A thought from my bible reading that I did this morning, Acts 5:40-42 NIV (written below):
It's amazing that the apostles (after subsequent warnings, floggings and being told not to preach the name of Jesus), in Acts 5:41: "left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name".
Amazing! Imagine celebrating after receiving floggings for the name of Jesus! Crazy! But I really hope to have faith like that one day =D.
