And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
Note 3 at Acts 5:41: What a great attitude! These disciples had so completely lost themselves in God that they didn't think about personal suffering. Instead, they were rejoicing that they had been effective enough in their witness to suffer the same shame that Jesus had encountered at these men's hands. What a great honor to suffer shame for being associated with Jesus! Jesus died for us. The least we can do is live for Him regardless of the costs.
