Daily Bible Reading – May 2021 God’s Word of Spiritual Renewal

31 天中的第 21 天

May 21

Introduction

The followers of Jesus begin to preach the Good News outside of Jerusalem. Philip goes to Samaria and preaches to the people there. Peter and John also arrive in Samaria, and the Samaritans receive the Holy Spirit when Peter and John place their hands on them. Simon, a magician, offers Peter and John money in order to obtain the same power that Peter and John possessed, and Peter rebuked him.

Today’s Scripture Reading: Acts 8:4-25

Today’s Key Verse: Acts 8:12

When they believed Philip’s message about the good news of the Kingdom of God and about Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

Reflect

Why did Simon the magician think that the Spirit of God could be bought? What was his motive for wanting this power? Peter and John placed their hands on the believers, a gesture that was used in healing or giving a blessing (Mark 1:41, 10:16; Acts 28:8), choosing someone for a special task (Acts 6:6), or when passing on the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:17). Is the laying on of hands done in your community of faith? If so, when?


Pray

Lord God, thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit. Help me to be guided by your Spirit each day so that all I do and say brings glory and honor to you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are commissioned for ministerial roles in the church


Tomorrow’s Reading

Acts 8:26-40: Philip baptizes an Ethiopian official.
