"They were happy to be deemed worthy of being disrespected," Acts 5:41.
You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Happy about it? Word's talking about public humiliation. About public beating. Thrashing. About censure right there in front of God and everybody. What in the world had they done? They told about Jesus. That was it. They said that God made Jesus leader and savior. To forgive people. And words like that. Now. We don't get stupid and think that getting martyred is desirable fun and games. Joy is names written in the skies. So says Jesus, anyway. Whatever the cost. Persecution? God knows us. Sky kingdom. Blessed.
We prioritize today a visit with a brother or sister. We remind that God qualified us for his sky kingdom. Do we suffer dishonor for the Name? No matter. Together, we give thanks.
