Summary: Even as early as the book of Acts, those who believed in Jesus were known as having influence throughout the entire world. In fact, they were accused of turning the world on its head!If you read the account in the book of Acts, chapter 17, Jason and several other followers of Christ were actually dragged from his house and put on trial. Why? Because they were living differently than others and proclaiming the Good News!Because of Jason and believers like him, within a matter of years, the Good News of God's son had spread throughout the world. The name of Jesus had traveled to distant lands, and people who followed him became known for their "unusually holy" lives. They had set a new standard for living.So now - 2,000 years later - as we sit in our homes, this is my question: Are we still turning the world on its head? Like the members of the early Church, are our lives causing others to question theirs - in a good way? What are we doing to stand out? What are we doing to reflect Jesus Christ? Our world is watching. Will they see Jesus in you and me?
