RESEARCHING OUR ROOTS

        RESEARCHING OUR ROOTS

Many of us are interested our family origin.

   We go to court houses and cemeteries

to find information regarding our family origin.

   Though this is very important, we belong to

a family that is more important than our earthly

   family. Christians are a part of the spiritual

family of which Jesus is the head.

   In search of the beginninng of this family,

we do have a sure source.  It give us a sure

    history of our beginning.

Jesus walked with his disciples about

    three years, teaching them about

this family  he is the head of.

     Just before Jesus ascended back to 

heaven he gave what we know as the Great

    Commission in which he tells us

to go preach the gospel to all the world.

   The book of Acts of the Apostles is 

the story of our beginning as the family

   of God with Christ as its head.

It comes as no surprise, that as we 

   enter our earthly family by our birth

into it, we are, also, born into the spiritual

   family. In order to learn how we are

born again, we search our roots in

   the book of Acts and follow the

same example of those who became

  Christians in the first century.

                       "May God give us honest hearts

                        that we will research our spiritusl

                        roots and conforn to the pattern

                       given us as we read of conversions

                       in the  book of Acts."
