What is Vision
Jan 21, 2024
Summary
What is vision? Jesus told the apostles what they needed to do and the actions they needed to take. And no one can read this narrative and not appreciate how admirable was the conduct of the apostles. No one can read this history and fail to see how much their work was the overflow of their own faith in Jesus Christ, their own joy in the triumph of his saving work, their own confidence that he would be faithful to all his promises and would be with them wherever they were to help them in whatever they were doing. When we read at the end of the chapter that their response to their arrest, their interrogation, their beating, and the warning of the Sanhedrin was to rejoice that they had been counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Lord’s name, we learn that the Sanhedrin was no match for these men. The Sanhedrin was in thrall to the crowds that they were afraid to offend. The apostles were afraid of no one and of nothing.
