7/3/2022 0 Comments Pastor's PenThe Apostle Peter had previously been so
afraid of acknowledging Jesus Christ before men that he had even denied knowing Him before a young girl. Yet after being restored by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit- Peter became bold as a lion for Christ. Proverbs 28:1 says, “The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” Do you wonder if you could be as bold as Peter? Do you feel too untrained or timid to be a witness for God? If you’ll spend time getting to know Jesus, He will empower you to impress others with Himself. Boldness for Christ comes from knowing Christ. It was the Apostle Paul who said in Romans 1:16-17, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Beloved, as Charles Spurgeon said, instead of being, “Brave for the world and cowardly towards Christ,” may we, “Live bravely for him who died lovingly for you.” Beloved: Be Brave!
