evidence nor is the dominance of
the Spirit in the life of a believer
to be tested by the presence of any
special gift" (Charles R. Erdman).
lI. Mighty Works Performed (4:
9).
Reference is made here to the
healing of the lame man--a miracle
which resulted in the imprisonment
of Peter and John. It was a work
of power, but only the first of many
which the disciples were to perform.
An even greater work was that of
the Spirit-filled preaching of the
gospel which brought 3,000 souls into
the church (2:41). As we marvel at
that event, we need also to keep be-
fore us the recurring day-by-day
miracle of the regeneration of in-
dividuals (2:4"/). This was. and is.
accomplished through the teaching
of the Word (2:42).
111,True Witness Presented (4:
8-12).
The rulers and leaders (especially
the skeptical aristocrats of that day
---the Sadducees) were angered by
the proclamation of the resurrection
of the One they had crucified. They
also feared that their rich revenues
from the temple might be eut off if
the people were to follow Christ
(4:4), so they took the disciples into
custody and brought them before
the Sanhedrin,
Humanly speaking, one might
have expected these men to stand
+ in fear and awe before that august
body, and either become dumb with
terror or brazenly defiant. But such
o is not the operation of the Holy Spirit
in a man. They spoke tactfully, but
boldly, of the death and resurrection
of the only One in whom there is
any salvation.
IV. F~tithftli Though Persecuted
( 4: 13-20).
Not being able to make any real
charge against the disciples, the
rulers let them go, but only after
threatening them and forbidding
them to speak any more of Christ.
They, Iike so many religious leaders
of today, were quite willing that the
disciples should preach, if they
would only leave out th~ name of
Christ.
Note the answer in verse 19.
There is only one message (v. 12).
" "Neither is there any other name
under heaven, that is gzven among
men, wherein we must be saved';
thus Peter asserts not only that the
miracle has been wrought in the
name of Jesus Christ, but that he
and his judges can have eternal sal-
v#Aon in no other name. His words
are at once a rebuke, a challenge,
and an invitation. They need to be
reviewed and weighed today by cer-
tai~ benevolent but superficial talk-
ers who are asserting that Chris-
tianity is only one among many
religions, and that it is only neces-
sary for one to be sincere in his own
belief. Such teachers must recon-
cile their statements with those of
Peter and John. who were 'filled
with the Holy Spirit' when they
declared that there ts but one name
wherein we must be saved."
