In a world full of bad news, we are all wanting to hear good news. What we usually receive is good advice, which is welcome but fails to animate our lives. In Acts 10:34-43, we have an early sermon by Peter, in which he clearly and simple spelled out for us the good news about Jesus.
The chief priest could not control his wicked sons, so God removed them all and raised up the one who could intercede between humans...
Because they questioned and rejected Jesus’ authority, the chief priests were removed from their post and replaced by others from all the nations.
The church in Thessalonica not only followed worthy examples but also became one itself.
