We must obey God rather than men’! This is a profound statement of faith coming out of the mouths of Peter and the Apostles. I wonder if we would have the courage to make such a statement if we were in their position. I hope so!
This was a scary and daunting time for the apostles. Jesus had left them big shoes to fill. They were not only grieving the loss and departure of their leader, but, at the same time trying to stay one step away from enduring the cross as he did.
The Acts of the Apostles is a source of hope for all of us called to follow in Christ’s footsteps. We may not live in the same times as they did, but our world of 2022 is filled with just as much dangers and challenges. The challenge to ‘obey God rather than man’ is ever before us!
The Easter message, Jesus has risen and is here with us should be our mantra as we actively spread this Good News! My prayer for all as we celebrate this Easter season is that we continue to be people of hope and promise as we spread the message Jesus Christ is Risen!
