The Sanhedrin had commanded Peter and John not to preach about the resurrection under threat of punishment. In this passage we see the boldness of the apostles. They were ready to go anywhere and everywhere in defense of the Gospel. What is the “Good News?” I 1 Cor. 15, sometimes called the resurrection chapter, verse1-4 tell us that Gospel consists of the fact that Jesus died and was buried and that He rose from the dead. Let’s look at the boldness of the apostles and seek to have that same kind of boldness today.
We must know what we believe and why. We must believe that the Word of God is inerrant and infallible. If we know what we believe and why we can have boldness in presenting the Gospel to a lost world. In Jude 3 there is a passage that fits the situation, “Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.”
