June 9
Introduction
Paul travels to Ephesus and teaches about being baptized in the name of Jesus. He stays in Ephesus for two years, teaching in the synagogue and lecturing in the hall of Tyrannus. Miraculous healings accompany his preaching. The practice of magic is incompatible with belief in Jesus, and the reading concludes with an account of those who had practiced magic disclosing their practices and burning their books.
Today’s Reading
Acts 19:1-20
Today’s Key Verse: Acts 19:8
Paul went into the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly with the people, holding discussions with them and trying to convince them about the Kingdom of God.
Reflect
What happened when Paul baptized the disciples he encountered in Ephesus? Tyrannus was a philosopher who probably lectured in the hall bearing his name. How do you envision the discussions Paul held with those who came to hear him speak? Where and with whom do you discuss matters of faith? What happened after those who practiced magic burned their books? How is the Word of the Lord being spread today?
Pray
Almighty God, I trust in you and in your Word. Fill me with your Spirit so that I reflect your love and grace. May those who do not know you be drawn to you this day. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Seminary professors
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 19:21-41: Trouble erupts in Ephesus.
