Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 5

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him from the dead: And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
Acts 13:26-31

Thoughts on the Book of Acts (109)
Paul had now reached the core of his sermon in the synagogue at Antioch: Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Messiah! He came to His people, but the religious leaders would not acknowledge Him. They rejected Him and demanded His death, not realising that their Holy Scriptures prophesied precisely that course of action. But not they alone, the Roman governor and with him the whole world were guilty of the death of the Saviour.
Paul preached a crucified Messiah, mentioning His burial and thereby underlining the fact that Jesus really died.
Israel responded to God's love with enmity and crucified His Son. But they could not extinguish God's love in so doing. God raised Jesus from the dead! Like the crucifixion, it was a historical fact that was testified by many witnesses.

LIFE IN ABUNDANCE 1

Under normal circumstances, no human being desires to be a nonentity.
