TOPIC: What we have seen and heard
BIBLE READING: Acts 4:13-22
MESSAGE
An eyewitness account still remains one of the most reliable sources of authentic information. In order to dispel any doubt concerning an event, people do not hesitate to believe a personal testimony. Consequently, Peter and John gave evidence that they had been with Jesus. The rulers recognized them based on that evidence which they demonstrated with the same boldness and power as Jesus. Obviously their claim was not profession alone but one backed up by the evidence of a miracle – the healing of a cripple!
A transformation in the man’s life occurred not due to education and learning on the part of Peter and John but due to the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through them. There was no controversy that the power of Jesus stood within them as evidence that He is the risen Lord that the rulers could not deny or refute. However, they suffered threats forbidding them to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. This Peter and John disregarded, damning the severe consequences of their action. They refused to compromise their message either they were resolved to obey God even in the face of opposition and persecution because He holds the highest authority (v.19).
Moreover, Christ had commanded them to preach to all nations (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; John 20:21. You cannot keep silent about Christ’s glorious salvation. He has commanded us to speak and teach, to bear witness and testimony to the Living Lord. Testify to your experience in Him today!
Shalom.
PRAYER: Lord make me the herald of your good news. Amen.
