V.1 Those who had obeyed, and had come to Jerusalem, now realize what they had not realized before, that is, that false religion was among them.
V.1 Tells us what they did (2 Cor. 10:4-6).
V.2-4 Now a permanent routine was established.
V.5-7 More than they needed. So too when our hearts are drawn to Him!
V.11-19 Interesting and instructive to notice that the Lord gives the names of the faithful men. They shared the joy with God.
V.20-21 God was honored in all this. It was “good” and “right” and “truth” before the Lord. What could surpass this? The result was that he prospered. May we all realize that we too have a path open to each of us... a life of obedience to God’s Word.
