Constantly Affirming

Acts 12:15 KJV
And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

When Rhoda came to the praying company with news that Peter was at the door, they all accused her of madness.  But Rhoda knew the truth. Peter had in fact escaped the prison, escaped execution and was at the door of that very house at that very moment. Having the truth, Rhoda constantly affirmed that it was even so.
  • She would not quit
  • She would not give up
  • She would not back down
The truth was at the door. Peter was there.

Why, if having the truth then, would Christians quit, give up or back down with our message about Jesus Christ? The truth is as plain as Peter on the other side of the door.
  • The impact of Christianity upon world history
  • The testimony of countless numbers of Christians
  • The reality of faith in our own soul
proves to us that Christ is alive today and that He is just on the other side the door of each soul's heart, waiting to come in.
  • To save
  • To fellowship
  • To strengthen

We must constantly affirm before those around us that it is even so.
