4th Week of Easter, Tuesday, 13-05-2025

Acts 11:19-26 / John 10:22-30

The missionary activity of the early disciples was not planned nor did it have much of a strategy. 

Firstly, it happened because of a persecution.

And at first the Good News was proclaimed only to the Jews.

Then some of the disciples went to proclaim to the Greeks.

And when the church in Jerusalem heard about what was happening, they sent Barnabas to find out what was going on.

So it seems that things just happened, but it was not what the disciples expected.

But it must be said that the Lord helped them, and a great number believed and were converted to the Lord.

All those surprises and unexpected events are witnesses to the power of God.

The proclamation of the Good News of salvation does not depend entirely on techniques or skills or strategy.

It is because the voice of God is heard that people will accept the message and be converted.

Let us pray and listen to the voice of the Lord.

So that when we speak, it is not us but the Lord who speaks through us.
