Pride & Power – April 14, 2016

Today’s Translation: The Message | Weekly Video: Spirit of Restoration (Acts 8:9-25)

“When Simon saw that the apostles by merely laying on hands conferred the Spirit, he pulled out his money, excited, and said, ‘Sell me your secret! Show me how you did that! How much do you want? Name your price!’” – Acts 8:18-19 (MSG)

Some people just don’t get it. Jesus came to serve, not to be served. And then He called His disciples to go and do likewise. Simon was concerned about his public image, but God is concerned with our hearts. So, what motivates you? Do you put your money in the plate expecting to be blessed, or do you dedicate everything in your life to His kingdom cause? You can’t buy what is freely given. The Holy Spirit can’t be bought.

Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, that he had come from God, and that he was going back to God. So he got up from supper, laid aside his outer clothing, took a towel, and tied it around himself. Next, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don
