[Paul and Barnabas said:] “This is the commandment that the Lord has given us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, so that all the world may be saved.’ ”

Today’s Reading 

Acts 13:42-52

Reflect

How did Paul and his companions encourage the believers? Who opposed their message? What did Paul and Barnabas do? In what ways does the Holy Spirit fill you with joy?

Pray

Holy God, thank you that the Good News of your salvation is for all people. May all who hear the Good News and believe in you be filled with joy. Help me to be a light and share the Good News with others so that they will be led to you. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who experience persecution for sharing the Good News.
