Acts 2:1-47
This passage describes the birth of the Church as it developed from a small group of disciples into a widespread and growing movement that would change the world. Yet we read that people on the outside made fun of what they saw happening, saying that the disciples were just drunk or crazy. That's when Peter stepped forward to explain what was happening.
At times those who are following Jesus, being faithful to God, seem out of place or even out of sync with the world around them. They might even seem crazy to other Christians. In those times, we know that God has sent the Holy Spirit to help us clearly explain what is happening.
It took a lot of courage for Peter to stand up and give this speech, but it is important to recognize that his courage was only a small piece of the puzzle. More importantly, he was open to letting the Spirit direct his words and actions.
In what ways are you called to tell the story, to explain to others how God is working through Christians? If you have sensed that God is calling you to take some kind of action this week, how might you explain it to those around you?
