Acts 2:22-47
Peter had become a changed man. In 50 short days he went from being a confused coward to one who could stand before thousands, who had 50 days earlier murdered the Lord, and tell them, “You have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death.” What made the change? It was the Spirit of God and the knowledge of the glory of Christ. What is that glory that so changes hearts?
The glory of Christ is this: He became a Man and was attested by God by miracles, wonders and signs which God did through Him. According to the purpose and foreknowledge of God, He was crucified and died. He was raised from the grave as was prophesied by David 1000 years before it happened, Psalm 16:8-11. He is exalted to the right hand of God. Being exalted at the right hand of God, He sends His Holy Spirit to live in those who repent and trust in His name. As they are filled with the Holy Spirit, they proclaim the glory of Christ to those around them and exhort those around them to repent and be baptized.
Indeed our King is a glorious King! Speak His glory to someone today!
