Whatcha Talkin Bout?
The Bible is filled with incredible stories of faith, hope, and life-change. Acts 4 is no different.
Peter and John are seemingly larger-than-life champions of the faith. They saw miracle after miracle occur right before their eyes. Theirs was a world full of wonder and amazement at the magnificence of God. People were intrigued by their lives – even those who were in direct opposition. We can learn a lot from their perception of these men:
Acts 4:13 – Now as they (their enemies) observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.
Their lives were distinguishably different because of the calling of God on their lives and their obedience to answer that call. They didn’t have extraordinary talent, education, or ability. What they did have was an unwavering commitment to speak about what they had seen and heard
Acts 4:20 – “For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
All of us are talking about something. What dominates our discussion? We speak of that which is important. That being said, what’s most important in our lives? Our constant conversations will reveal the answer.
