Today’s reading is from Acts 4:1-4. In it Peter and John are arrested because they are talking about Jesus to the people around them. They are so moved by Jesus and who He is and what He has done for them that they can not be quiet about it. And so the religious leaders have them arrested.
Is that why we don’t talk about Jesus? Are we afraid we will be arrested? Is that why we don’t share the wonderful relationship we have with Him with our friends and those around us? We are afraid of being jailed and ridiculed by others or worse… are we afraid our sharing Jesus with others will mean He has less time for us or He will care less for us?
So why don’t we share Jesus? What are we really afraid of? We need to be bold and step out ready to go to prison or get laughed at because He loved you enough to hang on a cross for you, can you not share Him with your friends?
