Daily Bible Reading – June 2022: God’s Renewing Word of New Life in the SpiritExemplo

June 14

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.

Scripture Reading

Acts 12:1-25

Today’s Key Verse: Acts 12:5

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

Reflect

When Peter was arrested, what action did the church take (verse 5)? How was Peter rescued, and what did the angel say to him (verses 6-10)? What were Peter’s thoughts as he left the prison (verse 11)? Where did he go (verse 12)? How did the members of the household react to Rhoda’s message (verse 15)? What does today’s reading teach you about belonging to a community of faith and the power of intercessory prayer?

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. May my words and actions this day give glory and honor to you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
