—Acts 4:8-12

As a human being, Peter might well have been filled with rage toward these religious leaders who had incited the people against Jesus. Filled with the Holy Spirit, however, his response to questioning was straightforward and calm. If you want to know on what authority we acted, here’s your answer: Jesus. The one that you killed, but that God raised to life, is the promised Messiah. He’s the only way—past, present, or future, on earth or in heaven—to be saved.
