SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
QUIET OBEDIENCE Frederick A. Schiotz
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. * Acts 1:14 (NIV)
The ascension was now history. The eleven disciples returned to Jerusalem and the Upper Room where they were staying. There they became a group at prayer. Mary, the mother of Jesus, other unnamed women, and Jesus’ brothers became a part of the prayer group.
In the four Gospels we have no record of a prayer meeting like this one. But Jesus had asked them to return to the city (Luke 24:49) and to remain there “until you have been clothed with power from on high.” The return to the city and to the Upper Room for prayer was an act of obedience to their Lord.
None of the prayers offered on this occasion have been preserved for the church. There probably was a minimum of petitioning. This was an occasion for praise and thanksgiving.
It was a time for rejoicing in the goodness of God who had blessed them so richly through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In such moments the Spirit confers the love and unity that are marks of the body of Christ.
