REFLECTION

“Can’t you just imagine this scene? A huge crowd was gathered in Jerusalem for the Day of Pentecost, and Peter was preaching. He was pleading with the people to repent and turn away from the evil around them and turn toward Jesus. “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation,” he urged them. What happened? Three thousand people believed his message that day and were baptized. Peter was not content to hide in the shadows and blend in. He was determined to be an outspoken advocate for Jesus, even in the midst of what could be a very hostile crowd. After all, these were the same people, who a few days before, had been shouting to crucify Jesus. I want to show that same willingness to speak up for Jesus. I have no desire to blend into this corrupt generation. I want to stand out and apart. I want to publicly take a stand for my Lord and identify with the people of God.”

THINK ABOUT IT

Let your goal be to have a countless number of witnesses who can testify that you faithfully identify with Jesus of Nazareth.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, I want to honor You with words and actions that come from an obedient heart. Forgive me for when I’ve been silent—too timid or afraid to reveal my relationship with You. Holy Spirit, empower me with boldness to be an outspoken advocate for Jesus of Nazareth. In His name, Amen.
