When we spend time being with impressive people, it changes us. Acts 4 highlights the transformative power of 'being with' Jesus. Peter and John, who were not well educated in their society, displayed extraordinary courage, knowledge and faith because they had been with Jesus. Being with Jesus fills believers with the Holy Spirit, gives them courage to speak His name boldly, and compels them to share their experiences. 'Being with Jesus' is fundamental to discipleship, emphasising relationship over ritual. [Easter 4]
