Acts #90 Tyranny Must Be Resisted

Tranny must be resisted, and not passively accepted. When man’s commands clash with God’s commands, we must answer the question, whose authority is supreme? Dear ones, no other being than God is lord of your conscience—God alone is lord of the conscience! May the words of that faithful covenanted minister, Samuel Rutherford, ring ever true:
Truth to Christ [faithfulness, loyalty to Christ—GLP] cannot be treason to Caesar ... (Lex Rex or The Law and the Prince, cited from Mr. Rutherford’s “Preface”).

The main points from our text this Lord’s Day are the following: (1) The High Priest Has No Lawful Authority to Do Evil (Acts 23:1-2); (2) Paul Resists the Tyranny of the High Priest (Acts 23:3-5).
