Turning The World Upside Down
Acts 17:1-15 The end of the American Revolutionary War was decided at Yorktown, Virginia, when General Charles Cornwallis of the British Army surrendered to General George Washington in 1781. This was such an unlikely outcome to the struggle for colonial independence that the defeated British army marched home to a song entitled "The World Turned Upside Down." As we know from history, The outcome of the Revolutionary War marks one of the most dramatic changes in world power that the world has ever seen. But, this change pales in comparison to the revolution that occurred during the first century with the entrance of Jesus Christ to this world. The coming of the Messiah meant that the world could never be the same again. The Book of Acts provides a historical record of this revolution, which centered around the birth and growth of the early church and the spread of the gospel from Jerusalem to Rome during the missionary journeys of the apostle Paul. Paul's second missionary journey provides us with two models that we can follow to accurately preach and discerningly hear God's Word. From verses 1-17 in the Book of Acts, we learn what it means to be 1. Truthbearers - Those who reason and explain the scriptures to others (vv. 1-9), and 2. Truthseekers - Those who receive and examine the scriptures (vv. 10-15) The early followers of Christ, led by the apostles and their disciples, upset many people with the life-changing truth of the gospel message. They turned the world upside down by boldly and accurately sharing the gospel message with everyone they encountered. Is this a fitting description of you? Have you upset people within your own sphere of influence by sharing the gospel with them? Have you boldly and graciously represented Christ, making Him known to them by your actions and behavior?
