Acts 17:1-9 NIV
I was wondering: Could you be found guilty of associating with Jesus or with his disciples?
Jason welcomed Paul and Silas into his home. Although many people, in Thessalonica, heard and believed the evidence that Paul offered that Jesus was the Messiah; others did not. These others were jealous and encouraged a mob mentality towards Paul and Silas. Not being able to find Paul and Silas, the mob rushed Jason's home and had him arrested. He was considered guilty by association. Again I ask, would any one know that you are guilty of associating with Jesus or any of his followers? How would they know?
May our lives be such that all people might know we believe that Jesus is the Messiah and that we are friends of Him and his followers.
