Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The book of Acts tells us how disciples were being arrested, threatened, imprisoned, and beaten. And more than that, the Jewish leaders wanted to kill them, just as they had Jesus. And yet they went on. Not because they were the ones who woke up from a bad dream, but because Jesus did! Jesus is the one who woke up from the dead after being threatened, arrested, imprisoned, beaten, and finally crucified. Jesus was alive, risen from the dead. So the disciples could go on.
