King Herod had Peter put in prison. Worse than that: King Herod planned to have Peter killed! Peter’s church friends met together and prayed for God to help Peter.That night while the people prayed, Peter slept chained between two guards. An angel appeared. “Quick, get up,” the angel said. “Get dressed. Put on your sandals and your cloak, and follow me.” The chains that held Peter fell to the ground.

Peter thought he was dreaming, but he followed the angel as they went past the sleeping guards, through the prison gates, and into the city. Then the angel left. Peter suddenly realized that this was not a dream! The angel had helped him leave the prison. He hurried to the house where the church people were praying.Peter knocked on the door. A servant named Rhoda came to the door and heard Peter’s voice, but she was so excited that she didn’t open the door! Instead, she ran to tell the people that Peter was there. No one believed her. They said she was crazy.

Peter kept knocking and finally they opened the door. The people were so surprised! Peter told them how God had answered their prayers. Then Peter went away to a safe place.

Paul traveled to many places in Greece to tell all the people about Jesus and teach them. Then he went to Athens and waited for his friends to join him. As he walked through the city, he saw many idols that people worshiped, instead of worshiping God. He talked to Jews in the synagogue and other people in the marketplace. Paul told people about the one true God and His Son, Jesus.

Some men who were very smart thinkers heard what Paul was saying. This was new to them, so they invited him to talk in a special place that was like a courtroom. Paul stood in the center and spoke to the men. “I see many places to worship. Let me tell you about the one true God who made heaven and earth and everything in it. He made every person and wants people to worship Him. He wants people to know that His Son, Jesus, came to save people and was made alive after He died.”

and wrong choices.

®THE BIBLE MEETS LIFE: Parents, today’s Bible story is about letters in our Bible. Peter wrote two letters to believers to remind them to keep following God and to make good choices. How do you help your family make right choices?

LIVE IT OUT: Talk about right and wrong choices with your child. Name some things your child may do or be tempted to do. Help him identify which are right choices and which are wrong. Comment that God wants people to make right choices.
