Steps of Faith~ 1st Saunday after Easter

Acts 5:27-32: Apostles told not to testify of Jesus, but they do so anyway for they must obey God over man.

Ps. 150: Praise God in his Holy Sanctuary with many interments. Let everything that is alive praise the Lord.

Rev. 1:4-8: John greets the 7 churches in Asia in the name of Jesus who...
 is the ruler over kings
 love us
 set us free from sin
made us a kingdom
is coming back

John 20:19-31: Jesus appeared to his disciples and they rejoiced. Jesus told them,"As the Father has sent me, so I send you." He breathed on them and told them to receive the Holy Spirit.
       Thomas was not with them and did not believe that Jesus was a live. So when Jesus came back to them again, he made sure that Thomas believed. Jesus did many other things before he went back to heaven.


Jesus appears to his disciples after he had risen from the dead. Thomas was not there and doubted their report. So the next time Jesus came to them, he made sure that Thomas saw and and believed. Jesus told him, "Blessed are those who do not see but believe. Then Jesus tells them, "As the Father sent me, so I send you."

The apostles obeys Jesus and goes out and preaches about how Jesus had died for peoples' sins, and rose from the dead. They were arrested for doing so. When they were told again not to preach about Jesus they said, "We must obey god more than man." (Acts 5:27-32).

John the Beloved was sent to a type of jail on an island. While he was there, he wrote to the 7 churches of Asia. "Greetings in the name of Jesus, the ruler of the kings, who loved us and set us free from sin, and made a kingdom. Prepare for he is coming back for us."

Because of what Jesus did for us, we should praise him in the Holy Sanctuary with many interments.If we are alive, and we are, we should praise Him with all of creation.
