On the day of Pentecost, God sent His Holy Spirit to live in people who obeyed and followed Him. These people became bold witnesses for Jesus. They used the skills God gave them to share the Gospel message.

We can be like the people who believed in Jesus on the day of Pentecost. We can be brave and use our skills to share the Good News. First, we need to not be afraid that people will become angry or reject us. We learned yesterday that while the apostles were speaking, everyone in the crowd heard the message in his own language. Acts 2:13 tells us how some people reacted to this. “But others were laughing at the apostles, saying they were drunk from too much wine.” Did the apostles give up when this happened? No! They continued to boldly speak about Jesus.

Second, we need to trust God if we want to be like those bold Christians. God will work through us to touch other people and cause them to want to follow Jesus. Because God is with us, we don’t need to worry or be afraid.

Maybe someone will make fun of you today because you are a Christian. Or maybe they will tell you to stop talking about Jesus. Don’t give up! Be a bold witness for Jesus!
