  2. Physical Imprisonment & Bondage Represent a Spiritual Condition • Simon was “bound by iniquity” (Acts 8:23) • False teachers try to “bring us into bondage” (Galatians 2:4; 2 Peter 2:19) • Sin is slavery (John 8:32-34) • The Lord can set us free!(John 8:36; Isaiah 61:1)

  3. Paralleling Acts 12 to the Spiritual Bondage of Christians • Herod (like Satan) harasses the churchActs 12:1-2; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:17 • Peter is imprisoned(like Christians who fall prey to Satan) Acts 12:3-4; 2 Timothy 2:26; Romans 6:20-21 • God’s people pray for the prisoner’s deliverance. Acts 12:5; Hebrews 13:3;Ephesians 6:18; 1 Timothy 2:1 • The Lord arranges Peter’s escape (like He arranges our escape from sin)Acts 12:6-7; Romans 7:24-25

Paralleling Acts 12 to the Spiritual Bondage of Christians • Peter had to follow directions (like we do)(Acts 12:8-9; 8:22-23; 1 John 1:9-10) • Peter realizes what has been done for Him(Acts 12:10-11; 2 Corinthians 9:15) • Christians need to be ready to recognize what God can do and has done. (Acts 12:12-16)
