📖 Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools [common men with no educational advantages], they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus. —Acts 4:13 AMPC
Peter and John had no formal education. They were unlearned and ignorant men. None of that mattered because of the informal training that they received from Jesus. The mentorship that they received propelled them for the ministry that they were entering. They had learned from the best. The training they received was more valuable and more extensive than anything they could have learned in any school. Education is very important. Training from God is even more important; it will prepare you for what He has for you. Formal education may require you to take classes you will never use in your life, but God’s training is never wasted time. He will take you to a place that will have people marveling. They will know that you have been with Jesus.
