SPEAK UP! The disciples realized that in order to be true followers of Jesus they had to do what He had done. They had to speak truth to power - even and especially when those in power wanted them oh so badly to keep silent. They confronted the high priests with their complicity in Jesus' death and they continued to preach His message of love and forgiveness to the crowds in Jerusalem. Where do you see the values Jesus died to uphold being trampled? |
