Peter in Prison, Sleeping Between Two Soldiers
Acts 12:5
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church to God for him.


A beautiful picture of —

I. CHRISTIAN FAITH, which in prison and in the horrors of death lies sleeping like a child in the bosom of God.

II. DIVINE LOVE, which stands with its eyes open over its sleeping and bound children day and night.

(K. Gerok.)
