Acts 2-3

Acts 2-3

I couldn’t even begin to imagine what it was like that day in the upper room.  A day that I’m sure started like many before it and then as sudden as someone kicking in the door the Holy Spirit filled the room and then filled everyone their.  As people began to hear them they started coming over to see what was going on and some began to mock and then Peter stood up and delivered his first sermon.  I’ve heard lots of people say they want to be a new testament church, beware that means that you'll have to get out of your comfort zone.  Peter wasn’t a preacher before this day, he didn’t have time to study and prep what he was going to say he simply stood up in front of thousands and told the story of Jesus and about 3000 people were saved that day.  So are you ready to be the new testament church?  

Peter and John just as humble as can be as the crowd gathered at the temple looking at them as the ones who healed the cripple man simply turn the praise and glory straight to God.  Then taking advantage of the gathering begin to preach the story of Jesus and starts off very boldly telling everyone that they killed the messiah that they had been waiting for.  At this time saying something like that could have easily gotten them both killed.  This is the kind of boldness and humility that we need to embrace, I pray for this kind of fearless boldness to go out amongst the world and spread the gospel wherever I go without fear or prejudice.
