verses read: Galatians 2:1-10, Proverbs 11:13
prayer: 5 minutes
I’m up very late today. Overslept; completely exhausted by the exertions of yesterday morning, afternoon and then at night. Very tired. I’m late for service, but will still be going for YM later.
Anyway, this portion of Galatians speaks of Paul returning to Jerusalem to seek counsel with the leaders of the church. Some had accused him of preaching falsely and he had gone to verify what he had been preaching with the leaders. But they vindicated him, and even extended their right hand of fellowship with him. That probably means that they recognised his authority as a fellow apostle. One important thing that this passage does speak about is how Paul was called to preach to the Gentiles, and how Peter, James, John were called to preached to the Jews. In terms of customs, both were different audiences, but the Gospel was consistent to both.
A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret. – Proverbs 11:13
