They added up the value of the scrolls. The scrolls were worth more than someone could earn in two lifetimes.The word of the Lord spread everywhere. It became more and more powerful.After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem. He went through Macedonia and Achaia.“ After I have been to Jerusalem,” he said,“ I must visit Rome also.”

That will continue until we all become one in the faith. We will also become one in the knowledge of God’s Son. Then we will be grown up in the faith. We will receive everything that Christ has for us.We will no longer be babies in the faith. We won’t be like ships tossed around by the waves. We won’t be blown here and there by every new teaching. We won’t be blown around by cleverness and tricks. Certain people use them to hide their evil plans.Instead, we will speak the truth in love. So we will grow up in every way to become the body of Christ. Christ is the head of the body.He makes the whole body grow and build itself up in love. Under the control of Christ, each part of the body does its work. It supports the other parts. In that way, the body is joined and held together.

Our Lord Jesus is the great Shepherd of the sheep. The God who gives peace brought him back from the dead. He did it because of the blood of the eternal covenant.

Amen.

Christ has set us free to enjoy our freedom. So remain strong in the faith. Don’t let the chains of slavery hold you again.
