Acts 4:12-13

2 There is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them."

13 The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men who had had no special training. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. (NLT)

 

The Pharisees knew that Peter and John were common or ordinary men with no special training. But that is exactly who God loves to use to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet this one thing they did notice that stood out more than anything else and that was “they recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.” The more time we spend with Jesus, the more others will recognize that we too have been with Jesus. They will see Jesus living His life through us. The reason that Peter and John could proclaim the Gospel with such boldness is because of the amount of time they spent with Jesus.

There is no one besides Jesus who can save! In all of history Jesus is the only one who died for all people so that they would be reconciled to God. It is the name of Jesus that we need to share with those around us.
