Unstoppable! Read Acts 4:1 through 6:15 Peter and the other apostles would not shut up about Jesus! They went about healing in His name and preaching the good news even though they were continually told to keep silent. They were thrown in jail, but that did not stop them. Beatings did not hinder them. They were compelled to proclaim that Jesus was the Christ. When they found themselves facing possible death, a Pharisee named Gamaliel interceded on their behalf before the Sanhedrin. He pointed out the many zealots who had eventually met their demise. He urged the Sanhedrin to free the apostles. He reasoned that if this was a man-made scheme it would fail like all of the rest. “If it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God” (Act 5:39). The apostle Peter and many who followed were relentless in preaching the gospel. They could not keep quiet about the things they witnessed. Can you? Prayer Suggestion: Lord, may Your Word continue to go forward with unstoppable force. Quicklook: Acts 5:33–42 By Gospel Publishing House
