Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:13
If the Lord calls me home before the trump sounds, my desire is that people will say of me the same words they used to describe Peter and John from our verse, "...They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus." What will my legacy be? What will your legacy be? What will we give today and what will we one day leave behind? Will it be something of substance or will it be wood, hay and stubble? I feel a certain intensity, a certain fervency, a certain pressing, a certain quickening in my steps and desire within me to set down a spiritual legacy of stepping stones right now at this very moment, with the time and breathe that God continues to give me. I must and you must; we must be considering those who are coming up behind us. Lord willing, the next generation will be used in a mighty way for the glory and cause of Christ Jesus. I am grateful and thankful for those who God used in the past to kindle a heavenly flame in the next generation in their certain time in history, but God didn't pull up stakes and leave after the 1800's were over. The Holy Spirit is just as powerful today as He was in past days and God's word has not changed, it is still quick and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword! God still has the power readily available to do a powerful work today.
My friend, our time here is short; we live one day at a time as we move forward by faith. Be a spark! Be a fire! Be a godly example! Live a Holy Spirit filled life! Be a man of God, Be a woman of God. Dear believer, give your all to the One who gave His all on Calvary’s victorious Hill for you. O the price that Jesus paid for the redemption of our souls. That wonderful and powerful truth should light a fire in us that the devil and all his angels can't snuff out. It should ignite and give birth to a desire to live our lives in Christ Jesus to the edifying and the encouragement to those who the Lord brings into our lives. A life that one day, when it is remembered, will bring glory to God and God alone.
After filling Jerusalem with the good doctrine Peter and the apostles were asked, “Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name?” Peter and the apostle’s response? “we ought to obey God rather than men” (see Acts 5.) This should be our battle cry. This should burn in us incessantly and lived out continually before those who are coming up behind us.
Let's carefully consider today that which we will be leaving behind tomorrow.
