Very Touched
In Acts 5, I read where the council forbade the Apostles to preach in The name of Jesus. Even imprisoned them.
Peter and the Apostles refused to listen saying they will listen to God before they listen to man!
40.............and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
This touched my heart so deeply!
We should find it an honor to suffer for Christ's sake!
