Acts 5 (Part 2)
Ok so this Acts blog is coming along nicely.
Acts 5:38-39 (NIV84)
"38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” "
This is pretty amazing. The events that took place in the book of Acts happened almost two thousand years ago. Here we are many many years later and we're still telling people about Jesus.
I think this can also give us hope. If our intentions for revival are to glorify God, then we can be sure that things are going to work out. If they are about ourselves, than we are destined to fail.
Acts 5:41-42 (NIV84)
"41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. 42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ. "
The apostles rejoiced in their suffering. They rejoiced because they were becoming less and He was becoming more.
Anyways, tonight's post was kind of short. It was actually supposed to be a part of last night's.
Thanks for reading!
