“Unjust Mercy”
Based on Acts 5:12-21, 26-39
“What Does This Mean?”
Questions about Today’s Worship Theme:
Why did the apostles’ witness to Jesus both enrage and terrify the religious leaders?
How can law-abiding Christians rightly follow Peter’s conviction that “we must obey God rather than men”?
What unjust note of mercy appears unexpectedly in Peter’s testimony before the council?
What lessons can we draw today from Gamaliel’s advice not to persecute the apostles?
