Acts 11:29 The disciples determined that according to their ability, each would send relief to the believers living in Judea;
A severe famine had struck the land in the time when the church was just growing. It hurt the people of Judea most. Those who had just come to hear about this Jesus all around the world heard about how the believers in Judea were suffering. And the Bible, with its typical understatement, reports a miracle.
No, it wasn't a miracle like someone who died walked again. It wasn't a miracle like the blind receiving sight.
Except that it was. People came to see a need. People came to see that they had ability to alleviate that suffering. And they did. It was a miracle. It was a miracle then just like it's a miracle each and every time it happens today.
Thank you for being a part of a miracle. It's a miracle when we send thousands of dollars to our sisters and brothers in Haiti, and in China, and in New Orleans, and in Palatine. Thank you for being part of a miracle.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
