They believed that even one soul was worth any cost that might come
their way. Let's not fool ourselves for a second. Everyone in that upper
room knew that to fully come out this door and profess Christ could be a
death sentence to them.

We today could lose our jobs. We today might be snickered at by a
sneering society. We today might be cancelled.

We today might find ourselves on the losing end of some social system
that wants to shut down the voice of God. But they knew that when they
stepped out of that upper room, they could be put to death for following
a Savior that the society of their time was in no mood to have
resurrected in their midst.
