Daily Bible Reading – June 2022: God’s Renewing Word of New Life in the Spiritគំរូ

June 17

Introduction

Paul and Barnabas are invited to return to the synagogue in Antioch, and many Gentiles receive their message with joy. Others, however, seek to expel them from their region.

Scripture Reading

Acts 13:42-52

Today’s Key Verse: Acts 13:47

[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.’ ”

Reflect

How did Paul and his companions encourage the believers? Who opposed their message? What did Paul and Barnabas say to them (verses 46, 47)? In their response, they quoted from Isaiah 49:6. How did the believers receive their message (verse 48)? 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 be a light and share the Good News with others so that they will be led to you. Amen.
