Deliver us from evil and lead us not into temptation
In Acts 5, the story of Ananias and Sapphira shows the humanity and imperfections in Christian communities and the need to be watchful against the enemys attempts to harm. The reading emphasizes the power of God to deliver and protect his own, the importance of actions, thoughts, and words, and the new wave of persecution.
