Song # 1968.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Acts we read in chapter 17 that Jews who were jealous and opposed Paul and Silas brought in crowds to stir up the people, so the Brothers sent Paul and Silas away from Thessalonica to Berea for their safety.
As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue (Acts 17:10). Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true (Acts 17:11). Many of the Jews believed, as did a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men (Acts 17:12). When the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, they went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up (Acts 17:13). The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea (Acts 17:14).
Thought for today: you can follow a worthy cause, but be sure the cause is worthy.
Thought for the future: we depend on our hope for the future, and our future depends on our hope. Where will you spend your eternity?
