Thought Questions:
A. What
common sense lessons can we learn
from Jethro? God expects us to serve as we are able,
but He does not
expect us to do it all. Everyone is expected to serve, so it is good for us
to share in our service to the Lord. Acts 6 gives us this very example.
There was too much work for the apostles alone. They appointed men to help
so that they could be about the preaching of the gospel . Today we still
have deacons who take care of the day-to-day business, as in Acts 6, and
elders to oversee and care for the flock. We also still have evangelists who
preach the gospel.
Everyone has a job to do so that no one is overwhelmed.
B. Why is obedience to God
necessary? To be pleasing to Him and receive
His blessings. It easy to see this as we study the Old Testament and God
repeatedly says, "Obey Me and I will bless you." Eph 1:3 says He has blessed
us with every spiritual blessing in Christ . We must first acquire faith by
hearing (Rom 10:17), believing (John 3:16), repenting (Acts 2:38), and
confessing (Rom 10:10), and being baptized (Mark 16:16). THEN, we must
continue steadfast I cor 15:58, Rev 2:10. We must be obedient to Him!!!! Eph
5 :3-7 gives us a list of unacceptable activities. Verse 10 and following
says we are to find out what is acceptable and have nothing to do with the
works of darkness. Let us continue to study in an effort to "find out what
is acceptable," so that we might obey and be pleasing to Him.
