Good evening, everyone!
Today I read Acts 1-3.
And I want to be honest from the start. Last time I read Acts, I didn't understand everything. So, if I don't have much to say, or if I get something wrong, please leave a comment with your own insight.
So, in today's reading, Jesus has ascended to heaven, and the disciples are in the upper room. While they are there, the Holy Spirit comes down and alights on them, filling them and causing them to speak in tongues.
And they go out, speaking in tongues, and the people gathered there from many nations, hear them speaking each in his own tongue. And many come to glorify God, though some still doubt and think the disciples are drunk.
While this is happening, Peter begins to preach about Jesus and the glory of God.
Oh, but before this, a man named Matthias became the new twelfth disciple.
Then, a lame beggar was carried along to the temple gate where he meets Peter and John, and begins asking them for alms.
Acts 3:6 - But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene-walk!"
And Peter pulled him upright and the man began walking, leaping, and praising God. He didn't take baby steps. He leapt into the temple.
Amazing isn't it? Jesus' miracles didn't stop when He ascended to heaven. They continued on by the faith of His disciples.
As they continue on through our faith.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Acts 4-6.
