—Acts 15:12-21
by: Gabi Patz.
The night before my freshman year of high school, I was completely overwhelmed. How would I navigate such a big school? Luckily for me, some amazing upperclassmen volunteered to come to school a day early just to help first year students have a smooth transition to the school. They showed us the ropes and even walked us to our classes to make sure we did not get lost. In this passage, we are instructed to do the same for new believers. Rather than making new Christians feel outcast, shamed, or lost, we are told to welcome them in, teach them what it means to be a believer, and rejoice in their salvation.
