Can we trust the Lord? "His commandments are not burdensome and yet we hear people saying, 'living the Christian life is so difficult.' "
*Abraham trusted God that he would raise Isaac from the dead.
*Paul trusted even when he was told by GOD that he would suffer for his name.
Courage= Be bold
Acts 6:11, 21:28 Stephen and Paul were charged with the same offence.
23:11- More than 40 men ( Israel tested 40 years. Jesus tempted 40 days. 40 years until 70a.d.) ((Foreshadowing..Imagery))
Matt 23: 29-30 'You bear witness against yourself.' God is getting our attention about 70 A.D
Luke 3- Jesus' inauguration. The new creation. Imagery of when the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Ps. 2- The new Adam and the new Israel. This ushers in the new creation.
