We see many amazing actions in the book of Acts from the earlier leaders and believers in Jesus. We can certainly see the power of the Holy Spirit encouraging them to act up in the ways that they do, but what about their attitudes and what’s happening in their hearts? Well, that’s pretty amazing too. We see in Acts 5:17-42 that as the heat starts getting turned up on Jesus followers persecution becomes a reality of life for the early Christians. What is amazing is how they don’t complain or shrink back because of this, but that they rejoice that they can follow in the footsteps of Jesus even in the face of suffering. Let’s see what God has for us as we look back to see how we can live more faith-filled today.
