Summary
Acts 12 reveals Jesus's commitment to rescue his bride—the church—through Peter's miraculous prison escape and Herod's judgment. Peter's physical deliverance mirrors the spiritual rescue believers experience through Christ, demonstrating that nothing can stop Jesus from protecting and defending those who belong to him.
Highlights
Do not underestimate the lengths to which Jesus will go in order to rescue his bride.
The church is designed by God in such a way that it would be so intimately connected within itself that if any part of the church body would experience pain, the rest of the body would feel it too and fall to their knees in prayer.
There is no darkness inside of you that Jesus is afraid of. And there is no darkness in you that Jesus cannot save and heal you from.
