Imprisoned for the Gospel

Acts 12

God responded to the church's prayers and delivered Peter from prison.

When Peter was arrested and put in prison, the church prayed fervently to God for him. God delivered Peter miraculously, but the church failed to believe he had been rescued at first. In a similar way, Jesus had taught His disciples that He would die and be raised again, but they too failed to believe at first. When they saw and experienced the resurrected Savior, their faith increased.

Because God's love, power and sovereignty are proven, in the resurrection of Jesus, we pray with anticipation that God works in us and through us as we seek to make Jesus known.
