Today we are back in the book of Acts and so much is going on with Paul in this chapter. The Jews are very unhappy with Paul because he is challenging their belief in the Law as the absolute solution to a righteous life. Paul is unwavering and courageous in preaching the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ, but pays for it dearly as they beat him and try to take his life. The key learning today for me is knowing that sometimes doing what is expected by God may lead to doing things that are against what others believe. We are not to go around picking fights, but there are things which even the modern church calls “holy” which should be questioned and shouldn’t be part of our doctrine as believers in the saving grace of Christ’s blood. We must remember to only make holy things holy and the rest needs to be discarded as nothing more than distractions that keep us from a authentic relationship with Jesus.
