Experience Grace in Action

Reflection

Peter the disciple, who not too long before this moment had denied Jesus and would undoubtedly sin in the future, stood up and proclaimed the gospel. He went from denying Christ to proclaiming Christ in a matter of weeks–and he did so with such power that 3,000 people gave their lives to Jesus. This was the beginning of the Church, the first day, and it was an immediate picture of God’s grace.

Sometimes, we will get it wrong, and we will feel like we aren’t living up to our faith, but Christ forgives, redeems, repurposes, renews, and never discards us. We are all valuable to Him and because of this, we can proclaim the same good news that Peter did, to many around us.

Prayer

Lord strengthen us today as we seek to proclaim your gospel to many. We thank you for your grace today and your restorative forgiveness that enables us to keep coming back to you and gives us the strength to rise once more and proclaim your name to many.
