Acts 2:14-40

I'm having a hard time connecting all the dots in this passage so I will just note what I found interesting.

+Peter was preaching and was well versed in his scripture. He recited and relied upon scripture to make the main points of his speech.

+v 21 "And everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved"

+In verse 21, Peter notes that David spoke about the resurrection of Christ. "Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope because you will not abandon me to the grace, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence" BEFORE the resurrection even occured, David found strength and refuge in it. He spoke words of joy and gladness. Having knowledge of the resurrection now, why is it that many of us don't display a similar joy? Jesus has not abandoned us to the grace but has been resurrection. Why isn't this hope and gladness in the resurrection manifesting itself in our actions and words?

+v37 "Brothers, what shall we do?" Good question. When face to face with the truth, what shall we do? We have the truth right in front of us. We are called to repent (turn from sin and towards the Lord) and be baptized (a sign of faith)(v38). This is what we are called to do. Will we do it?
