Light from the Old Testament Upon the Acts 8: Humility and Boldness

We look today at the result of the healing of the paralytic and the trial of the apostles Peter and John before the Jewish leaders, seeing Acts 4:1-22 in the light of Exodus 34:29-35; Deuteronomy 13:2-4; Psalm 118; Isaiah 43:11, 45:21-23; Luke 20:1-17; 2 Corinthians 4:4-6; and Philippians 2:5-11. God uses the humility of the fishermen to bring 5000 men (with their families) to the LORD, and makes them “most wise” in their hour of trial.
