MONDAY- 6TH WEEK OF EASTER -C

I Reading: Acts 16:1-10: The Lord opened her heart to accept what Paul was say.

Gospel: John 15:26-16:4: The Spirit of truth will be my witnesses.

The Relationship of Believers to Religionists: Persecution, 16:1-6

This passage deals with the relationship between believers and the religionists of the world.

1. Jesus warned that religionists would persecute believers (v.1)

2. The persecution: Worship will be forbidden (v.2)

a. Will be put out of worship and killed

b. To be done by religionists

3. The reason for the persecution: The religionists do not know God nor His Son (v.3)

4. The preparation for persecution (v.4-6)

a. The believer must expect persecution and not be caught off guard

b. The believer must know that God is and that Jesus reigns

c. The believer must keep his mind on his/her destiny

d. The believer must call upon the Holy Spirit

Thought: False religionists do not see how there can be only one way to God. They conclude that Jesus Christ is not the only WAY, the TRUTH and LIFE.
