Acts 12
Pastor Jon Wehner
How many “get out of jail free cards” do we get in a lifetime?
Acts 12 records an incident in which Peter was in jail, with an impending death sentence. It took nothing short of a string of miracles to free him from prison. “Then Peter came to himself and said, ‘Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating’." (Acts 12:11)
Try reflecting back upon your life for a moment, acknowledging supernatural circumstances when God provided deliverance. Some freedoms may have come at a cost, while others may have simply been the surrendering of your will. Certain challenging situations have been self-inflicted, while others may have been frustrated through the actions of others.
The good news is that God is still in the deliverance business. Peter’s liberation did not go in vain. He went on to launch the Christian church. What will our legacy be…as we celebrate our continued liberation through Christ?
Pastor Jon oversees “Fusion” (single adult ministries) and is the “Monday Night Church” venue pastor.
