In Acts 4 the early church faces its first real opposition. Peter and John are confronted, questioned, and threatened for proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus. What began as an act of kindness and a miraculous healing quickly turned into pressure to stay silent. Yet instead of backing down or blending in, they responded with clarity and courage. Their confidence did not come from status or education but from having been with Jesus. When Christ truly shapes a life, boldness flows from conviction, not ego. The authorities could not deny the miracle standing in front of them, but they still tried to suppress the message. This moment reveals an important truth. Opposition to the gospel does not only come from those far from faith. It can also come from religious voices that sound close to truth but drift from grace. The call of the church is not to chase culture, rage against it, or retreat from it, but to stay anchored to Jesus and speak the gospel with humility and love. This passage reminds us that faith is more than comfort or routine. Following Jesus refines our motives, clarifies our message, and shapes how we respond when pressure comes. God often uses seasons of tension and uncertainty to deepen conviction and reveal what we truly believe. The world is not changed by perfect people, but by ordinary people who have clearly been with Jesus. Key Takeaways • Everyone is being formed by something • Opposition reveals the depth of our conviction • Boldness grows from spending time with Jesus • The gospel must remain clear and uncompromised • Ordinary people can reflect Christ in extraordinary ways —— NEXT STEPS Did you say “yes” to Jesus?
