Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Spiritual Renewal

DAY 17 OF 30

  

June 17

Introduction

Paul and his companions continue their missionary journey and arrive in Antioch in Pisidia, a Roman colony in Asia Minor. Paul delivers an important speech that outlines salvation history, beginning with God’s deliverance of the ancestors of the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. In verses 33 and 34, Paul quotes from Psalm 2:7 and Isaiah 55:3, pointing to Jesus as the fulfillment of the Scriptures.

Today’s Scripture: Acts 13:23 (GNT)

[Paul preached:] “It was Jesus, a descendant of David, whom God made the Savior of the people of Israel, as he had promised.”

Today’s Reading 

Acts 13:13-41

Reflect

Who invites Paul and his companions to speak to the congregation (verse 15)? How does Paul address those gathered to hear his message (verse 16)? What key events in Israel’s salvation history does Paul recount? To whom does Paul say the message of salvation has been sent (verse 26)? Who are the witnesses that Paul speaks of (verse 31)? In what ways can you be a witness for Jesus?

Pray

Sovereign God, as you promised, you sent Jesus to be our Savior. You are ever faithful, and I worship you each day and place my trust in you. Help me to be a witness for you and to proclaim boldly your message of love and salvation. Amen.
