I Wish I Was There
Did you have one of those ‘I wish I was there’ moments this week? What has been your ‘I wish I was there’ moment?
Sometimes these moments can happen in good situations or in bad situations. As I mentioned on Sunday, Peter’s first sermon on the day of Pentecost is one of those moments for me, as he shared the gospel with boldness and clarity, and as the Spirit of God convicted people of sin and thousands repented of their sins and publicly identified with Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
In Peter’s sermon, he answered the question ‘Who is the Lord that we are to call upon and so be saved?’ To which he explains that the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus resulted in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the bold proclamation of the gospel in their own languages, which the people observed. Jesus is the Lord whom we are to call upon and so be saved.
1. You crucified Jesus, but God raised Him from the dead. (Acts 2:22-32)
2. You crucified Jesus, but God exalted Him as Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:33-36)
3. You crucified Jesus, but God is willing and able to save you! (Acts 2:37-40)
So then, how are we to respond to this good news?
#1 – Repent
The initial response to the good news of Jesus, is to REPENT. Turn away from your sins and trust in Jesus Christ to save you!
Have you repented of your sins? Have you placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord?
If you haven’t, I would plead with you to do so! And if you are interested in hearing more, I would love to talk with you about this.
#2 – Be Baptized
The outward action and expression that flows from repentance and faith in Christ is baptism. It is to publicly identify with Christ.
Have you been baptized? Are you interested in publicly identifying with Jesus? If so, please let me know.
We have a promise in Scripture, that all who repent of their sins, and trust in Jesus alone for salvation, will be forgiven of their sins, receive the Holy Spirit, and are granted eternal life with God.
For this week: Read Acts 2:41-47
