved Son, in whom I am. Well pleased. God raised Jesus from the dead before he has for the fact that he raised him from the dead. When we return to corruption, here is spoken in this way. I will give you the whole. I'm sure blessed with a David. Remember earlier, he talked about how David was giving a little cake and where it is. Also there's 23 would come and be brought to Israel as a savior. Jesus is the one who that is and how he says it in Jesus, in the resurrection of Jesus, every single promise that has been given to the people of Israel, the promise of David particular that you will forever be enthroned as the king. That promise is not to be feared. In the resurrection is proof that Jesus is the one who fulfills it. Another song, Someone touch because you will not let your Holy One. See, corruption is David who wrote the song already. Took that first 36th. David after he served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep there to Bible word for he died and was buried with his father's in the grave. Just like your tracking so far. Right, he died. He was buried. But he saw corruption his body stay in the tomb was Jesus body, did not, but he whom God raised up. Did not see. Corruption is ideal for Israel. In so many ways, he was still a sinner. Riverside Casino. David was not the one who has to come. Jesus was He preaches, the gospel message through them since they carry all of this is historical facts in other scriptures that they understand the business. He's making a gray-bearded, scripture has been fulfilled promises have been fulfilled through the resurrection of Christ Alone. Verse 38, he gets to the heart of it. I want you to listen to this if your sleep and wake up. If you're not paying attention, pay attention to. You do for brothers that through this man through Jesus forgiveness of sins is Proclaim to you and I hate everyone who believes he's freed from everything that you could not be free by the law of Moses. Forgiveness and freedom. Good, as if you are, living your life in this world with any emotional. It all. I can only imagine, but there are times, it's not constantly screw you feel the weight of your sin. You feel in your nose that conviction will back you, you know that you have sinned against God and an interview, Brendan Grace, maybe like one of them or do I do it then? Forgiveness, because Jesus died on the cross because he was bored. And because he rose again, he is the one who can offer you this forgiveness. They look at most of the night, so I don't have forgiveness to clean to us, but I love those 39th and buy him. Everyone who believes in other words, we return from our city will put our faith in Christ alone. Is our Salvation that person who believes in such a way, is free food for everything, for which the law could not free. You just tells me that no matter even if I if I feel the weight of my son and I feel like, you know what, I want to keep working and doing that and prove that I am someone worthy of God's grace, the same. Can't do it. The law that God gave to Moses was never intended to save. What you would do, what you do internal life. It was given so that they would know who God was. He was given so they could see there soon. Return to him for forgiveness is not intended to say that you free us for anything. People who are with this point in history had, yes, they come back to the Lord in some ways that they were trouble. Is if the law is, what would we be doing them delivered? As if I think they will be perfectly according to the law that would be what would make them right before God and nothing could be further from the truth as far as telling them only the gospel only faith in Jesus frees us Cindy spanked us from sin. Please. Rest in the bed, with trying to be good enough for God because we can't. But God has made a way. Because guess what? This word freed. They have a fit note in your Bible. They're just like I do it all it really actually lose Justified. Justified declared innocent. You realize I took the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As for us, we will sail or die. I trust you to be my savior. I trust that your dad made for my signature. Resurrection is proving that in his report will be true life. I repented my sin and I put my faith in you completely. It doesn't just address it washes, our sin away, Put a clothes as innocent. A holy God. The law cannot do that. Good things cannot do that. Only stay in the blood of Jesus can do that. Boost Paul unequivocally, without shave without hesitation, declared the gospel, message to clear, the message to them and if it is, we go about and try to shine the light for Jesus Christ, you our community and our relationships. I'm just as guilty of this is everyone. I do not have a conversation with someone, they know who I am and I know I'm the pastor in the safe or Pastor. Yeah. I've been meaning to come to church and we'll have a little conversation about church or something like that but I can't handle that. I feel bad that maybe I've invited him in the church or something, but I didn't actually share the gospel with that person sometimes. What, what Muppet something good can come from that? The rest was sharing the gospel. With someone you're not giving me the solution to the problem. With they have, we're not answering the question that they have. And what am I to do with this point in my life? What am I to do with my eternity? Alabama's? Give me something to do it Sunday in 10.
We need to share the gospel message.
