    Three Portraits Of Salvation In Philippi

    Contributed by John Hamby on May 27, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,589 views

    Every morning and every evening the head of a Jewish household would pray, giving thanks that God had not created him “a Gentile, a woman or a slave.” It hardly seems coincidental that the first three conversions which take place at Philippi, come from those three despised categories.

    In parts of China, to ask a person how they are doing you ask them "Have you eaten?" Jesus gave the people bread to eat but He wanted to give them even more. He wanted to give them The Bread of Life that would satisfy their every need.

    Nearly 700 years before Jesus was born, Isaiah proclaimed a message of hope that we still hold tightly to today, a truth that shapes not only our holiday season but every moment of our lives. This miraculous child, Jesus, has changed everything.

    Christians quickly lose their desire to reach the lost; it's a fire that must be constantly rekindled. Paul's burning zeal was answered by the vision of a Man from Macedonia, calling for help. This vision had 3 effects on the Apostle Paul.
