Acts 5:38-39 So in the present case, I tell
you, keep away from these men and let them alone; because if this plan or this
undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not
be able to overthrow them—in that case you may even be found fighting against
God!
Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, is saying
something important. In his address to the religious elites, he talks about
this strange cohort of Jesus-followers who are constantly upsetting the status
quo in Jerusalem.
As a child, my family and I visited New York City.
Gazing up at the tall buildings, I could have sworn they were moving ever so
slightly. I grew very concerned that the buildings were going to fall at any
moment. A passerby saw my perplexed face and told me that these tall buildings
are meant to flex in the intense winds they encounter. “If they didn’t bend,”
he said, “they would break.”
The resilience at the heart of the church has
nothing to do with us and everything to do with the spirit of the living God
who inhabits and animates it. Jesus has promised that not even the gates of
hell itself will prevail against it.
MOVING FORWARD: Think of the most unlikely
victory in your life. Do you remember how you felt in that moment? How does
revisiting it remind you of God’s goodness?
