To Do and To Teach 3/25 Tuesday Truth

At Alexandria I got on the ship.  I wanted to preach, but I could not.  I had not the language, and no interpreter.  I read Acts 1:1, "...Jesus began both to do and to teach."  To do and then to teach.  I wanted to do, but how?  I was ready, but I had no opportunity.  Men cannot make the opportunity... It is God who makes the opportunity, and just where I stood a man fell on the deck.  His wife cried out, "My husband is dead."  One ran for the doctor, but before he arrived I began to do.  I said, "In the name of Jesus," and the man revived.  There was much excitement and pointing at me -- all wanted to know what had happened.  I could not speak to them, but I found five people who could interpret me.  And all on the ship heard the old story of Jesus and His love. Don't forget, we have to begin to do, then to teach.
