Set free to preach the Gospel
The high priests and the Saduccees decided to arrest the apostles and put them in public jail in order to stop their influence over the nation. But at night, an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out so that they could go back to preach to the people the full message of the resurrection. (Acts4: 20)
Even though the Apostles were threatened not to preach in the name of Christ anymore, they remain firm in their conviction to obey God rather than men. That is true discipleship. That is truly being a witness of Christ.
We too, can truly become children of the resurrection when we accept to be freed from the fear of men and the captivities of the world in order to please God and God alone. (Read Ps 4:2)
Go and announce the gospel...
Christ is risen, alleluia
