Acts 2.14
But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice
and addressed them: ‘Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be
known to you, and listen to what I say.
After Jesus’ Ascension into
heaven, his followers didn’t have a clue what they were supposed to be doing,
or how they would do it. They knew they were supposed to take Jesus’ message
out into the world, but they were a bunch of fishermen, tax- collectors and
women, who no one would be likely to listen to. What hope did they have?
On the Day of Pentecost they
were all gathered in an upper room in Jerusalem, when something they described
as like a strong wind or flames of fire descended on them, and they felt
suddenly empowered by God’s Spirit to speak. They rushed out into the streets
and began preaching. The crowd were amazed, and wondered if they were drunk,
but Peter stood up and began to speak, and everyone listened. (You can read the
rest of his speech in Acts 2.)

Peter found his voice on the Day of Pentecost, and
began the mission he had been given by Jesus. What do you think God is calling
you to do?
