Summary
Almighty God, grant to your church your Holy Spirit in the wisdom that comes down from above, that your Word may not be bound but have free course and be preached to the joy and edifying of Christ, Holy people, that instead fast faith we may serve you and in the confession of your name abide until the end through Jesus Christ our Lord. The world did not realize, John, the first chapter, gospel of John, the world did not realize the significance of Jesus Christ. So by the grace of God we want to live the righteous life we're not going to be known by the world the world there's immediate conflict in that because of the ways of the world and the ways of God. Because as we look at our life, we'll say well I can see some good or some righteous things coming but you also don't know what's going on inside. Because the church then loses its proclamation, says, we don't like what's kind of going on in the world, or maybe we do like what's going on the world. Then Peter filled with the Holy Spirit said to them, rulers of the people and elders, if we are questioned today because of a good deed done to someone who is sick and are asked how this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead.
