🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
Before His death, Jesus told a parable about a man who was taking a journey. He left his servants in-charge of his business and told them to take care of everything. He told them that he might return at any time. So he expected them to be constantly ready for his return. He also desired that his servants remain faithful to their tasks while he is away.

The parable is connected to the coming of Jesus and His expectations from us, his servants, as we wait for his return. Jesus ascended back to Heaven 40 days after His resurrection from the dead. The angels promised, "This same Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you saw him go up into heaven." (Acts 1:11, NLT).
Therefore, we must remain ready and not be:

• Misled by the confusing claims or speculative interpretations of what will happen.

• Afraid to tell people about Christ despite what they might say or do to us.
• Surprised by persecutions, but stand firm in faith in the midst of it.

• Disobedient to His commands.

Everyone should prepare to meet the Lord.

Lord, help me to be ready as I anticipate Your return, I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen

🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
In the closing verses of his letter, John delivers a profound reminder of the confidence believers have in Christ. He reassures us that eternal life is not a distant hope but a present reality for everyone who places their trust in Jesus.

This assurance should produce in us faith, peace, and confidence. It also transforms our approach to prayer. As God's children, we can come boldly before Him, assured that He hears us when we pray according to His will. Prayer therefore is not about persuading God to meet our desires but about aligning ourselves with His perfect purposes. When we pray in agreement with His will, we can rest in the confidence that He answers.

John also addresses the matter of sin, urging us to intercede for fellow believers who are struggling. This reminds us that assurance of salvation does not exempt us from responsibility toward one another. Rather, it calls us to walk in love, lifting others before God in prayer.

Finally, John closes with three unshakable truths for every believer:
1. We are children of God, though the world lies under the sway of the evil one.

2. The Son of God has come, giving us understanding so we may know the true God.

3. We are in Christ, who is Himself the true God and eternal life.

These truths anchor our faith amid a world filled with uncertainty and deception. Our security is not in circumstances but in Christ, who is our life.

🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
In our text today, Jesus prepares His disciples for the harsh realities of discipleship and emphasizes the necessity of endurance, unwavering trust, and holy courage in the Christian journey.
1. *Betrayal from Family* (vv. 21-22). Jesus warned that loyalty to Him would provoke division, even among family members. Hatred and betrayal would come because of His name. Yet, He promised salvation to those who endure to the end. Discipleship carries a cost, but endurance secures the reward.

2. *Fleeing Persecution* (v. 23). Jesus instructed His disciples to flee to another city when persecuted. This was not cowardice but wisdom, ensuring the continued spread of the Gospel. Opposition should not silence the message; it should propel it forward.

3. *The Disciple is Not Above the Master* (vv. 24-25). Jesus reminded His followers that if He, their Teacher, was maligned and persecuted, they too would face slander and hostility. To share in His mission means also sharing in His sufferings.

4. *Do Not Fear Persecutors* (vv. 26-28). Believers are urged not to fear those who can destroy the body but cannot touch the soul. True reverence belongs to God alone, who has eternal authority. This perspective shifts fear from men to the Almighty, strengthening courage in trials.

🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
In our text today, Jesus prepares His disciples on how to face the realities of hospitality, rejection, opposition and persecution--and assures them of the Holy Spirit's wisdom and guidance.

1. Finding a Worthy Household (vv. 11-13). Jesus directed His disciples to seek out receptive households in every town they Visited. This teaches us to discern where God has prepared hearts for His message.
2. Sheep among Wolves (v. 16). Jesus likened His disciples to sheep in the midst of wolves, highlighting the dangers of opposition. Yet, He instructed them to be "wise as serpents and hamless as doves." This balance of discernment and innocence remains essential for believers who must engage the world without compromising their witness.
3. Persecution by Authorities (vv. 17-18). The disciples were warned that they would be delivered to councils, beaten in synagogues, and brought before rulers. Their trials, however, would serve a greater purpose: a testimony of Christ before the world's powers. Discipleship often involves suffering, but God uses it as a platform for witness.
4. The Holy Spirit's Guidance (vv. 19-20). Jesus reassured His disciples not to worry about their defense when arrested. The Holy Spirit would give them the words to speak. This promise reminds us that God never abandons His servants; He equips them with divine wisdom and boldness in their hour of need.

🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
Our text today, shows us the moment Jesus entrusted His disciples with divine authority and commissioned them for their frst mission. The nature oftrue discipleship walking in Christ's authority, proclaiming His message, and depending on God's provision.

1. Authority Given to the Disciples (v.1) Depicts the fact that true ministry is never rooted in human strength but in the power of Christ working through His servants.
2. The Names of the Twelve Apostles (vv.2 4) His disciples were mainly ordinary men. This shows us that He equips those He calls, proving that willingness is more important than worldly status.
3. The Mission of the Disciples. (vv.5–6) Jesus directed His disciples first to the "lost sheep of Israel." This shows the divine order of God's plan: the Gospel was to be proclaimed first to Israel before being extended to the nations.
4. Their Message. (v.7). Every disciple today carries the responsibility: to proclaim the good news of God's Kingdom.
5. Power Demonstrated. (v.8) The Kingdom is not merely spoken about; it is demonstrated with God's power at work in people's ives.
6. Dependence on God's Provision (v.9-10) underscores theprinciple that God provides for His servants and that ministry isn about service, notpersonal gain.

🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
In Acts 2:31-40, Peter continues his Spirit-filled sermon on the Day of Pentecost, moving from proclamation to invitation. Having declared Jesus' resurrection and lordship, Peter now calls the crowd to respond. Here we see the essence of the gospel- repentance, forgiveness, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The message pierced the hearts of the people. They realized their guilt in rejecting and crucifying the promised Messiah. Convicted, they cried out, "What shall we do?" Peter's response remains timeless and clear:
• Repent--- Turn away from sin and turn toward God.

• Be baptized--- Publicly declare your faith in Jesus Christ.

• Receive forgiveness--- Be cleansed from sin and be reconciled with God.

Receive the Holy Spirit--- Experience God's indwelling presence and power for new life.

Peter ends with urgency: “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." The world then, as now, was marked by sin, rebellion, and judgement. The only way to escape is through faith in Jesus Christ. Today, the call still stands: repent, believe, be baptized, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
:In Acts 2:21-30, Peter continues his Spirit-inspired
sermon on the Day of Pentecost, declaring the very heart of the gospel salvation through Jesus Christ. He begins with a universal promise: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." This is the beauty of the gospel. Salvation is not confined by nationality, social class, gender, or past mistakes. It is a gift freely offered to all who turn to Christ in faith. No one is too broken, too guilty, or too distant for God's saving grace.

Peter reminds the crowd that God validated Jesus' identity through miracles, wonders, and signs. His life revealed God's compassion and power. Yet, despite this, Jesus was delivered not by chance, but in line with God's up to be crucified eternal plan. The cross was not an accident; it was the fulfillment of God's redemptive purpose.

Peter then proclaims the heart of our hope; the resurrection. God raised Jesus from the dead, breaking the power of death because it was impossible for death to hold the Author of Life.

The message of Acts 2:21-30 is clear: salvation is available today through faith in Jesus Christ. His death paid for our sins, His resurrection secured our victory, and His reign guarantees our eternal future.

Have you called on the name of the Lord? Salvation is not automatic; it requires a personal response of faith.

One of the most important parts of the body is the eye. Jesus confirmed this: "But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness...." Matt. 6:23. Your steps are bolder when your view is right. The man was created to walk in three-dimensional vision; The physical vision. With this, he relates to his earthly environment. The psychological vision is where he sees in the mind and thoughts. And the spiritual sight with which he sees into the spirit realm.

When God told Abraham, "Lift your eyes now and look from the place whereHe wanted Abraham to employ the three you are dimensions of vision without which it is impossible to see further.

Lot was a victim of a faulty vision and suffered irreparable consequences. Lot saw the fertile lush plains of Gomorrah and S***m but never saw their deprivation and the looming repercussions. His sights let him down.

Here are some possibilities that occur when we see rightly:
1. You make the right decisions when you see rightly.
2. Seeing rightly is the pathway to living rightly (Gen.26: 1-2, 12-14).
3. When you see rightly you are well-informed and secure (2 Kings 6:17).
4. When you see right, we can provide solutions (Exo. 1 5: 23- 25).

🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
God had already provided manna, which had everything the people of God needed for nutrition and which could be prepared in a variety of ways. But these people wanted more and began to ask for meat. Moreover, they began to compare their life in the wilderness with their life in Egypt. They implied that God could only provide His people with manna while Pharaoh had so many varieties for his slaves. As the Psalmist explained hundreds of years later, God's people doubted that He could set a table before them in the desert.

And God answered them. I will give you meat not just one night but for an entire month nonstop." When Moses reminded Him that the fighting men alone were over 600,000, He responded, "Is the
LORD'S hand waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not." And they saw, tasted and believed.

Next, God filled 70 elders with His Spirit so that they could feel
what Moses felt and partner with him in the ministry to the people.
This is an early sign of "I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh (Joel
2:28)". The more members feel what the pastor or leader feels, the easier it will be to run a church. Moses rejoiced at their elevation and scolded those who tried to limit the number of those to be filled with the Holy Spirit. That is a sign of a humble and mature believer. Pray that whatever burden God gives you, He will give to others.

Some people live in the delusion and captivity of "I am but a child" in the things of God. There are some who never grow out of being a child or thinking like a child. Such people give excuses for every failure. Sometimes too, others blanket them with, "'he is a
child." Often times, such excuses are made to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions or inactions.

Life really starts when you stop manufacturing excuses as to why you are not living it the way you were designed by God to live it. So, stop those childish excuses and confessions. Live your life and carry out your assignment according to God's word rather than what you think or
anybody else says about you. This was the message by God to Jeremiah: "Say not, "I am a child." Josiah became the king of Judah at the age of eight.

The life and times of Josiah is an indictment on many who attribute their failures to age. If God is with you no matter your age, you will fulfill your assignment.

What do you think of yourself? Rid your mind of this "I am but a child" syndrome. Live by what God is saying. Grow up!
