—Acts 2:29-42
by: Ruth Burdick.
Peter continued his speech explaining how Jesus fulfilled the promise of God to David that his descendant would be King on God’s throne forever. Jesus died, was raised, and went back to heaven—this being witnessed by all the group of apostles standing with Peter. Jesus then sent the Holy Spirit to all those to whom they witnessed now. Peter challenged all Israel to repent and be baptized, and many made the decision and received the Holy Spirit. This promise was for all called by God. Believers then devoted themselves to the apostles teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.
