The Unhindered Harvest Acts: The Unhindered Harvest

Acts 5:27-33 When they had brought them, they stood them before the Council. The high priest questioned them, saying,

“We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.”

But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. “The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.

“He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

“And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” But when they heard this, they were cut to the quick and intended to kill them.

The Empire Strikes Back Acts 4 – Intimidation Acts 5 – Sin Acts 5 -- Violence Acts 6 – Dissension Acts 7 -- Death

The Empire Strikes Back The goal of Satan is not to discourage you but to thwart the redemptive work of God.

The Occasion God was working powerfully Many were being saved Popularity was booming

The Empire Strikes Back Selfish ambition Escalating intensity Arrest Beatings Ineffectiveness

The Gospel Counter God’s provision Message of “this Life”

Message of “this Life” Obedience to God The Resurrection The Cross Repentance Forgiveness Witness

The Gospel Counter A prophetic picture The joy set before them

Joyful Servants Not rebellious Clothed in respect and humility Willingly accepted consequences Deferred only to God’s authority

“…disciples under persecution in Acts are in continuity with their Lord; the context of persecution is mission; persecution is the occasion of divine triumph; persecution is firmly placed within divine providence…” (Peterson, pg. 217)

God’s provision isn’t primarily about our safety or comfort Trust the message Opposition will not last forever Reaping the Harvest

Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
