Here I am. Here are the children the Lord has given me. We are signs and reminders to Israel from the Lord who rules over all. He lives on Mount Zion.

It seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of a parade. We are like people sentenced to die in front of a crowd. We have been made a show for the whole creation to see. Angels and people are staring at us.

I depend on God to save me and to honor me. He is my mighty rock and my place of safety.

Look and see that no one is on my right side to help me. No one is concerned about me. I have no place of safety. No one cares whether I live or die.Lord, I cry out to you. I say,“ You are my place of safety. You are everything I need in this life.”

You have always kept me safe from my enemies. You are like a strong tower to me.

Then Simeon blessed them. He said to Mary, Jesus’ mother,“ This child is going to cause many people in Israel to fall and to rise. God has sent him. But many will speak against him.

We serve God in times of glory and shame. We serve him whether the news about us is bad or good. We are true to our calling. But people treat us as if we were pretenders.We are known, but people treat us as if we were unknown. We are dying, but we continue to live. We are beaten, but we are not killed.We are sad, but we are always full of joy. We are poor, but we make many people rich. We have nothing, but we own everything.

Lord, you give me strength. You are like a fort to me. When I’m in trouble, I go to you for safety. The nations will come to you from one end of the earth to the other. They will gather together and say,“ Our people of long ago didn’t own anything except statues of gods. The statues were worthless. They didn’t do them any good.

The leaders saw how bold Peter and John were. They also realized that Peter and John were ordinary men with no training. This surprised the leaders. They realized that these men had been with Jesus.

Then the angel spoke to Joshua. He said,

We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn’t make us lose hope.Others make us suffer. But God does not desert us. We are knocked down. But we are not knocked out.We always carry around the death of Jesus in our bodies. In that way, the life of Jesus can be shown in our bodies.We who are alive are always in danger of death because we are serving Jesus. This happens so that his life can also be shown in our earthly bodies.Death is at work in us. But life is at work in you.
