4-17

Look at it from the original audience's

point of view

- The vision happened three times

- Seven men gave testimony

- Triggered a memory of Jesus' teaching

The church's response

- In the collective

- They fell silent

- They glorified God

When we fail to report what God is doing we withhold the praise and glory God should receive.

We owe God the praise and glory He deserves

We should share so that others can also glorify God

Matt 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

We, as a church, should glorify God together for what He is doing around the world.
