Verse of the Day 2/26

Acts 5:19-20

New King James Version

19 But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 "Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life."

The Apostles had been arrested for preaching the gospel.  While there, an angel of the Lord delivered met them,, opened the prison doors and told them what he wanted them to do.  "Go", stand in the temple and procliam the words of this life", the life of being a Christ follower, serving Him and making Him famous.

We may not have been let out of a jail cell, or suffered any persecution for telling others about Christ, but we have been set free from the punishment of our sins, past, present, and future if we have put our faith and trust in Christ.  We should not hold back on speaking the "words of life".  

1. Sing them over again to me,
   Wonderful words of life;
   Let me more of their beauty see,
   Wonderful words of life.
   Words of life and beauty
   Teach me faith and duty;
   • Refrain:
     Beautiful words, wonderful words,
     Wonderful words of life;
     Beautiful words, wonderful words,
     Wonderful words of life.
2. Christ, the blessed One, gives to all
   Wonderful words of life;
   Sinner, list to the loving call,
   Wonderful words of life.
   All so freely given,
   Wooing us to heaven;
3. Sweetly echo the Gospel call,
   Wonderful words of life;
   Offer pardon and peace to all,
   Wonderful words of life.
   Jesus, only Savior,
   Sanctify forever;

Blessings,

Mike
