Intelligent People in Darkness Rejecting Joseph
Acts 5:41 “And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.”
Not long after I was saved I found myself being taunted by someone because of questions I asked in a Sunday school class I was attending. I’m guessing they were things I should’ve known by that time in my life.
A few weeks into the class a wise Christian man handed me a piece of paper with something written on it, and all it said was “Acts 5:41 – memorize it”. At the time I didn’t know the man who handed me the note, but I grew to look up to him and called on him in the early years of my walk with the Lord.
That note is still in my Bible.
The passage in Acts is a good reminder we can be secure in our knowledge of what Jesus has done for us and the truth of what God has told us in His word. Hurling insults, or empty threats, isn’t godly behavior let alone bring glory to God.
Sadly, my family and many others like them were sitting in the audience when Brigham spewed his lies. How I wish they would’ve known about Acts 5:41!
Share the passage in Acts with a Mormon you know and explain how God speaks to all of us at any time!
