“There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”Acts of the Apostles 4:12 NLT
Peter says this on the day of Pentecost to the crowd that has assembled to hear the cause of the rushing wind and tongues of fire.
All the disciples had forsaken Jesus in His hour of need and trial, yet Jesus forgave them and pored out His Holy Spirit on them. They were used mightily when empowered by the Holy Spirit.
No one else had come close to being like Jesus. Many rose and said, “follow me!” However, all died and stayed dead. Jesus rose from the grave. He poured out His Holy Spirit on the disciples and this same spirit turned uneducated men into bold preachers. No on else was able to transform humble fishermen into miracle workers.
We are disappointed in people, continually. My latest is this morning. I needed medicine brought from Australia and the person who was to bring it, forgot. This is a trouble to me as in Nepal the cost is astronomical. However, it can be purchased.
I must do for this person what Jesus did for His disciples, forgive and release. Amen!
