Release … from prison and from death

Morning: Psalm 118; 2 Kings 20:1-21; Acts 12:1-17

Peter’s miraculous release from prison and Jesus’ raising the widow’s son from the dead are astounding, unheard-of events.  People debate whether they happened.  Or are they just stories to remind you – when caught in prisons of your own making, or when grief and loss deaden your spirits – that now and then ‘chains’ do fall off and, inexplicably, you taste freedom?  Or you feel alive again after terrible discouragement or loss. The release really happened, and it’s best described in a story … and all you need then is to decide whom you need to thank for your freedom.
