Persecution Breeds Power
To prepare for this session, read Acts 6:8—9:31.
If a gas in a closed container is heated so much that the pressure exceeds the strength of the container, an explosion occurs. That’s why aerosol cans, which contain pressurized propellant gases, have warnings on them against being placed near sources of heat.
The religious leaders and other enemies of the gospel found out from the beginning that containing the apostles’ witness to the resurrection of Jesus was difficult. Increasing the heat just seemed to excite and incite the witnesses.
As Christ’s followers yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. Our words, fueled by the Spirit’s wisdom and the signs and wonders we perform by the power of the Holy Spirit, is a fuse. Amen
