«Nor is there salvation in any other.» Acts 4:12
Peter and John were feeling very motivated to talk about Jesus after they received the courage and power of the Holy Spirit! They were telling the people the story of Jesus and how they loved hearing it. But the temple leaders were not happy about that. They hated Jesus and didn’t want to hear His name. So, they had Peter and John put in prison.
They spent the night there and the next day they were called to court. They asked Peter and John: “Who told you to talk about Jesus?”
Peter, full of courage, answered: “The one who sent us is Jesus, whom you put on the cross. Jesus is God! He created us and came to the world to show us His love! If you wish to be in Heaven one day, you must accept Him!”
The leaders were even angrier, but they couldn’t do anything about those men. They had done nothing wrong. So, they released Peter and John and told them to stop preaching. But they said they wouldn’t stop.
Let’s practice!
To whom will you tell the story of Jesus today?
