Deaf Devo in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Good News for All" for Friday, 24 June 2016
"Good News for All"
Bible Reading: Acts 8:4-8, 14-17
Acts 8:5 Now Philip went down to a city in Shomron and was proclaiming the Messiah to them; 6 and the crowds were paying close attention to what Philip said, as they heard and saw the miraculous signs he was doing. 7 For many people were having unclean spirits driven out of them, shrieking; also many paralytics and crippled persons were being healed; 8 so that there was great joy in that city.

14 When the emissaries in Yerushalayim heard that Shomron had received the Word of God, they sent them Kefa and Yochanan, 15 who came down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Ruach HaKodesh. 16 For until then he had not come upon any of them; they had only been immersed into the name of the Lord Yeshua. 17 Then, as Kefa and Yochanan placed their hands on them, they received the Ruach HaKodesh.

When Jesus left this earth, He gave His disciples a huge responsibility. He gave them the job of sharing the Good News about salvation with all people.
In our Bible Reading today, we learn that Philip healed some Samaritan people and told them about Jesus. The Jews and Samaritans had been enemies for many years. Most Jews would not even associate with a Samaritan.
In these verses we read that the message about Jesus can overcome social barriers. When Jesus' disciples heard that the Samaritans had accepted the news about Jesus, they sent Peter and John to Samaria. They "prayed for the Samaritan believers to receive the Holy Spirit" (verse 15).
Today we have the job of sharing the Good News about Jesus with all people. But maybe there are some people who are different from you or maybe you just don't like them. Ask God to help you break down these barriers so that you can share Jesus with everyone you meet.[DF]
"On their way, they went through many Samaritan towns and told people the Good News."[Acts 8:25b]
PRAYER: Dear God, I want to share Your love with everyone I meet today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
