No Stopping

Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt unstoppable? Maybe in a game you just got so hot that nobody could hold you? Nothing could be done to stop you?

Acts 4 tells us about two guys that couldn't be stopped. John & Peter were out telling people the Gospel & ended up being arrested. The officials couldn't really do anything, so they just pointed their finger at them & told them to stop. WELL, John & Peter decided they were going to obey the Lord & that no man could stop them from telling the Good News of Jesus. They were arrested once more & thrown back in jail. Miraculously, an angel of the Lord opened their cell doors & instead of getting out of town when they escaped, they simply went back out to tell people about Jesus. Fearless.

The challenge here about John & Peter was the fact they were "ordinary men." They weren't anything special. They weren't educated. They were just obedient to GO & TELL. Much like you & me. In fact, John & Peter both said they could not "help speaking" about Jesus. They couldn't stop themselves! They just had to tell everyone they could. They could NOT be stopped.

Acts 5 then tells us John & Peter "never stopped teaching & proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ."

They NEVER stopped. The COULDN'T be stopped. No man could stop them. They couldn't stop themselves.

So what's stopping YOU? What is keeping you from telling others about Jesus? Friends? Popularity? Fear? Yourself?

Be bold. Be fearless. NEVER stop. Never BE stopped.
