. . . .let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:10-12)One Healing...One Salvation....One Name! The religious leaders were so angry: They would not stop preaching, teaching and healing! How dare Peter, John and then others. Turbulent speaking about this resurrected Christ. They kept healing people in His Name. They even offered forgiveness of sin and eternal life with God the Father through this Jesus! So they arrested Peter and John.
Yet Peter was so good (Acts 4:13) and so honest, that the rulers could do nothing but warn them and let them go. The people were too excited.
Adjustment the prison, Peter and Joy gave some good advice for us today as we go through COVID -19 and those other daily challenges we have seemed to have forgotten: "It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard." (Acts 4:20)
No matter the day or situation, tell others about His goodness!!!!
