Good morning. Filled with the Spirit, Peter and John boldly proclaim Jesus before the Sanhedrin. The fire of their witness spreads, along with a holy fear.
Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

Review
Write a sentence or two about what you've just read. This could be a summary of the passage or an observation or highlight that stood out to you.
Reflect
Where are you tempted to trust human effort or reputation rather than the name of Jesus alone? Bring that area to Him in surrender today.
No one of us—from the most loving and faithful Christian parent to the noblest and most eloquent pastor to the most altruistic and self-sacrificing soul—can save even one person. Undeniably, the name of Jesus is supreme. —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
Write a short prayer, based on today’s reading. This could include praise, gratitude, personal confession, agreement with the truth, or a request for yourself or someone else.
