—Acts 2:29-36
by: Grace Crouch.
With a captive audience, Peter continued his speech. He shared about King David, who was well respected and loved, yet was human and passed away. Still, David knew about Christ and looked forward to his heavenly home.
Not included in today's reading, but still pertinent to this meditation, verse 41 says "Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day" (NIV).
God's desire is to have a relationship with each one of us. God used King David and Joel to point to Christ. Then he used Peter to point to Christ. Now, he is calling us to point to Christ.
