Thought Questions

What does it mean that “through (by) the hands of the apostles” these miracles were performed? Where did the miracles originate? Why is this important to know, and how can we apply this for God’s work in our lives?
Why didn’t the rest dare to join them? Would you have joined them?
Although “none of the rest dared to join them,” the next verse says that there was a multitude of believers. How do you explain that? (read verse 15) Would you be a believer despite the risks, or just for the healing?
Why did the angel release the apostles? Why does God not always release His people from prison?
Was there a risk in doing what the angel asked them–to go right back under the priests’ noses? Why did they obey anyway?

My prayer is:
to have the willingness to do God’s works through my hands;
to have the boldness to preach Christ wherever He leads me to, despite the risks;
and to know that God will make a way for me to do His works for Him, no matter how impossible the situation may seem, even if He has to send an angel to help.
