Trust

When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they began to be afraid. But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.” They wanted to take him into the boat, but the boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading. John 6:19-21

Świat potrzebuje prawdziwych mężczyzn!

Pewien faryzeusz, imieniem Gamaliel, uczony w Prawie i poważany przez cały lud, kazał na chwilę usunąć apostołów i zabrał głos w Radzie: Więc i teraz wam mówię: Zostawcie tych ludzi i puśćcie ich! Jeżeli bowiem od ludzi pochodzi ta myśl czy sprawa, rozpadnie się, a jeżeli rzeczywiście od Boga pochodzi, nie potraficie ich zniszczyć, i oby się nie okazało, że walczycie z Bogiem». Usłuchali go. A przywoławszy apostołów, kazali ich ubiczować i zabronili im przemawiać w imię Jezusa, a potem zwolnili. A oni odchodzili sprzed Sanhedrynu i cieszyli się, że stali się godni cierpieć dla Imienia Jezusa. Nie przestawali też co dzień nauczać w świątyni i po domach i głosić Dobrą Nowinę o Jezusie Chrystusie. Dz 5, 34. 38-42

Love without fear

But a Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the men to be put outside for a short time, and said to them, So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God.” They were persuaded by him. After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name. And all day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus. Akts 5: 34. 38-42

Who you listen to?

When they had brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, the high priest questioned them, “We gave you strict orders [did we not?] to stop teaching in that name. Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and want to bring this man’s blood upon us.” But Peter and the apostles said in reply, “We must obey God rather than men. The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand* as leader and savior to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins. We are witnesses of these things, as is the holy Spirit that God has given to those who obey him.” When they heard this, they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death. Akts 5:27-33
