A light shone in the cell

Pretty much everyone loves a little comedy, right? If that’s you, you’ll appreciate the account of Peter’s deliverance from prison and certain execution in Acts 12:1-19. Peter’s groggy response to the angel and Rhoda’s flightiness provide some comic relief in the midst of a tense situation. Behind it all is a God reassuring his people that everything is fully in control. With darkness all around them, the light of Christ was shining. We’ll examine how that light impacts the life of every Christian.

Revelation 21:23-25

Having the light of Christ...

The Christians used their most effective means of assistance. They prayed.
John B. Polhill

...I anticipate his intervention more eagerly (v. 6-11)

You don’t know who you are until you know God, and you don’t know how to live until you’ve settled the question of how to die.
