“But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail during the night, brought them out, and said, ‘Go and stand in the temple, and tell the people all about this life.’” (vv. 19-20)
We ought to keep preaching about the freedom that comes in Christ.
You and I have been wondrously, graciously, mercifully freed by Jesus. Sin’s shackles are done. The pain and the penalty are gone. We are released—by grace, through faith, because of Christ.
You and I have been let out of that prison.
So learn from the Apostles, who showed you what to do when the chains have been left behind:
Tell others about Him.
Our freedom is, in fact, for our good. But it is also purposed. The freed should feel compelled to go, to tell, and to testify. The Spirit sets us free, and the Spirit sets us loose.
Go, then, you who know freedom in the Gospel—and speak the Gospel to the nations.
