Reading: Acts 2:
39-41
“’For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are
far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with
many other arguments and exhorted them saying, ‘Save yourselves from this
corrupt generation.” So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that
day about three thousand persons were added.”
Not a one time deal with a clock ticking down the minutes to
expiration.
Throughout every generation. Timeless. Cannot be revoked because the
Lord God Almighty has given His word. His covenant—which stands forever.
Each generation also faces corruption. Each has the opportunity to
challenge falseness—resist lies—refuse—choose forgiveness.
One to one—heart to heart—unlimited.
What a hope to cherish alongside our children and grandchildren. What
a gift to pass on to them. Even though we cannot choose for them we can pray.
Share the truth. Share our struggles. Share the changes a life with Christ
brings.
Lord, give us Your words to reveal Your promise to our family and
friends and strangers that none should be lost or denied Your message of life
everlasting. Help us to face our own darkness so that our words and our actions
are in sync with Your light.
Psalm of Worship: Psalm 27: 2
“When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—they shall stumble and fall.”
