Acts 5:40-41
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.

It was only a short time before this that these same followers of Jesus were cowering inside…hiding out in fear that they would meet the same horrible demise as their teacher. What could have changed these men into bold proclaimers of the Good News of Jesus? What could have made them so willing to be harshly treated and eventually even give their lives in order to spread their Master’s teachings? Seeing the risen Christ with their own eyes…speaking with Him…touching Him…is the only plausible explanation. Do you long to live for a cause that you could die for…a cause that is bigger and more meaningful than anything this world could offer does? Christ is calling you. It’s never too early or too late to answer the call. Let the adventure begin!
