Jesus Pusher 154

I am a Jesus pusher!!! Peter preached a sermon explaining the Pentecost event. It brought such conviction three thousand Jews were converted to Jesus. This group joined the one hundred and twenty disciples to form the early church. Luke gives us a description of the state of this group as they developed into the body of Christ (Acts 2:40-47). The emphasis in this statement begins with “subtracting” (Acts 2:40). He quickly shifts the emphasis to “addition” (Acts 2:41). In other words, the new converts were removed from one group and added to another group. Each group is clearly defined, but the greater description is the group to which they are added.

The language of “subtracting” and “adding” is consistently used in the New Testament. Paul declares,“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,”(Colossians 1:13). “Light and darkness,” “love and hate,” “Kingdom of God and Kingdom of this world,” and “truth and deception,” are used to highlight “subtraction” and “addition.” There is not a third or fourth group! There are only two groups. We are either in the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Satan. We either walk in light or we walk in darkness. We cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24).I want Jesus as my Master! I am a Jesus pusher!!!
