The Jerusalem big shots — who were fast losing spiritual market share — didn’t want Peter and John talking about Jesus anymore (Acts 4:1-22).
But for Peter and John, the choice was simple.
“But Peter and John replied, ‘Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.’” (vv. 19-20)
Hmmm….. a good passage to keep in mind the next time somebody seeks to pressure us to keep quiet about the Savior of the world.
As always, I love you
