Are You a Witness?

Acts5-Part 3

LET IT GLOW 

An angel opened the prison doors for Peter and John and brought them out. Their instructions were to go, stand, speak in the temple to the people. The next morning the high priest sent officers to get the two, but they were not there. Someone else told the high priest the guys were teaching in the temple. The captain of the officers went and got P & J, taking them before the Sanhedrin. 

What were the leaders of the Sanhedrin blaming Peter and John?

• They thought the death of Jesus was being placed on the leaders of the Sanhedrin. Weren't the guys told to not teach in Jesus' name? 
• They had filled Jerusalem with their doctrine.
• They intended to bring Jesus' blood upon them.(verse 28)

LET IT GROW

How did Peter answer? 

We ought to obey God rather than men. (verse 29)

God raised up Jesus, whom they hung on a tree. (vesre 30)

God exalted Jesus to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (verse 31)

Peter and John are Jesus' witnesses.

The Holy Ghost is given to those who obey Him. (verse 32)

Peter was blaming the Jewish leaders for killing the Messiah. How brave Peter was!

Are you a witness for Jesus and what He has does for you? 

We are obligated to obey God instead of human commands when they are contradicted. It is hard but rewarding.

LET IT GO

Help us obey Your Word and Holy Spirit, Father.
