Filled with the Spirit, the apostle Peter pulled back the curtain of the divine drama to reveal what God was doing. As the reader may have anticipated, these are “the last days” of which the prophet Joel spoke. The Messiah’s Kingdom had now come with power. However, the Jewish people had already found themselves on the wrong side of history, because they collectively rejected and killed the God’s Anointed King. But God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He is willing to extend pardon, even to his Son’s executioners, provided they repent and are baptized in the name of Jesus the King.

PRIMARY TEXT FOR THIS MESSAGE:
“But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’" (Acts 2:14-21, ESV)
