Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-25

Acts 4:13 (NKJV) 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

There are many things we can glean from this verse when it comes to the effects of our relationship with God on our lives.

This relationship with our Creator and Redeemer is not benign. It is not without consequence or impact. Or at least it should not be as such.

Spending time with Jesus brings change.

Jesus impacted the lives of untold numbers of people during the brief time He walked the earth and ministered to those who came to hear Him speak and teach.

He changes the lives of those whom He touched, physically and spiritually.

Jesus spent three years with His disciples, teaching and shaping them for what was to come after His ascension.

And based on the verse above, He was wildly successful in doing so.

The disciples were uneducated, untrained, and unrefined in the eyes of the world.

But in the eyes of God, they were powerful; mighty men that He used to attack and break down the powers of darkness on a global scale.

How does our own relationship with Jesus affect us or impact others?

Do they see and hear the effects of this heavenly relationship in our lives?

This is not about intellect or knowledge in the earthly sense.

How has Jesus changed us spiritually, in ways that impact the kingdom of God?

How does our presence in places affect the atmosphere?

These are the questions we need to ask ourselves.

Do people around us know that we have been with Jesus?
