A Word of Exhortation

Acts 13:13-15 
13 Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. 14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. 15 And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.”

Saul now Paul took his team onward as John returned to God's work in Jerusalem.  They went into the Jewish synagogue on the prescribed day of worship and sat to listen to God's word being read.  When asked to say something to contribute, they began to speak.  So should we be respectful and look for opportunities God provides to bear witness to the words of life, the gospel of reconciling grace in God's Son.
