While remembering the emotion I felt watching Susan Boyle amaze the judges and the crowd, I’ve just read the third and fourth chapters of Acts with new appreciation.

If you have time over the weekend, am thinking you also may find a smile if you see any relationship between: i.e.  (a) Susan and those who surprised the crowd and (b) The Britain’s Got Talent judges and Caiaphas.

In our conversation about One for All, we recently saw how Caiaphas, the high priest, unintentionally made an inspired prediction while actually being the one who suggested that Jesus needed to die– (by their hands) to save the nation (from the Romans).

Was surprised to see Caiaphas show up once again in the Acts 3-4 scenario (4:6-7), still fighting the Jesus People, but now having to deal with some “ignorant and uneducated persons” who were doing and saying amazing things like, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.  For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:19-20)

Note: The pic? Oh, that’s just a dirty ol’ pigeon :-)…
