"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." Acts 4:13
Without question, Christians are under attack today; called to give an account for their faith in a society that does not embrace Jesus.
Peter and John are examples of those who stood upon their faith in Christ in a time bent on rejecting Him.
The demonstration of their faith brought these men into direct conflict with those in authority; a situation not unlike a major problem Christians face today in a faithless society.
Luke, the human instrument chosen of God to write the Book of Acts, said that when the authorities became astonished at the boldness and courage of Peter and John they realized it was because they "had been with Jesus".
He is the same One Who will give one the courage to stand up today.
He's all we have.
But He is enough!
