ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
May 10, 2020

Scripture: Acts 18:1-3
After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them, and they worked together—by trade they were tentmakers.

Thought for the Day: In my sermon this morning, I focus on Priscilla who is, in my opinion, one of the great early followers of Jesus, yet I have only modest Biblical proof for making that statement. In Romans, Paul offered a couple of very affirming statements about Priscilla (Prisca) and her husband, but without a lot of detail. The stories of her bold faith were conceived mostly within my imagination, though I feel confident that my imaginative faculties underestimated all she did. These formulated stories are rooted in the real-life stories of women I have known, starting with my grandmother who lived a bold faith and mother is living a bold faith. Maybe I imposed a little of them on what I envisioned Priscilla to be…but it’s because I believe they both had a little Priscilla in them.

Prayer: Holy Lord, Holy Light, provide us the capacity to see the bold faith of so many who have chosen to follow in the ways of Jesus. Amen.
