Day 5 - "Doing Time" for Jesus!
7minAudio EN · ES · PT
God blessed the disciples during those early days with great "signs" of His presence in their lives: Acts 5:1-11 — A couple who lied publicly to God were struck dead by God! Acts 5:11 — Great fear came over all who heard about these things. Acts 5:12-16 — People were healed of all types of afflictions and sicknesses. Acts 5:14 — Great numbers of new people came to believe in Jesus. You would think that given all this evidence of God’s presence and power everyone would have believed. But the religious leaders became jealous instead, so they put the apostles in jail.
To talk about afterwards
- If you escaped from jail like this, what would you do next? What did the disciples do?
- When reminded of the threats against them, how did the disciples respond? What did the Jewish leaders do then?
- The disciples rejoiced "that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name." Why would this be an honor?
