Acts 5:12-28
The apostles healed many peoples with sick and tormented by evil spirits who was brought from the towns around Jerusalem.
The high priest and all his associates who were filled with jealousy.
The apostles were persecuted but the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. He said " Go, stand in the temple courts, and tell the people the full message of this new life."
The captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were puzzled, wondering what would come of this. For the jail securely locked but when they open them, they found no one inside.
Having brought the apostles, be questioned by the high priest. "you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood."
Why?
It was like the days of Jesus in Galilee all over again, so many were being healed by the apostles.
No wonder the Jewish authorities grew jealous of their enormous influence. Their swift deliverance from prison and the angel's command further convince the apostles of their mission.
The apostles openly held the Council responsible for Jesus' death, and they fear reprisals報復.
Church and Christian should be have influence in the community around them.
How?
How is the influence of the churches and Christians to the society in this generation? Forgive us, O Lord, please restore us and let us bravely tell the people the full message of this new life.
