We Still Have A Promise

 

Today's verse is Acts 13:23

Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: 

    Yesterday, as I read in Jeremiah, He told Israel, that it was too late, that to save their lives they must surrender to Nebuchadrezzar. However, today, I read how God told Jeremiah to tell the king, that if he were to Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. . . (Where is such being done today?) So, God would spare, and the king's throne would continue, and his line would continue to reign. They (he) did not repent. But from the foundation of the World, God the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and all that in them is, has left us a promise that he would send a Saviour, (not only to Israel as promised above, but to the whole world) this he did, even Jesus Christ, who died in our place, and rose up the third day, that all who Trust in him, and Repent of the way of the leaders (who blindly follow the counsel of the Wicked One, having deceived many) shall have life eternal, and by his Spirit shall be given Power to overcome in this wicked day. Will you follow him and his Way today? Amen.

To God be the Glory
