Would you be willing to sacrifice your eternity in heaven if it meant your friends or loved ones could experience it? If we’re honest, most of us would say no. Fortunately, God would never call us to do that. He loves us too much. As Pastor Eddie reminds us in today’s message, Jesus sacrificed Himself for us. He was without sin, but He took on ours, freeing us from condemnation.

Our God is a loving Father who cares about the things that are important to us. For Paul, his people, the Jews, were important to him. He had been successful in ministering to the Gentiles, but he longed to bring the Gospel to his own people. As Pastor Eddie explains in today’s message, this desire of Paul’s fit within God’s will. As we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will see our desires reflecting those of our Father in Heaven, and He will fulfill them.

Paul tells us in Acts to imitate him in the same way he imitates Christ. One of the main characteristics of Jesus is His selflessness. As Pastor Eddie points out, throughout His ministry, Jesus was constantly giving. And He ultimately bore our sin and suffered death for all of humanity. That includes the people who wanted Him dead. What would our lives look like if we imitate that kind of selflessness?

In today’s message, Pastor Eddie examines the role of a Pastor as an “under-shepherd”. There are many false shepherds in our world, calling believers and unbelievers towards false doctrine. Our Pastors can help make us aware of doctrine that disagrees with Scripture, but we need to do our part and be wary of popular ideas that can lead us astray. We need to spend time with the Holy Spirit in His Word so we avoid the enemies’ deception.

As we continue our examination of the book of Acts, we continue to learn from the great example of the Apostle Paul. By the grace of God, he lived a life utterly devoted to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ no matter the cost. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie challenges us to take on that mindset. Don’t worry if the world persecutes you. You have the hope of heaven and they can’t take that away from you.
