TEXT: Acts 13:26-41

26. “Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.

27. For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him.

28. And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.

29. Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

30. But God raised Him from the dead.

31. He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

32. And we declare to you glad tidings-that promise which was made to the fathers.

33. God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’

34. And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the sure mercies of David.’

35. Therefore He also says in another Psalm: ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’

36. “For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

37. but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.

38. Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;

39. and by Him all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40. Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:

41. ‘Behold, you despisers, Marvel and perish! For I work a work in your days, A work which you will by no means believe, Though one were to declare it to you.”

(New King James Version Holy Bible)

TOPIC: IGNORANCE IN THE CHURCH

There could be thousands of people in the Church who seem to be very committed but have very poor knowledge of the Lord of the Church! They are ignorant of the message of salvation.

Paul addressed the brethren in his time, lamenting over their display of ignorance, how they refused to recognize Jesus as had been written but condemned Him and even asked Pilate to have killed.

It is possible that you have been in the Church for a long time but have little or no knowledge of Jesus. The time has come for you to make moves that will help you know Him. Church leaders must also teach their members to know Jesus Christ.

QUESTION: Are you very religious but have little or no knowledge of the Lord of the Church, Jesus Christ?

PRAYER: Help me, Father, to know You better by reading, hearing and meditating on Your Word. Amen.
