Acts 5 | Obey God, Not Man

Acts

Play in New Window

On the 2nd Sunday of Easter, CCV begins a series using the Lectionary Year C readings, focusing on The Acts of the Apostles.

In Acts 5, Peter and the Apostles are arrested for preaching Jesus. But when the Angel of the Lord sets them free and calls them to preach the gospel in the Temple they are re-arrested. But Peter and the Apostles refuse to be silenced: “Should we obey God or men?” he asks. And what about us? What keeps us from proclaiming Jesus is the Christ? Fear. How do we live with same joyful in the face of suffering, love for enemies, boldness for Jesus that the Apostles did?
