Travel Talks as we Walk with Jesus May 21
Monday
Then those people who accepted what Peter said were baptized. About 3,000 people were added to the number of believers that day. 42 They spent their time learning the apostles’ teaching. And they continued to share, to break bread,[d] and to pray together.
The apostles were doing many miracles and signs. And everyone felt great respect for God. 44 All the believers stayed together. They shared everything. 45 They sold their land and the things they owned. Then they divided the money and gave it to those people who needed it. 46 The believers met together in the Temple every day. They all had the same purpose. They broke bread in their homes, happy to share their food with joyful hearts. 47 They praised God, and all the people liked them. More and more people were being saved every day; the Lord was adding those people to the group of believers. Acts 2:41-47 ICB

Jesus said, “Believe me, woman. The time is coming when you will not have to be in Jerusalem or on this mountain to worship the Father. 22 You Samaritans worship what you don’t understand. We Jews understand what we worship. Salvation comes from the Jews. 23 The time is coming when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. That time is now here. And these are the kinds of worshippers the Father wants. 24 God is spirit. Those who worship God must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:21-24

Max Lucado in his book for “Cure for the Common Life.’ Writes; Paul gives this relationship rule for the church: Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.” Romans 12:10 NIV. The apostle plays the wordsmith here, bookending the verse with fraternal -twin terms. He begins with “philostorgos” (philo means friendly; Storgos mean family love.) and concludes with “Philadelphia” (“phileo” Means affection, “adelphia means brethren.) An awkward but accurate translation of the verse might be “have a friend/family devotion to each other in a friend/family sort of way.” If Paul doesn’t get us with the first adjective, he catches us with the second. In both he us the church is God’s family. And family is not singular but plural! You didn’t pick me. I didn’t pick you. You may not like me. I may not like you. But since God picked and likes us
both, we are family. Family is not singular but plural! And according to Romans 12 we are to treat each other as friends!
Who do we need to treat as a friend? How will we treat them?
