The king was sure he only ordered Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fiery furnace. So, where did the fourth person come from? Who was it? The king praised God! When we stand firm in our witness to God, the world is able to see God through us.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were threatened by the king because they would not worship his idol. The young men’s’ confidence was a result of the trust they had in God. Because they knew God’s power, they were not willing to worship anything else

The love that God had for the world spurred Christ to offer his life for us. The love we have for God, then, spurs us to offer our lives in love for each other.

If you want to know what kind of faith in Jesus you have, look where your feet have been.

The Disciples of Jesus' compassion for the people. That's why they thought it was a good idea to send them home to get something to eat. But Jesus had a better idea for the disciples.

If God tells you to do something, do it. Christ has told us to prioritize the Kingdom of God--do it!

Paul met Lydia, a servant of God. After she & her house were baptized, she asked Paul and his company to stay with them as a sign that she was, “faithful to the Lord.” Even after Christ has been raised, people need to be encouraged in their faith. We need encouragers.

Peter was shown that everyone belongs to God. He, and others like him, had tried to exclude others, but the apostle learned that was not God’s plan. Even after Christ has been raised, people are still excluded from the family of God. We need people to serve.

Peter was able to raise someone from the dead. It was something he had seen Jesus do several times. Christ’s compassion brought healing to many people, and People followed his example. Even after Christ has been raised, there are still people who are hurting. We need healers.

Easter people cannot help but reach out to the world around them because that is exactly what Christ did for us.
