UNDAILY Episode 99
Therefore, let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “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. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off — for all whom the Lord our God will call.” With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
ACTS 2, 36-41 (NIV)
Imagine a moment when Apostle Peter stands before a crowd in Jerusalem. The very people who recently cried out for Jesus' crucifixion now listen to him with keen interest. We live in a world where speaking the truth is increasingly difficult. When you turn on the TV, truth seems flexible and negotiable. Our society is more and more imbued with the idea that everyone can live by their own, subjectively convenient "truth." Everyone can have their version of the Bible and hawk it for a few dollars like Donald Trump. Yet, the story we consider today reminds us that there is one unchangeable, eternal truth that has the power to transform lives.
