Be Bold

John 20:19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first {day} of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, "Peace {be} with you."(NAS)

This takes place just after Jesus' tomb has been found empty, and Mary has seen Jesus, alive again. It is amazing that this same group of men who were hiding out in a room with the doors shut, afraid of the Jews, would eventually be so bold as to spend the rest of their lives sharing the gospel to all peoples, no matter what the cost. Nearly all of them would suffer terrible deaths for the sake of the gospel. This is an amazing testament to the changing power of the Holy Spirit, and proof that the God we serve truly is alive and truly is all powerful!
