Courage in the face of danger, loss, and resistance speaks volumes of one's commitment to their cause. Peter and John's confidence and security unnerved the religious rulers, the Sanhedrin, as they realized Jesus may be dead and gone, but His Spirit lives on in His followers.
"They were astonished and they took note that they had been with Jesus." As you stand for truth, righteousness, and justice, do they take note of you, that you have been with Jesus? May the same be said of you as was said of Peter and John. Keep abiding and keep standing. - Pastor Jimmy
