29 And now, Lord, behold their threatening: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, Acts 4:29
Peter and John had been arrested by the Jewish leaders for healing a man that had been born lame. These leaders rejected the teachings of Jesus.
There is more to this story in Act 4 if you would like to read it.
However, verse 29 is the prayer that I want to point out for today.
As the leaders of our world speak out against Jesus,
they are much like those of Jesus's day.
We saw at the rally of Kamala Harris, just this week that
she told a group of people to go to the rally down the street if they wanted Jesus.
That He was not there.
And so do we really want her as "our leader?"
Because if she goes that far,
what will be next if she wins the race?
It may not be a matter of just go somewhere else to find Jesus.
Maybe as Peter and John found themselves arrested,
Christians today will be arrested as well.
Or worse.
Because the disciples of Jesus paid the ultimate price for their preaching of the Gospel.
And we may pay that price as well.
But we can't let that stop us.
And no matter the threats, we must speak the Word of God boldly,
at all costs.
If it comes to that,
will we speak boldly
the name of Jesus.?
Like the one in the rally
that called out
"Jesus is Lord!!!!"
Thanks for coming by today, Friends.
God bless you!
