Christians

I was reading once again in Acts 2 the other day the account of the Day of Pentecost, and somthing jumped off the page that I either had never seen before, or had forgotten about. Look at the reactions of these "God-fearing Jews" throughout the chapter:

1) "Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, 'What does this mean?'" (v. 12)

2) "Some, however, made fun of them and said, 'They have had too much wine.'" (v. 13)

3) "...and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross." (v. 23)

4) "When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Brothers, what shall we do?'" (v. 37)

5) "Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about 3,000 were added to their number that day." (v. 41)

Very interesting that during the course of this event that there were multiple responses to the same situation.

So i ask myself today, 'how am i responding?'

blessings!
