“It is noteworthy [in Acts chapter 2] that the disciples, who appear
to have been hiding away from their enemies in the spirit of John 20:19,
immediately became different people. They unlocked their door, and
went down to the most public place they could find and there preached
Jesus boldly. This change from cringing cowards to fearless preachers
was permanent. We read of Christians making all sorts of mistakes
afterwards, and they are far from being perfect. But we do not again
read of them hiding away for fear of men. The Spirit altered all that.
From now on they became fearless vehicles of the Spirit in proclaiming
to men the message of the gospel.”
Leon Morris, Spirit of the Living God (Chicago, 1960), page 53.
They unlocked their door
Lord, please make me a fearless vehicle of the Spirit!
