Being Bold

Howdy! In Acts Ch5, we read about Peter's bold stand against the Pharisee council. See in v28-30. The Pharisees threaten with death, but Peter stands determined. What would cause a person such change? Remember Peter once denied even knowing Jesus 3 times at Jesus' arrest. The Holy Spirit gave Peter confidence of the truth. Such confidence that he could not help but tell others. To see if Peter's truth was on target, read a little ahead in v38. A Pharisee named Gamliel tells them that if Peter's influence is from man it will soon die off. But if from God, you cannot stop it. 2,000 years later,, can we answer that? We might nto shout from rooftops about Jesus, but we should not keep Jesus only to ourselves...be bold!
