Protected By The Crowd!



'Protected By The Crowd.'
Mark 12:12. 
a)  They wanted to arrest Jesus
b)  Because they knew
c)  That He had told the Parable against them.
d)  But they were afraid of the crowd,
e)  So they left Him alone
f)  And went away. 
(This QT shows me that Jesus was sometimes Protected By The Crowd)
PRAY: That missionaries serving in hostile environments will be Divinely protected.

'Bewildered.'
Acts 2:6. 
a)  When they heard this sound,
b)  A crowd came together in bewilderment,
c)  Because each one heard their language being spoken by the Believers.
(Through this Second one I can see the people's initial response when they heard the Early Church Believers speaking languages that they had never learned... they were Bewildered)
PRAY: For clear and simple Teaching in the Churches about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Secondly, all people who are keen to evangelize the lost need God's Grace and Wisdom. The Gospel should never be shared in a 'foolish or offensive' manner. As the above picture reminds us... please pray for the safety of missionaries' children. 

The Christian Life!
