Event: Peter and John before the Sanhedrin
S - Scripture
Acts 4 v. 1-2 And as they were speaking to the people, the priest and the
captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, annoyed because they
were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the
dead.
O - Observation
The name of Jesus causes conflict in the world. It's a strange dichotomy, the
world, hates what it needs to hear and have the most - Jesus. Jesus knew this
when he said in Matthew 10 v. 34, "Do not think that I have come to bring
peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword." The name of
Jesus causes conflict with our sinful flesh. Hebrews 4 v. 12, "For the
word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to
the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the
thoughts and intentions of the heart."
A - Application
Am I using the word of God? Am I in conflict?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Let me not be afraid to cause conflict by stating your name in the
world. Love Will
