A devotion on Acts chapters 4 and 5. I wrote these notes two months ago, on 13-5-14 on a small piece of paper. Thought I should post it here tonight to share with all Brothers and Sisters in the Lord.
The early Apostles preached the resurrection of the Lord Iesous Christos (Yeshua the Messiah) with great power. (Acts 4:33)
Soon after that, in Acts 5: 29-32, Peter and the other apostles testified before the Sanhedrin. They
proclaimed that:
(a) God raised Yeshua from death,
(b) God exalted Yeshua to His right hand as Prince and Saviour,
(c) so that Yeshua may give repentance and forgiveness to the people of Israel.
(d) God has given his Spirit to those who obey him.
Such is the powerful preaching by the Apostles. God has raised the Messiah. God has exalted him to be Prince and Saviour. And last but not least, God has given the Holy Spirit to those who obey him.
Brothers and Sisters, let us obey God.
