Study 26 From The book of Acts Is: Acts 14:1-12
Paul continues his missionary visits to the
towns and cities of Asia Minor. He always chose the strategic centres from
which to work. Iconium was a prosperous commercial city on one of the main
trade routes from east to west, where there would be both Jews and Gentiles.
Lystra was a smaller and more country town, with a simpler and less-educated
population.
- Each
verse of verses 1-7 describes a fresh development in the events at
Iconium. From these identify the
three main stages of the work. Are
you finding that opposition (human or satanic) follows blessing in your Christian
work?
- Verses
8-12. At Lystra a cripple is
healed. What are (a) the condition
of the man, (b) the cause and the character of his faith, and (c) the
reaction of the people?
