Lesson 13
Q: Why is it important for a woman to make sure her family appreciates the story of the Jerusalem Council?
A: Because this story shows us that the inward circumcision of the heart is more important to God than the rituals of religion.
Acts 15 gives us the story of Paul and Barnabas on a missionary journey especially to the Gentiles. Remember Acts 10 and the story of Cornelius? Today’s story has a direct connection to Cornelius (Acts 10). Why? Because Cornelius was the first Gentile convert and God wanted it to be made known that He accepted anyone who was willing to believe and obey Him. In Acts 15, Paul and Barnabas were confronted by Jews who believed that a Gentile who wanted to be baptized into Christ must first become a Jew. This meant that these Jews believed the Gentiles had to be circumcised before they could be saved.
This confrontation led to the meeting of the Jerusalem Council on the topic of circumcision and following the Law of Moses. The conclusion to the matter was to write a letter to the Gentile Christians which stated this:
“The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.” (Acts 15:23-29, ESV)
When you put this conclusion together with Scriptures like Romans 2:28-29 and Colossians 2:11-12, you can see that physical circumcision was required for the Jews, but is not important to God any longer. Circumcision of the heart (an inward, spiritual cutting away of sin from our lives) is what God wants (for everyone then and everyone today). It does not matter who you are or where you live, God wants you to fully and completely give your life to Him for eternity.
It is important for you, as a homemaker, to teach your family that the inward circumcision of the heart is more important to God than the rituals of religion. Help them to follow God because of an inward desire for relationship, not just obedience to rules.
