GREAT JOY

 

Scripture Acts 15:3b they caused great joy to all the brethren . . . we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.- Acts 15:11

When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement. Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words.- Acts 15:31-32

Observation The disciples caused great joy and brought encouragement through God’s Word. They exhorted and strengthened  the brethren.

Application Spending time in, and sharing God’s Word, and His gracious  gift of salvation brings  great joy, encouragement, strength, and exhortation.

Prayer Father, thank You for Your grace, through Jesus. I, too, would rejoice and be encouraged through Your Word and be one who causes great joy, encouragement and exhorts and strengthens others.
