Jordan - Acts 4

The Who?

Peter and John have no business preaching the way they are preaching in these chapters.  "...they were uneducated and ordinary men..." (vs 13).  The leaders of the time thought they were in the clear after getting rid of Jesus, but they only made matters worse.  All of sudden, the random misfits following Jesus, the who's, are preaching with power and a boldness that only the Spirit could bestow on them.  They prayed as a group that they would be given the strength to "step out on a limb."

Despite God's calling towards the edge of the branch, its difficult to do alone (albeit with God).  But the group in this chapter is a group of socialists moving towards a common goal.  When living as a bunch of people that cares for one another, the limb is that much more attainable.


...Alright, I know I have small children, but I am rooting for the Saints!!!
