PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Handelinge 10:39-48)

ELKEEN WAT IN HOM GLO ONTVANG VERGEWING VAN SONDES:

39. “En ons as apostels is getuies van alles wat Hy in Judea en in Jerusalem gedoen het. Die Jode het Hom vermoor deur Hom te kruisig,

40. “maar God het Hom drie dae later opgewek. Toe het God Hom laat verskyn,

41. “nie in die openbaar aan almal nie, maar aan ons vir wie Hy vantevore gekies het, om Jesus se getuies te wees, aan ons wat nà Sy opstanding uit die dood, saam met Hom geëet en gedrink het.

42. “Hy het ons toe opdrag gegee om aan almal te verkondig en te getuig dat dit Hy is, wat deur God beskik is om Regter oor almal te wees – diegene wat nog lewe, en dié wat reeds gesterf het.

43. “Van Hom getuig al die Profete dat elkeen wat in Hom glo, vergewing van sondes deur Sy Naam ontvang.”

44. Terwyl Petrus nog hierdie dinge sê, het die Heilige Gees op almal gekom wat sy boodskap gehoor het.

45. Die Joodse gelowiges wat saam met Petrus gekom het, was verbaas dat die Heilige Gees ook op die nie-Jode as geskenk uitgestort is.

46. Hulle het geen twyfel daaroor gehad nie, want hulle het die mense ongewone tale hoor praat, en hoe hulle God se grootheid besing. Petrus vra toe:

47. “Wat kan verhinder dat hulle met water gedoop word, noudat hulle, net soos ons die Heilige Gees ontvang het?

48. Toe het hy beveel dat hulle in die Naam van Jesus Christus gedoop word. Daarna het hulle hom gevra om ‘n paar dae daar te bly.

PEARL FOR EACH DAY:

(Acts 10:39-48)

EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM, RECEIVES FORGIVENESS OF SINS:

39. “And we are witnesses of all that He did, both in the country and in Jerusalem. They put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,

40. “but God raised Him on the third day, and made Him to appear,

41. “not to all the people, but to us who Had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with Him, after He rose from the dead.

42. “And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.

43. “To Him all the Prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His Name.”

44. While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the Word.

45. And the believers from among the circumcised who came with Peter were amazed, because the Gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles.

46. For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared:

47. “Can anyone withhold water for baptising these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”

48. And he commanded them to be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

(Ek vertrou die Heilige Gees van God om my van die korrekte Skriflesing gedeelte te voorsien elke dag, volgens u behoeftes en verwagtinge. Aan Hom kom toe alle eer, heerlikheid, krag, mag, majesteit, lofprysing, aanbidding, en danksegging, van nou af tot in ewigheid.

I am trusting the Holy Spirit of God to reveal the correct portion of Scripture to me every day, according to your needs and expectations. 

To Him be all glory, honour, power, might, majesty, praise, worship and thanksgiving, from now and forever more.)

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Handelinge 10:29-38)

GOD TREK NIE SEKERE MENSE VOOR NIE:

29. “Daarom het ek sonder beswaar gekom toe ek laat haal is. Ek vra dan nou waarom julle my laat haal het?”

30. Kornelius het daarop geantwoord: ‘Vier dae gelede was ek in my huis, besig om te bid, so teen drie-uur die middag. Skielik staan daar toe ‘n man met blink klere voor my.

31. ‘Toe sê hy vir my: ‘+Kornelus, jou gebede is verhoor, en God het jou bydraes vir die armes nie vergeet nie!

32. ‘*Stuur mense Joppe toe, en laat vir Simon met die noemnaam Petrus daar haal. Hy is ‘n gas in die huis van Simon, ‘n leerlooier wat naby die see woon.’+

33. ‘Daarom het ek dadelik mense na u toe gestuur, en u was so goed om te kom. Hier is ons nou almal voor God om te hoor watter boodskap die Here aan u gegee het.’

34. Toe antwoord Petrus: “Waarlik, ek begryp nou eers dat God nie sekere mense bo ander voortrek nie.

35. “In enige volk neem Hy diegene aan wat vir Hom ontsag het, en doen wat reg is.

36. “Julle weet tog dat God aan die volk Israel die Goeie Nuus gestuur het, dat daar Vrede met Hom is deur Jesus Christus, wat Here oor almal is.

37. “Julle weet ook self wat dwarsdeur Judea gebeur het; dit het van Galilea af begin nadat Johannes die Doper begin preek het.

38. “Julle weet ook hoe God Jesus van Nasaret met die Heilige Gees en met Krag gesalf het. Jesus het toe rondgegaan, orals Goeie Werke gedoen, en almal gesond gemaak het wat onder die mag van die duiwel was, want God was by Hom.”

PEARL FOR EACH DAY:

Thursday 16 May 2024.

(Acts 10:29-38)

GOD SHOWS NO PARTIALITY:

29. “So when I was sent for, I came without objection. May I ask then, why you sent for me?”

30. And Cornelius said: ‘Four days ago, about this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

31. and said: ‘+Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms have been remembered before God.

32. ‘+Send therefore to Joppa, and send for Simon, who is called Peter, he is lodging in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea.’+

33. ‘So I sent for you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence if God, to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.

34. So Peter said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality,

35. “but in any nation, anyone who fears Him, and does what is right, is acceptable to Him.

36. “As for the Word that He sent to Israel, preaching Good News of peace through Jesus Christ – He is Lord of all.

37. “You yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John the Baptist proclaimed.

38. “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with Power. He went about doing good, and healing all who who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”
