“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.”(Acts 4:13)
Peter and John were giving their testimony before the Jewish Sanhedrin Council. Peter had just declared that salvation was in Jesus only. Our text says the authorities saw the boldness of these two mighty men of God. Further their perception was that they were uneducated and ignorant. Third, the council knew that they had been with Jesus.
When you and I spend time with Jesus reading His Word and hearing and heeding what He says, it will show. Do you ever feel intimidated when you share your testimony with someone? The more time you spend with Him the more boldness He will give.
People may speak of you and me as uneducated buffoons when we worship the Lord and resist the world. But they will know by your life and testimony that you have been with Jesus. How much time do you spend, not working for Him, but worshiping Him?
