Today’s Thought “Remembering All HE Promised” G. Ward

Acts 4

¹² And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be saved.

 

While the authority of Peter and John was astounding as they’d proclaim Christ as the Only Source for redemption – while absolutely emboldened, as Christ taught them would occur (*Matt.10:18-20) and whereas those who’d hear such truly believed in a coming Deliverer (Messiah), they’d never be convinced it was He who died and certainly not resurrected. Then, to announce that this Christ was from the most ridiculous section in earth, Nazareth, was even more preposterous.

We must ready ourselves similarly; particularly since our Lord’s training for every disciple remains timeless and opposing factions are numerous. Our Lord spoke to a devotion required that could perhaps cost us our lives (*Matt.16:24), insisting we know there’s a cross for you and me. Whereas, devotion attained regards a vigilant process that studies all the Savior did in earth and then imitates it, may it begin on this day.
