Reading: Acts 22 and Genesis 46-47
Scripture: Acts 22:28, The tribune answered, “I bought this citizenship
for a large sum.” Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.”
Observation: Back in Paul’s days those who were roman had
rights, like today in the USA there are those of us who have been born a US
citizen and others who have gone though the process of becoming citizens and
others who are here but are not citizens at all. So this official who is
talking to Paul paid lots of money for the rights that Paul was given.
Application: We were all born into this worlds citizenship
and there is a very large price to become a citizen of haven. We had that price
paid for by Jesus and though his death on the cross we all been offered that
citizenship of haven. We need to accept that gift and walk in that citizenship.
We are only sojourning here on earth after we die we will go home.
Prayer: Lord I thank you for your great gift of citizenship in
haven, forgiveness of sin and your blessings in this world. Help me to live as
that citizen and honor you each and every day.
