i’m picking up my bible again, and i have decided to read a chapter a day starting with acts. i will be posting alot so if you dont want to be flooded by my posts then i would unfollow…
acts 1
It begins with the apostles being very confused with what to do. Their teacher, Jesus, left them, and they were lost. This confusion is exactly what we do when we feel a dry spell where we can’t find God in our lives and it seems that he has disappeared. Like the apostles, we dont know what to do, so we go back to our old habits. Lucky for the apostles, Jesus came back soon.
As i continued reading, I stumbled upon a problem. In Acts 1:18 it says Judas fell headfirst and his body exploded. In Matthew 27:3-10 it says that he hung himself. The only explanation i found is that he hung himself, and then after a while he fell and his body “exploded.” this is a very weak answer, as in Acts it said that he fell head first which is pretty hard to do if being held by the neck with a rope. Sadly, i dont have a better answer.
Towards the end of chapter 1, it was interesting when they were choosing between two followers to replace Judas, Matthias and Barsabbas. They chose by casting lots, or gambling. This was very funny because it could be very easily misinterpreted as, i will gamble, and if God wants me to lose my money, so be it.
