PASSAGE: Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven, Matthias Chosen To Replace Judas
MEMORY VERSE: "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels" -Mark 8:38
NOTES: (v.1-11) When the disciples asked what Jesus was going to do, he replied, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
-(v.12-26) Judas had bought a field with the money he received for his wickedness, and there he fell and his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out (O_O). Thus, Psalm 109:8 was fulfilled.
Because of this, they had to choose another man to replace Judas: two men were proposed: Joseph and Matthias. They prayed, for God knows everyone's heart, and cast lots. The lot fell to Matthias, so he was added to the apostles.
ACT OF LOVE: Today, I:
-Offered to throw away my friend's trash
-Offered to take out the trash at home
-Offered to clean up Bambi's poop and throw it in the trash.
Yeah, that's right. I'm trashy.
Just playin. I partly did this because trash-oriented chores are my LEAST favorite chore to do (probably my slightly-germophobic side coming out), so offering to do the last two were significant for me. One thing I HATE is cleaning up the dog's poo--for a small dog, he certainly has a lot coming out of him. AND, he scatters it across the yard so that I must SEARCH for it. So recently, I've been trying to challenge myself by doing things that I hate doing, because chances are, other people hate doing it as well.
