Bible Reading: Acts 2: 22 - 39
Topic: Hailing Or Nailing Jesus
The promise of Jesus in
Acts 1: 8 is fulfilled in today's text. After the Pentecost, Peter's first
message to a crowd brought in three thousand souls that repented.
How did this happen?
Peter was straight and
forthright in his message.
The crux of Peter's
message was that Jesus Whom the Jews despised and crucified was indeed the
Messiah God had sent to them.
Peter went on to show how
God endorsed Jesus as the Messiah through the miracles He performed and His
death and resurrection yet the Jews for whom He came conspired to kill Him.
Touched by the message and
its indictment a good number of Peter's listeners sought forgiveness through
repentance and baptism.
"All have sinned and
come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3: 23)
You were not there when
the Jews crucified Jesus just as many of Peter's listeners were not there too.
But as long as you
continue to reject the saving grace Jesus gives, you are crucifying Him.
If also you are a Child of
God and you are not living worthy of that Name, you are crucifying Jesus.
Are you hailing or nailing
Jesus?
Prayer:
Thank You Jesus for dying
on the Cross for my sins, Amen
Memory Verse: Acts 2: 39
"For the promise is
unto you and your Children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord God shall call"
