Acts 4 – The Listening Plan

Devotional

But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

– Acts 4:19

I love this response of Peter and John to the threats of the religious leaders in Jerusalem. “let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name,” they said. But Peter and John, with a boldness only possible by the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit, said, “we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
