Speaking of BOLDNESS?

Read Acts chapter 4 just now. The thing that spoke to me most about it is, the strength and BOLDNESS that the Holy Spirit gave Peter&John to stand up to the rulers, elders and teachers of the law. When the rulers, elders and teachers of the law ban them from spreading the good news that Jesus is the Messiah and had died on the cross for us. It was because that they saw how God healed the crippled man through Peter, they felt threatened because they were the ones who wanted Jesus to be crucified. When the ppl going in and out of the temple saw what Peter&John did to the crippled man. Many saw and believed in the Lord.

Thats why the rulers, elders and teachers of the law felt threatened. Okay la, its very long for me to keep on typing "rulers, elders, and teachers of the law".. Lets sum all of them up in 1 nickname kay? I shall call them.. "Bad AhPeks".. Okay? Nice right? Hahah!xD.. So, when Bad AhPeks ask Peter&John to not spread the good news and warned them that if they do they will be punished, jailed, etc etc. But Peter&John replied"Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

What I'm trying to say here is that, a lot of us as Christians. We've heard, seen, smell and taste of God's realness and GLORY in our lives. But we dare not take that step of faith for Him to go share the good news(the gospel). Some of us don't even care at all. Its like, " save myself then can already la.."... But, this is NOT the love that God has given us. He has given us the love that SHOULD be spread all OVER THE WORLD! Let the Holy Spirit FILL you with BOLDNESS and STRENGTH TO GO and make a STAND for our Father in Heaven who loves us so much. We can do this! God did not give us the attitude of timidity but the attitude of going OUT THERE and the POWER TO CHANGE! Lets do this together and take the example of Peter&John.. Amen? :)
