Lesson 4637

 (Lesson 4637)(10-18-24) Acts 9:28-31 

   “And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.” 

 

  Today’s quote describes Saul staying in Jerusalem, where he boldly preached in the name of the Lord and debated with the Hellenists, who sought to kill him. The the leaders of the church then sent him to Tarsus for safety. The church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced peace, grew in numbers, and walked in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. ~
