4th Sunday after Easter

Acts 11:1-18: Peter testifies of how the gentiles received salvation & the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Ps. 148: All creation praise the Lord.

Rev. 21:1-6:New Heaven and earth/God's dwelling is with the human race/ I make all things new

John 13:1-35:Jesus washes his disciples feet, & tells of his death, & gives the the great commandment.

On the night that Jesus was to be arrested, he tried to prepare his disciples for what was ahead, his death. So he washes their feet and instructs them to serve one another. He also tells them of how he will be betrayed, & put to death. Peter proclaimed that he would follow him even into death. Jesus told Peter of how he would deny him that very night. Then he tells them to love one another (John 13:1-35). 

After Jesus dies, rises from the dead and returns to heaven, Peter is instructed by God to go and speak to Gentles of Jesus salvation. Those he spoke to accepted Jesus and received the Holy Spirit.When the apostles questioned him on it he explained it all to them(Acts 11:1-18)

John the beloved saw how in the future that the new heaven and earth will come & how Jesus will sit on the throne and dwell with mankind in the new earth. Jesus tells John, " I make all things new"(Rev. 21:1-6). When this happens all of the earth will rejoice. but we should not wait until that day, we should do so even now (Ps. 148).

Challenge of the Week:
What will you do to let others know what Jesus did for them this week? 
How will you praise the Lord?


Accomplishment of the week:
So, how did you do? What did you do?
