Who Do You Represent

Acts 4:13 (King James Version)

13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

It was a great movie. Recently, I watched "The Kingdom of Heaven". My favorite part was when the son had been given a parting blessing from his father, and recieved a sword, thus inheriting all the father owned. The part that got me excited was when the guy entered Jerusalem, and was surrounded by some rough looking guys. He grabbed the sword, and as soon as they saw it, they knew who he was. After quizzing the young man concerning his father, one of the rough looking characters retorted...."come with us my lord". WOW! Did you get that? They knew the sword, and knew what it meant. It carried with it authority, power, freedom, acceptance. Because this guy had the sword, they knew that his father had given him all that was his and it now belonged to him.

God has given us the same power. If we hold His sword high, and our lives are clearly a reflection of the father, and the authority He paid for and gave to us, more people will notice that we have been with Jesus. Pastor Jory
