James is martyred. Peter is miraculously rescued. Herod’s terrible life comes to a terrible end.
These followers of Jesus are paying the price of speaking of Jesus with their lives- still they persist!
God’s message will not be silenced.
Powerful men may play God but will fail miserably at playing with God.
Be obedient regardless of the end. Trust God’s sovereignty.
The Gospel is further validated by those willing to suffer for it.
Father, help me trust your plan even to the end- and beyond.
