Peter Addresses the Crowd

Peter is able to explain the happenings of the talking in tongues. Amazing!

Acts 2:14-21

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 “‘In the last days, God says,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your young men will see visions,
    your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
    and they will prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved.’[c]

As they had been told, you will know when Jesus returns. I was trying to imagine what it would sound like. Last night’s thunderstorms were certainly loud. I would assume that it will be more obvious than that when He returns.

Many thought the Disciples were drunk. Peter is able to explain that away and get on with his business of shrink the Gospel. Adversity has no place here, just faith. It’s apparent and incredible.

The Holy Spirit is string and with us faily. He will never fail to steer you in the right dirextion. The direction is always toward God. #JesusSaves

Amen
