Acts 14:1-13
14 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders. 4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles. 5 There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews, together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them. 6 But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, 7 where they continued to preach the gospel.
In Lystra and Derbe
8 In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. 9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed 10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” 12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. 13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman
"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." Romans 13:14
To be a member who is enjoying the Body life with all the other members is dependent on our daily life of following the Lord. The lesson in Romans 13 is that our daily life will affect the kind of church life we have. If we tell lies, cheat on our taxes, and are disrespectful and unruly toward authority, we could never know the church life in an organic way. To live in a fleshly way in any area of our life will cause us to be an insubordinate person who has no regard for spiritual authority and relationships in the Body.
We are not living one way at work and another way in the meetings of the church. No. When we throw off the works of darkness and put on the Lord Jesus Christ, making no provision for the flesh, this ushers us into an unfeigned church life that is full of Christ. Our daily living of Christ is a common factor between us all that prepares us for the building up in the church. Then, when we come to the practical church life, our capacity to receive the saints and keep the organic reality of the kingdom in our relationships is directly related to how much we have experienced Christ in our attitude toward people at work, in paying our taxes, and in dealing with fleshly habits (Rom. 14). How we have interacted with Christ in our daily life determines how we will interact with Him in the Body life. This is the significance of Romans 13-- that we would experience Christ in all the areas of our daily life. Our experiences of Christ are carried directly over into our thoughts, views, and concepts in the church life
