THE
This
week we discussed the beginning of historical Christianity. I had a little background
of beginning of history from our class in New Testament survey on how this
started and how it grows until now. There are many factors that influence the
early church and as I look at it, God is in control of everything. He places
everything with reasons and purposes. He has perfect timing for everything that
is happening in the past and even in future, He is at work. Also I learned two
things in the History of the church and those who influence it. The first is
that opposition is always part of life, especially to the life of the Christian
before and even until now. But I think it is also very helpful for the
Christian to be persecuted because they scattered all over the places and that
is also one of the reasons why the gospel spread. Secondly, as Christian I must
learn to praise God in whatever situation I am facing
in the present, just like the Christians who struggle before but God had a
purpose for all of their situations. Right now I describe the church as
unstoppable because right now it continues to grow and grow and I know that God
is in control of everything including the church.
For
me personally I will always pray to God that he will always strengthen me in
facing trials and persecution. Next is that I will share with others especially
my Christian friends and church mates, how God worked in the past in preserving
the church and made it to exist until now. Lastly I will always trust God even
if I face hardship in my journey in life.
