* In Acts 4:13 we see the people recognizing Peter and the disciples had been with Jesus because of the boldness of their witness.

* Here in this verse Peter was accused of the very same thing - having been with Jesus.

* But there was a difference.

* They recognized him as having been with Jesus in a physical sense - they had seen him in the same place Jesus was.

* Today, so many of us are physically going to church, handing out with Christians, and doing the Christian thing.

* But when the heat picks up we bail, just as Peter did.

* We need to start “being” the church - when we do, people will recognize we’ve been with Jesus!

* The question is, are we going to be the Peter in Matthew 26 or Acts 4?
