The religious Sadducees had Peter and other apostles put in prison for preaching about Jesus, but God opened the prison doors, got them out and told them to go to the temple and keep preaching.
Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
The apostles were trusting in the authority of a risen Lord, the One who came out of the tomb alive, having conquered death, hell, and the grave. They served the One who ascended back to the throne of God where He is seated today.
Do you realize what believers have in Jesus? Our work for the Lord isn’t dependent on the frailties of human flesh. We are living for and empowered by the God of heaven. We are more than conquerors in Jesus.