What does share the gospel message? I get back to the question, asked the beginning, we have to know the gospel message, we get to know the gospel better. It's a theater. I give you know Sunday's we spending time in the scriptures, we spend time with our savior in the Bible. Reading it in prayer, we spend time with one another, we spend time, speaking the gospel to ourselves speaking, the gospel to one another and we can become that one lighter cost gospel flute were able to speak to Boston in the any situation is fluid and how we can share the Gospel of Jesus Christ because we were so familiar with it and we eat at anybody that can we sleep it? And it becomes all that we have the most important part of us. So that we shared freely and without reservation and without hesitation One of us will do it perfectly all the time, but I guarantee you all of us can do it more clearly. if we share the message more consistently, Call very clearly. He laid out the saving message of the Gospel, but he wasn't through with this message. And if I won versus Paul puts the ball, into the court of his heroism and remind us that we must call for a decision. If you share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, It's great. We have to help people understand that this is now a decision and that set of facts, and every reality to which they must respond. Pause call to respond to the gospel, came in the form of a warning ticket versus 4841. Again, he's speaking to a group of Jewish people who flew with the law Sophie and probably a week late from a minor Prophet habakkuk, right? And people will be able to make sense of it because we were there for Less what he said and the profits should come about and he says look you scoffers astounded in Parish Brian do work in your days of work that you will not be. Even if one tells it to you, don't miss what I am doing. God says what I'm doing because you're busy looking somewhere else or looking for something else. They were looking at the law office of Lawrence going to save us. The Messiah came and they rejected him know he is using considered look for his come. Don't look anywhere else. Don't try to achieve salvation anywhere else and one was promises. Never come. Don't miss it. Don't resent. It wasn't. What I was saying is make I'm giving you the keys to Heather to give me eternal life and offer of eternal life, through with balls. In your court, folks make the choice. I say again, the gospel message is good news. It is only good news for those who respond to that offer of Salvation through faith in Christ.
rejecting the message of the Gospel, loser City, condemned state, Outside of a right relationship with the Lord. For us, this is a reminder that again like I said before, leaving in my own, with me through my own trying to be a witness in. The community mentioned, in the name of Jesus is good. But it is not sufficient as wonderful. And it leaves still simply lacking who share the Gospel of Jesus. It's always good to make sure the person to the people with whom you were speaking know that there is a decision that must be made that decision of what are you going to do with Jesus? Do you trust in his salvation? Or do you miss what God is doing in your life? Who you trust in his salvation? Will you continue on in your lost, Miss in condemnation? If we are ready to preach the Wonderful Name of Jesus, we need to make sure it includes. This type of the word that says, hey luck, you need to understand this applies to you.
Call clear, gospel message presentation and Conquer decision. As always, it's going to have an impact and it does indeed have quite the impact like Paul and Barnabas since we're reminder here, cuz they were going to respond to these things that we must address varied responses it, Miss share the gospel and sure in his last versus reverse 42, the end of the chapter we see is back and forth of people lying to me or the windshield washer pump all about this gospel message or even of your lord. And I think even says that they gave him the devil verse 42 but these things might be told them the next Sabbath end or excited. Thursday, I don't think in my almost four years now, pastor and someone has begged me to come back and share more of what I shared that particular day. It is, today, I'll be disingenuous. I'm just saying to have that type of response, hungry to hear, nor have there, been such an encouragement to call and wanted to spend time with them urging them to continue in the grace of God. In the next week when we see happening, is that these people who left that place, that cleared, and then going out and Sherry something weird spreads throughout the entire time, we were told of this food before the next Sabbath, almost the whole city gathered, to hear the word of the Lord. Praise God. If it is 1,000, people from Park City, to next Sunday, to hear the gospel message. Merry Christmas to you and to see what this crazy people over here do for an hour on Sunday morning.
Almost the whole city shows that it's going to be glorious, imagined or anticipated, the bloody is Dark. Cloud comes in out of nowhere. A 45, it says, but one of the Jew who saw the crowds they were filled with jealousy. Man, we talked about it on Sunday school, the more this morning the power jealousy has that can lead to literacy and simple action. Procedure that the jealousy of the Jews overflows. And they not going to sit there and decided to begin to contradict what? Paul spoken? Evil of violent all speaking evil against in the Saint Paul today, or come home, first to hear more from over here to remind me to send a message that they were. Even hear me ravage. Inviting people to come in here and now the 7th or speaking against it. Because they were jealous.
Do you have this time? And they could not imagine a world. In what state of Nigeria people gentile people who would also come to Earth to lower the understand the blessing of a relationship with God. They could not imagine a scenario where a man's, you could come and be saved by the grace of God. When did jealousy the begin? The contradicting to Revival Paul. We see Paul and Barnabas there, just go quietly. 31st 46 to speak out boldly This is it was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves. Unworthy of eternal life. They just Paul's right here to see. The only thing that makes us. Unworthy of eternal life is rejecting the offer of eternal life in Jesus Christ. There's not a soul on this Earth, it is Unworthy of eternal life because of who they are, where they were bored. But there's no love in the past, but let's see if they have committed. The only thing that makes this a ruby of eternal life is really like, this is eternal. Life is Hell before I sent Christ. Can you say no, thank you.
He says this is exactly what the Jews have done, it had refused this offer of Salvation, they refuse to see what God was doing. We let themselves in a condemned state. I'm ready to turn it off. And Paul says, we are now turning to the Gentiles Louis will be a pattern everywhere. He goes. We'll see it as we continued throughout asked what goes first to say. Goodbye again, speak fix the gospel to Jewish people, if they reject him and then buying bars, and then you're going to share the gospel with the Gentiles in that particular location. That's what he does here. Why did he do that? Look at their school, 27. He doesn't do it because, well, I'm mad at you. So need to go rub it in by sharing it with somebody else.
