Six Inch Sermon
BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
Peter and John Leaders in the
Early Church.
Lesson for May 9: Acts 2:37-41;.
3:1-8; 4:18-21.
Golden Text: Acts 4:13.
The lesson shows Peter and
John assuming leadership in th<
early church. In many respect?
different, they supported eaci
other in their work as leaders.
Peter was in his element
preaching to thousands on th:
day of Pentecost. It would bt
hard to match the occasion ir
another since—3,000 persons vrcrc
brought into the church. Later
as Peter and John went into the
temple to pray, they saw at the
gate called Beautiful a man lame
from birth who was daily laid at
the gate to beg. He asked alms;
Peter gave him better—the power
to wajk and do for himself. Hear
ing of the miracle, a great multi
tude gathered, and Peter had an
other opportunity to preach.
The religious authorities, stir
red to action by those whom they
recognized as followers of Jesus,
tried to intimidate Peter and
John by threats. The answer of
the disciples was bold and un
equivocal. They asked their in
quisitors if it were right to heark
en to God or to men, and de
clared that they would speak the
things they had seen and heard.
The authorities further threat
planting in June for the main
crop. The early row could furnish
early potatoes for August digging
and use, and the vine cuttings
would provide the main crop for
later harvest and storage, Shil-
letter points out.
