On to Jerusalem

Acts 21:1-17

On to Jerusalem

After we had torn ourselves away from them, we put out to sea and sailed straight to Kos. The next day we went to Rhodes and from there to Patara. 2 We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail. 3 After sighting Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria. We landed at Tyre, where our ship was to unload its cargo. 4 We sought out the disciples there and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. 5 When it was time to leave, we left and continued on our way. All of them, including wives and children, accompanied us out of the city, and there on the beach we knelt to pray. 6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home.7 We continued our voyage from Tyre and landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and sisters and stayed with them for a day. 8 Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. 9 He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.10 After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” 14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”15 After this, we started on our way up to Jerusalem. 16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus and one of the early disciples.Paul’s Arrival at Jerusalem17 When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters received us warmly.

July 18 God's Jesus, my Repairman

“You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.” ISAIAH 58:12
Draw near to God. Draw near, not after you adjust yourself, but before you even try. Because the blood has been shed, we can enter into God — the real Savior. He is the real Repairer. He is the real Healer. He is the One who cleans up our heart. He is the real Cleaner-upper. He is the real Restorer. He does all this, and He does it while we are in contact with Him.
Being oriented to Christ in my experience means that I am in contact with Him — no longer living to myself but to Him. My point of reference is no longer me. My point of reference is Christ. For example, if I am broken down, and I need some repair, then I need to go to the Repairman. Jesus is my Repairman. I do not know how to fix anything. I am just simple to come to Jesus. This is what I appreciate about some saints. They have their weaknesses, but amazingly, even in their frailty, weaknesses, and feelings of failure, they still have that boldness to just keep coming to God. Sometimes we may wonder how a saint could be testifying in a meeting so boldly when they are feeling so weak. But this is the right way — “Just as I am, without one plea . . . Fightings within and fears without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.” Just like that. And He does the work in us.
