Introduction

King Herod (Herod Agrippa I, the grandson of Herod the Great) persecutes the followers of Jesus. Peter is arrested and imprisoned but is rescued by an angel. The chapter concludes with a description of Herod’s death.

Today’s Scripture: Acts 12:5 (GNT)

Peter was kept in jail, but the people of the church were praying earnestly to God for him.

Today’s Reading 

Acts 12:1-25

Reflect

What action did the church take when Peter was arrested? How was Peter rescued? What did the angel say to him? What were Peter’s thoughts while he was leaving the prison? What does today’s reading teach you about belonging to a community of faith?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you are always with me, and you have rescued me from the power of sin and death. Strengthen my faith in my daily walk with you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are being persecuted for spreading the gospel.

Tomorrow’s Reading
