So often in life we can be more aware of our fears than of courage. We can mistakenly believe that fear and courage can’t co-exist. But they can. As Nelson Mandela said: “I learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” Peter and John led by example as they stepped out in boldness and courage. Jesus was the source of their courage; they had been filled with His Spirit. But they also prayed, remembered who God was, and they stepped out.
