Cut to the Heart: From Conviction to Confession
There are moments in life when everything suddenly shifts—when what once felt distant becomes deeply personal. Acts 2 records one of those moments. What began as a routine gathering for Pentecost quickly turned into a life-altering encounter with truth.
Cut to the Heart: From Conviction to New Life
Peter’s sermon begins not with comfort, but with confrontation. He declares plainly that Jesus—attested by God, crucified by men, and raised by God—is both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36). The crowd is not given the option to remain neutral. They are faced with a verdict: this Jesus whom they crucified is now exalted as Lord. The gospel does not merely inform us about Jesus—it places us before Him. And once we see Him rightly, we must respond.
