Introduction

In speaking to those gathered in Jerusalem on Pentecost, Peter continues his speech, placing Jesus in the line of David as the Messiah. He invites the people to be baptized, and three thousand new believers are baptized in one day. The early church gathers each day for prayer and fellowship.

Today’s Reading

Acts 2:22-47

Today’s Key Verse:Acts 2:38

Peter said to them, “Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven, and you will receive God’s gift, the Holy Spirit.”

Reflect

How did people react to Peter’s message (verse 37)? What did Peter tell them (verses 38, 39)?

What is the promise he speaks of? What does that promise mean to you? How is life among the believers described in verses 43-47? How would you describe life among those who are members of your community of faith?

Pray

I thank you, Lord God, for the gift of your Holy Spirit and for your promise of forgiveness in Jesus’s name. Bind all believers in close fellowship to worship and serve you. Amen.
