Acts: The Spread of the Gospel

This study is taken from John MacArthur's "Acts: The Spread of the Gospel." My prayer and goal for this devo is that we will learn more about how the early church laid the foundation for what we possess today, and that we would allow God to use us to turn our world upside for Him!

This will be an exciting journey, so encourage others to join you! I'm looking forward to the interaction we will have on this blog as we study the book of Acts!

The devos will differ in format from day to day, but two things are constant: 1) a daily reading, and 2) additional Scripture passages that are in bold. Be sure to read any and all of the readings/bold verses that appear so that you can see the full picture of what is taught that day.

Remember, you can access any of the previous devos that have been posted from the "Blog Archive" section on the left side of this page.

1. Kind of, he didn't feel like Jesus should be washing his feet. He was telling Jesus I'm not worthy of you washing my feet.

2. That once we are saved, we are clean from all of our sins and don't need to ask him to save us again. Salvation can't be lost.

3. He is showing them that we need to be humble and serve one another. We shouldn't act like we deserve everything.

responsive questions:

1.he probebly didnt feel worthy and he knew that this was the son of God. i think he is being humble because he doesnt feel good enough for Jesus to wash his feet.

2.that we are already saved, we just still sin sometimes and God needs to wipe that sin away.

3.he is trying to tell them that no one is greater than each other they are all equal, even judas is equal to them.no sin can come between human and God, not even murder and all sins are equal.

1.he was being humble when he said you will never wash my feet to Jesus but he wasnt when he asked him Lord are you going to wash my feet.
2.if we are not saved are sins are not washed away (forgiven) so we are dirty but if we ask the Lord to forgive us of our sins then we are one of his children and are clean.
3.all people are equal a master isnt greater than a servant and we should serve other poeple and be humble.

1.i think yes he was being humble cause i don't think he wanted to say no.

2.that when our sins are forgiven we are clean and same with the story when they washed their feet.

3.that we should treat others better than ourselves and bascilly even it was God he still washed the disciples feet.

2.God cleanses us from our sins.

3.He was an example to them and showed them to be servants to others.
