Today we are reading Acts 2. In this chapter we read about the Holy Spirit being poured out at Pentecost. “Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:37-41 ESV The immediate result of the Holy Spirit being poured out is that 3,000 people came to believe in Jesus. How many billions of people are spiritual descendants of these first believers? I get excited just thinking about the eternal impact we have when we share our faith! Invest eternally today. Tell someone the message that God has placed in your heart. May God give you the courage and boldness of Peter! Pastor Tim
