Teaching - Until the End, to the Ends of the Earth

Teaching - Until the End, to the Ends of the Earth

- January 30, 2022

“Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”

For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!

Acts 28:28-31

[This is the 15th lesson of this series]

These four verses mark the end of the Book of Acts as written by Luke. This will make it appear that the Book of Acts didn't end. Technically we can say that it continues to this day.

The Book of Acts is an open ended book, its stories continue on with the testimonies of believers as the Holy Spirit works (acts) through them.

Teaching Through the Centuries

Evangelists, teachers and believers from every tribe and every nation, in every generation since the 1st century have added their testimonies into the unwritten eternal Book of Acts as they continue to believe in Christ, make disciples and bring the gospel to the ends of the earth.

Teachers can teach only until there is time left to teach. Servants of the Lord can only work until it is daytime. When the work day is over, time for work is done. And it is time for all of us to come back home.

The Shepherd and His Flock

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10 (NIV 84)

Disclaimer

If you have issues with Hillsong or Bethel or Elevation or any of the so-called heretical churches or preachers, we are not condoning any false teachings. There is always something we can find wrong in all churches, including the one we call ours. But there is one faith, there is one baptism, there is One God, there is One Spirit and One Savior, Jesus Christ. If we agree on all these then let's all work together for good. The Lord is coming back. Let us stop wasting time with nitpicking, criticizing other believers because they wear strange clothes or sing weird songs, or read a version of the bible we don't, or speak in tongues or do or believe something which we don't, instead let us do what God has really called us to do. God has called each one of us to do something. Let's do that.
