Today we are reading Acts 2. In this chapter we are reading about the response to Peter’s sermon. ”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 God prepared people who had gathered from all over the world to receive the Gospel from Peter. The multiplying factor was that as these people returned to their homes they shared the message along the way and in the far away lands they were going back to. It would be fascinating to trace this spread of the Gospel. Even more interesting would be to trace how the Gospel spread through the centuries and eventually came to you! Now look to the future—who will the Gospel reach through you? May God use you in a mighty way! Pastor Tim
