33 When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honoured by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed them: Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God. 40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. 42 Day after dayin the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing  because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. What a ambition - This seemed to be the highest point of them following Christ. To follow Christ into his suffering! >>> Where do i stop following? 
point of frustration, in fear, tiredness, insecurity, shame, 
Day after dayin the temple courts and from house to house, They did not change their preaching and teaching habits a little bit - they just continued. >>> Why do i change my habits of preaching and teaching? Fear, insecurity, Sin, living far from God, __
