Confronted with The Last Days

March 14, 2021 • Matthew Henry • Acts 2:14–21

Peter stands and delivers a powerful and densely packed sermon to this crowd of Jews after the Holy Spirit filled and moved in the early Church. It is a sermon that explains what is happening, what happened to Jesus Christ, why it happened and their own responsibility and guilt in it. It is a call to repentance but it is not a man-centered message. It is designed to teach and explain while holding nothing back. The effect and the results are left to God and it is a mighty act God does in response.
