Dear Friends in Christ,

Edwards Key points -

• Pilate just one more year to reign in Judea

• 12 brought for arrest

• Gamaliel (Paul’s teacher) suggests a “wait and see” attitude for this new sect.

My Thoughts-

• Ananias & Sapphira lie about holding back some of the proceeds of property sale and are struck down dead.

• The Church continues to grow in Jerusalem.

• The high priest becomes jealous of the new sect attracting people, arrests the leaders, angels do jail break.

• Church leadership wants to kill new sect leaders but one of the wise ones tells them if it is of God it will last - if it does not come from God ... it will fade. They whip them and let them go.

• They rejoice to be able to suffer for the name of Jesus. (v 3:41)

• They continued to teach regardless.
  (rerun from yesterday’s reflection.)

How are you living in the Christian community in the time of the COVID pandemic?

In Christ,

Dave Eitland
