The jailers cannot explain
Acts 12:18-19
Read the Bible through:
AM - 2 Kings 14-15 : PM -Luke 24:13-53
But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there (Acts 12:19).

The jailers were clueless. It was beyond them how such a thing could have happened. They had personally put Peter in chains. They had stood watch and done everything within their power to keep him in prison. But unbeknownst to them, a power far greater was at work. They could not explain it, and it cost them their lives.
The person outside of Christ cannot understand the working of God. It is only with the Holy Spirit's illumination we can understand spiritual things. The world today is filled with people who cannot perceive spiritual truth. They live in a realm of darkness that blinds them and clouds their ability to see things in the spiritual realm, costing them their eternal souls.
Lord, shine through me; make me a light to someone lost in darkness.
