Song # 1971.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Acts we read in chapter 18 that Paul went from Athens to Corinth, where he met a Jew named Aquila and his wife Priscilla who had to leave Italy because Claudius ordered all Jews to leave Rome.
Paul left Athens and went to Corinth (Acts 18:1). There he met a Jew names Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them (Acts 18:2), and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them (Acts 18:3). Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks (Acts 18:4). When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ (Acts 18:5). But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles” (Acts 18:6). Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshipper of God (Acts 18:7). Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed in the Lord, and many Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptised (Acts 18:8).
Thought for today: your love for God can change the world, but don’t let the world change your love for God.
Thought for the future: Jesus holds the key to eternal life, let him unlock your heart and be with Him forever. Where will you spend your eternity?
