If this undertaking is of man it will fail.
But if it is of God you will not be able to overthrow them.
And that is what counts about this tale.
It never did fail.

Does that mean it comes from God.
Who knows.
But these disciples had an honest faith in God.
They suffered death and blows.

Only they knew if they saw Christ resurrected.
Would they have died for a lie.
I believe they saw him resurrected.
That this was no lie.

We have a difficult task too , guided by faith.
We cannot see with our eyes , we only have faith.

……

This plan did not fail
Men prepared to die for it
And then what of us

See Acts 5: 34 – 42
