Passage of the Day - January 5, 2011

Acts 18:6

 ⁶But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

Just like the master who told his servant to stop asking his friends and neighbors to come to his banquet and instead find the lowly people, Paul, God’s servant, was to now forsake the Jews and focus on gathering the Gentiles into Christ’s kingdom.
