Peter in Prison

Persecution of the early church continued, with King Herod killing James the disciple. This made the Jewish leaders happy, so Herod decided to execute Peter as well. Peter was arrested and put in jail, chained between two guards with two other guards outside the cell. He and John had escaped from prison before, and Herod was taking no chances. The believers in Jerusalem gathered at the home of John Mark’s mother to pray for Peter.

Although Peter knew he was to be killed the next day, he slept soundly. Suddenly an angel appeared, woke Peter, and told him to put on his sandals and robe. The angel led Peter through the locked cell door, past the sleeping guards, and through the locked outer gate to the street. There the angel left Peter, and he realized this was not a dream…he ws really free!

Peter went to the house where he knew the believers were gathered to pray and knocked on the door. What happened next is the fun part of the story…join us Sunday to find out what happened when Peter knocked. Bring along a friend as well!
