This was the account of many Christian converts after the Lord's ascension back into heaven. Having obtained forgiveness, they were now sons of God, members of the family or church of God. Some believe it is imperative to have a church yet, believe one is as good as another. Jesus then commended him for believing the testimony of God rather than the opinions of men. The facts about the church are much like the idea as to the person of Jesus.
Men have many opinions.
But, God has a revealed will about the church in the Scripture. Portions are Copyrighted 1998 Mike Scott. Webmaster is Keith Rowland.
