1. READ: ACTS 2:32-47
[Acts 2:32] [Peter said,] "'God has raised this
Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. [33] Exalted
to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the
promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
[34] For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
"'"The Lord said to my Lord: 'Sit at
My right hand [35] until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your
feet,'" [Psalm 110:1].
[36] "'Therefore let all Israel be assured of
this: God has made this Jesus, Whom you crucified, both Lord and
Christ.'
[37] "When the people heard this, they were cut to the
heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Brothers,
what shall we do?'
[38] "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.
[39] The promise is for you and your children and for all who are
far off--for all whom the Lord our God will
call.'
[40] "With many other words he warned them; and he
pleaded with them, 'Save yourselves from this corrupt
generation.' [41] Those who accepted his message were
baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that
day.
[42] "They devoted themselves to the apostles'
teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to
prayer. [43] Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and
miraculous signs were done by the apostles. [44] All the believers
were together and had everything in common. [45] Selling their
possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. [46]
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.
They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and
sincere hearts, [47] praising God and enjoying the favor of all the
people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were
being saved."
