A Message for the World
One of the most
powerful parts of Peter’s sermon is this: it was for everyone. He boldly
declared that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone and that “everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” This was radical for his
audience, who believed the Spirit and salvation were reserved for a chosen few.
But the gospel
message is inclusive in its invitation and exclusive in its means—it’s
available to all, but it comes only through Jesus.
Our world still needs
this message. People are searching for hope, truth, and purpose. We have it—but
will we speak it?
Scripture:
Matthew 5:14-16 - You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Look for ways to live out your faith in both word and action.
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for saving me. May my life and my voice point others to You.
