Your Choice
Jerry Watts
Acts 2:36-41
As we continue our series entitled, ''A New World Coming'', I invite you to Acts 2 for a message entitled ''YOUR CHOICE.'' The 2nd Chapter of Acts is the CenterPoint of the book of Acts. In the first 13 verses, we read about the coming of the Holy Spirit, the Promised One of God. He came in such a way (sight, sounds, sensation) that the community came to see what was going on in church. When the lost world saw it, they didn't understand it, so Peter preached the short Pentecost message to explain it to them. He concluded abruptly, leaving them with a choice.
Let's read our text. We like to read this text and think about 3000 joining the 120 and the 'church' growing. This is good but lets us never forget one thing: THEY HAD A CHOICE and THEY MADE A CHOICE. They had two choices. They could continue like they had been living, in their own world which consisted of sin, death, and hell, OR they could choose this Jesus, who had defeated sin, death, and hell, and of whom God had made Lord and Christ. The choice was theirs and today the choice is ours!
We make choices every day and we like making choices; we think it puts us in control. We decide what car we drive, clothes we wear, food we eat, and so much more. In fact, choices are a part of everyday life. One of my all-time favorite songs was written by Robert Sterling and recorded by the late Luke Garrett.
Grasp these words as we begin: ''Some say life is just a series of decisions, we make choices, we live and learn. Now - I'm standing at the crossroads, and I must choose which way to turn.'' In our text, Peter has just laid out the case for Jesus' new world which He fashioned by fulfilling the scriptures. Four things permeated the place.
The Unchangeable Reality - Vs 36 - Peter said, ''Therefore, YOU must be certain, assured, and clear about this, God made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.'' Every concept in this verse is important which mak ...
