ASLC Devotions -- Friday

Acts 5:25 Then someone arrived and announced, ‘Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!’

As the apostles were out doing wonders and signs and preaching the message about the resurrection of Jesus (see yesterday's message), the authorities got nervous. So the authorities did what authorities do when they get nervous. They threw the apostles in prison. But an angel showed up and let them out... right through the prison wall. The apostles were released from prison so they could go back and tell the story to those who need to hear it.

I don't know what this means in your life. I don't know what prisons you're in that need breaking down. But I know that it means something about the message of hope and life in the risen Christ. Nothing can defeat the message. The message will always get out. Hope will always triumph. Life is stronger than death. Goodness is stronger than evil. No matter what.

In Christ,
Pastor Seth
