对今日诗句的想法
彼得和众使徒反对来自公会，也就是耶路撒冷统治阶层的严厉警告。他们坚定地称耶稣为主。他们知道，主耶稣已经战胜了敌人妄想消灭他或制止他使命的企图。使徒们公然违抗来自杀害耶稣者的命令，从任何标准来说，这都是从信心而来的勇气。在“坚守信仰”的战斗中，你会怎么做呢？
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Against a stern warning from the ruling council in Jerusalem, called the Sanhedrin, Peter and the other apostles proclaimed Jesus as Lord. This Sanhedrin is basically the same group that presented Jesus to the Romans to have the Savior crucified! However, Peter and the other apostles knew that Jesus had triumphed over the attempts of his enemies to extinguish him and his ministry. They chose to blatantly disobey the orders of the very same people who had Jesus crucified. By any standard, that is faithful courage. Their reason for this boldness? They had been sent by God, through Jesus, to proclaim the truth throughout the world, beginning in Jerusalem (Acts 1:8). Their actions challenge us to ask ourselves a question: How are we doing in standing up for Jesus in a culture dogmatically set against his will?
我的祷告
主啊，全能的神，愿你的圣灵加添我力量，使我刚强。唯愿我永远都不在自己的信仰上让步，或是放弃自己对主耶稣的信心！奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Lord God Almighty; please empower me through the work of your Spirit to be courageous in proclaiming the glorious truth about Jesus. I do not want to back down from my convictions or renounce my faith in Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
