PETER (Profiles In Courage)

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.  Acts 4:13

As we move into the New Testament and look at Peter this week and Paul next week, we see boldness in both men in the pages of Acts.  After Christ's ascension, there is something that takes place within Peter.  It is apparent through the first few chapters as he preaches and addresses various crowds:  from those gathered at Pentecost, to those after the healing of the lame beggar, to the ruling council of Sadducees.  In each instance, Peter's boldness leads him to share the Gospel and to connect this same Jesus with prophecy as a fulfillment of the Scripture.  Peter's boldness can and should become our boldness.  In a world which needs to hear, are we taking the truth with us into the settings we're in each day?
