Acts 4:18-20 And
they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name
of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right
in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we
cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Who are you
afraid of? If your dad tells you to do something and the neighbor man tells you
to do something different, who should you listen to? If you hear someone on the
radio tell you to do something, and your Sunday school teacher tells you not to
do that same thing, who do you listen to? Peter and John had just the same
problem. Jesus had told His followers to tell everyone about Him, but the
religious leaders were telling them not to preach about Jesus. What were they
to do? They decided that they should obey God instead of obeying the religious
leaders’ rules. I think they made the right decision. And I think that we should
obey God also.
