“And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.”
Acts 5:41 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 5:41
The apostles' rejoicing after suffering represents a radical reversal of natural human response, showing Spirit-produced joy transcending circumstances. Being 'counted worthy to suffer shame for his name' reframes persecution as honor and privilege. This paradoxical joy demonstrates Christianity's transformative power.
