But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know- this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. Acts 2:14a, 22-23
Greetings in the name of Jesus!
The cross of Jesus is a colossal arrow pointing all people of the world to the way of salvation and “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) This is what the apostles stood up for, filled with the Holy Spirit, amid the same people who condemned Jesus to death. They feared for their own lives as we would. But they were not testifying to a product of men’s machinations. They had learned about all the promises the Father had made in the Old Testament and who they pointed to from Christ himself.
The grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you!
