2nd Term
Herod’s
opposition to the Gospel (Acts 12:1-24): Just to vex the church, Herod
killed James. When he saw that the public were happy with this act, he also
took Peter, but because it was the period of unleavened bread, he kept Peter in
prison awaiting execution. Meanwhile, the church kept praying for Peter, and God
answered by sending an angel to free him while the guards were asleep. He
himself had thought it was a vision. When he got to the house of Mary the
mother of John Mark where many believers gathered praying, he knocked and a
damsel named Rhoda recognizing his voice said it was Peter but she was shunned.
When they eventually opened the door, they were astonished to know that Rhoda
was right, and they praised God for the miracle.
