The Miracle No-one Wants

I’ll invite you to open your bible with me to Acts
Chapter 5. Chapter 5 is such an interesting chapter
to me in that many times when talking to people
about the Bible they see the Bible like its two
different books with two different God’s. They see
the Old Testament as the law and the New
Testament all about grace. They see the God of the
Old Testament as being legalistic and harsh and the
God of the New Testament as kind and gracious not
realizing that the God of the Old and the New
Testament are one and the same.
Here in Acts chapter 5 we see the judgment of God
being poured out on a husband and wife after Jesus
has gone to the Cross and died for our sins and who
has been resurrected on the third day just as He
said for our justification. Keep in mind this is in the
New Testament and not the Old Testament. So, why
such a harsh response by the Holy Spirit to what
might appear to be not that big of a deal?
