Ordinary People

“Now when the Jewish leaders saw the boldness of Peter and John and found out that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and realized that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts  4:13)

Boldness of ordinary people

In the passage above, we see that the Jewish leaders were amazed by the boldness of ordinary people such as Peter and John and noted that they had been with Jesus; the normal and ordinary were transformed into the extraordinary!

Jesus transforms ordinary people into the extraordinary!

“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” (2 Cor. 3.18 ESV)

Therefore

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Cor. 5:17 ESV)

“And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.” (Col. 3:10 ESV)

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Rom. 12:2 ESV)
