Today's Verse - Acts 2:41 (KJV)

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

—Acts 2:41 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Wow! Wouldn't it have been great to see 3,000 people baptized and added to God's people today? Those who accepted Peter's message at Pentecost were baptized, and the beginning of the early church started with an incredible celebration of grace. (South of the Temple Mount are as many as 350 mikvah pools where these people would have been baptized.) Earlier that day, only a small group of Jesus' closest followers had met to pray, just as they had done for several days since Jesus' ascension. As night fell that day in Jerusalem, the number had jumped to over 3,000! Acts 2 stands as a hallmark passage showing us the message of salvation, the response of open hearts, and how the Holy Spirit uses this simple message to bring seeking hearts to salvation and community. Why don't you read Acts 2 today? Jot down what Peter says about Jesus. Notice what Peter tells the people to do to be saved. The Gospel is still just as simple, so let's not only study it; let's share it, praying for God to bring revival to our times and in our broken land!

My Prayer...​

Holy and Most High God, please breathe your Holy Spirit out upon us. We ask that you bring true revival today to our churches and salvation for millions who are lost in our world. I pray this, in Jesus' name. Amen.

So many lost souls coming to Jesus. Wonders of wonders. Jesus love and mercy draws anyone who seeks peace and happiness in this life.

I was raised a Methodist and knew Jesus at an early age but it always bothered me I had only been sprinkled and one night I went to a service where they had planned to baptize and smiling I asked if I could join them and although I had no clothes with me they gave me a choir robe and let me be baptized like Jesus and I have to say I am so thankful but I did have to explain a few things when I came home that night with wet hair laughing.

I was baptized in the Holy Spirit of God and it was so wonderful to walk with the Lord ever since. I will never ever separate myself from my loving and caring heavenly Father who loves me with all His heart.
