Acts 4:6-10

Acts 4:6-10 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. The same religious leaders who had just executed Jesus had just arrested the disciples and were giving them a hard time. They asked Peter and John a loaded question. They were setting them up to get them into trouble, and probably to have them executed too. Anyone who admitted that Jesus was the Son of God would be in trouble. But Peter wasn’t worried. He was empowered by the Holy Spirit and boldly spoke out the name of Jesus Christ. Are we bold like Peter? Do we speak out for Jesus? I hope so.Holy Spirit of God. Peter boldly spoke up for Jesus. He told the religious leaders that Jesus was the only way to life everlasting and that it was by the power of Jesus that the lame man was healed. Peter was Bold and spoke up for Jesus. I hope we are as bold as Peter. I hope we speak up for Jesus. Jesus has done so much for us. We should be a faithful witness for Him.
