Acts 4:13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and
John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled;
and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Jesus gives
us boldness. It is not the credentials
of a well educated theologian that gives boldness. It is not the number of years that we have
named the name of Christ that gives us boldness. It is not the well rehearsed orations when
challenged that gives us boldness. It is
Jesus Himself that gives us boldness.
Spending time with Him gives us a boldness and surety that no other form
of preparation can give. Our Lord Jesus
awaits our fellowship and gives us confidence when we spend time with Him. As He speaks to us and listens to us a
relationship is established that transcends all other commitments and
loyalties. When we spend time with
Jesus, a fortitude and resolve resonates from our lives enough to make others
notice. Jesus gives this sort of boldness
and only His presence has such power.
