God had miraculously released Peter from prison. During the night, as Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, he was woken by an angel and his shackles fell off. Then the angel escorted him out of the closely guarded cell, past other guards and into the street (Acts 12:5-10). Peter made his way quickly to the large house in Jerusalem where the church often met. Initially, Rhoda the servant girl who heard Peter knocking did not open the outer door, presumably for security reasons, but joyfully reported that he was outside.

“I start my day with Word@Work, and take it with me throughout the day in my thoughts. A lot of the Scripture I am familiar with, but the commentary usually gives me a new perspective. It's sometimes feels odd on weekends when I have to start my day without Word@Work.”
