Act 5:41 | Family | STEP | Counted worthy ; to be treated somewhat as Christ was, on account of their attachment to him and zeal in his cause. This was an evidence of their likeness and devotion to him. Like him, they despised the shame, and rejoiced in the prospect of coming glory. It is not in the power of the wicked to destroy the happiness of the righteous. They can destroy themselves, but cannot prevent a single individual who loves and trusts in Jesus Christ, from for ever shouting with the heavenly host, "Alleluia; for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." .
