Great Wisdom Comes From God


Listen Later

Acts 6:1-15

This chapter illustrates how the new church grew in numbers and added ministries such as a soup kitchen. The apostles did not want to neglect their main purpose of sharing the gospel in order to take care of this ministry, so they chose seven men to oversee it. One of those men was Stephen, who was known for his great wisdom, being full of the Spirit, and having a good reputation. He even performed signs and wonders because of his strong faith in God. It's important to note that the disciples were not only the 12 initially selected by Jesus, but included all those who believed in Jesus as the apostles spoke to them.

The main point of this chapter is that God is the source of all wisdom. While a person may have a good understanding, wisdom and full discernment of this world and God's word come from God. All who believe in Jesus have wisdom and discernment because it comes through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Today, I encourage you to come to Jesus to gain the discernment that can only be found in Him through His Holy Spirit. He desires to give it to all who come to Him. This wisdom and discernment are not just for the first church and men like Stephen, but for all of us.
