Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
En contra de la advertencia del Sanhedrín en Jerusalén, Pedro y los demás apóstoles siguieron proclamando a Jesús como Señor. Sabían que Jesús había triunfado sobre los esfuerzos del enemigo de extinguirle a Él y a su ministerio. Los apóstoles desobedecieron abiertamente a las mismas personas que habían crucificado a Jesús. Un acto de coraje en cualquier lugar del mundo. ¿Cómo va tu batalla contra los enemigos de Jesús?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Against a stern warning from the ruling council in Jerusalem, called the Sanhedrin, Peter and the other apostles proclaimed Jesus as Lord. This Sanhedrin is basically the same group that presented Jesus to the Romans to have the Savior crucified! However, Peter and the other apostles knew that Jesus had triumphed over the attempts of his enemies to extinguish him and his ministry. They chose to blatantly disobey the orders of the very same people who had Jesus crucified. By any standard, that is faithful courage. Their reason for this boldness? They had been sent by God, through Jesus, to proclaim the truth throughout the world, beginning in Jerusalem (Acts 1:8). Their actions challenge us to ask ourselves a question: How are we doing in standing up for Jesus in a culture dogmatically set against his will?
