*DAILY DEW 29/APRIL/2025* *The Benefits of Being With Jesus* _Key Bible Text:_ *"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 with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus."* (Acts 4:13 (NLT)) _Bible Insight_ Acts 4:13 highlights the remarkable boldness of Peter and John as they stood before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish council. Despite being ordinary men without formal training in the Scriptures, they displayed confidence and courage in their testimony about Jesus. The council's amazement stemmed from recognizing that Peter and John's boldness was a direct result of their association with Jesus. This verse demonstrates that being "with Jesus" transforms ordinary people into extraordinary witnesses. Peter and John's time with Jesus had equipped them with a depth of understanding, faith, and conviction that shone through in their testimony. Their boldness was not based on human abilities but on their relationship with Jesus. The council's observation that Peter and John had "been with Jesus" underscores the importance of intimate connection with Christ. This attribute is not just about physical proximity but about spiritual transformation. As believers, we can draw from this lesson by prioritizing our relationship with Jesus, allowing His presence to shape our lives and empower our witness. Ultimately, Acts 4:13 encourages us to recognize the transformative power of being with Jesus. As we abide in Him, we can expect to reflect His character and boldly proclaim His message, even in the face of adversity. _MEDITATION:_ *"Prioritize your relationship with Jesus, allow His presence and Word to shape your life and empower your witness.”* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_May,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
