I think I may have mentioned this some years ago, but I can’t help it–this is one of the most amazing verses in the New Testament. Philippians 4: 21-23
“All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household.”
Caesar’s household? There were saints in Caesar’s household? St. Paul wrote this epistle sometime between 60 and 62 A.D.–and there were already Christian saints in Caesar’s household? And this in an age devoid of mass communications as we know them.This little verse suggests that Christianity’s growth was both fast and deep.
May God grant that this year’s Easter has power to draw more hearts to Jesus Christ, our Savior and our king: in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Yes! We celebrate Resurrection Day with great joy, and determination to spread the joy
as far as we can.
All that is needed is the person bold enough to bring it.
From what I can tell, Christianity burgeoned and grew so rapidly that it attracted a lot of attention, especially from a Roman government which saw this as a threat to their authority.
Our Congress needs more saints in it, the kind that go by our Constitution.
Those antichrists would just arrest and jail any saints who happened to be in their way.
