Know, Pray, Tell

Speaker: Rev. Mark Mueller


Scripture Focus: Acts 16:9–15, Revelation
21:9–14, Revelation 21:21-27, & John 16:23–33


Service Summary: The disciples thought they knew
what Jesus was saying, but it was before Easter, and they could
not understand. They would, “in that day,” that is, after Jesus’
victory and the Spirit’s gift of faith. Now we with them know
that He has overcome the world, all opposition, and even death
itself. John’s vision in Revelation depicts a perfect Jerusalem,
clear and beautiful, with the Lamb as its lamp. Anticipating such
nearness of God, in this our day we can pray, asking for whatever
we need, confident of our Father’s hearing. In the Reading from
Acts, Paul has to tell everyone about his Easter joy, and the
Lord opens Lydia’s heart. She is baptized and opens her home for
Paul and Luke to use to tell others. With the clarity of our
Spirit-given Easter joy, we know, pray, and tell!
