Now, some twelve hundred years later, God was coming again with wind and fire. This time, not to impart his law, but to impart his Spirit. It was the fulfillment of Jesus\u2019 promise to his disciples and was the final part of the sequence of events that form the hinge of history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As we read on we learn: <i>Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. \u2026 And everyone was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each<\/i> (2:5).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The cynics in the crowd mocked, and said it was because the disciples were drunk. But Peter was not to be silenced: \u2018The bars aren\u2019t open yet. It\u2019s only nine o\u2019clock in the morning\u2019. Rather, it was the ultimate Author of speech who was reversing Babel so that everyone could understand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What did it mean?<\/b> Dr. Luke goes on to record Peter\u2019s speech in Jerusalem that day: <i>\u201cYou that are Israelites,\u00a0listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. &#8230;And you, &#8230;put him to death &#8230;but God raised him from the dead\u201d<\/i> (Acts 2:22-24).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here was Peter, who had previously vehemently denied that he even knew Jesus, now, in the face of potential arrest and death, courageously speaking out about Jesus. It was God\u2019s Spirit at work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s important to notice that Peter\u2019s focus was not on rules and ritual, but rather on Jesus. He drew attention to Jesus\u2019 divinely empowered works when he healed the sick, overcame the forces of evil, stilled a storm, and raised the dead to life. When people today question Jesus\u2019 miracles, we need to remember that Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, speaks of him as a miracle-worker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>\u201cTherefore let all Israel be assured of this,\u201d<\/i> Peter concluded, <i>\u201cGod has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ\u201d<\/i> (2:36).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Peter\u2019s speech was a logically developed argument and a careful progression of ideas, moving to the climax of the Jesus story \u2013 his crucifixion and resurrection. The Roman and Jewish authorities had judged Jesus guilty and nailed him to a cross. God, however, from his supreme court, had overturned the judgement and had raised Jesus to life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Does all this matter?<\/b> It happened so long ago. Peter\u2019s hearers were <i>cut to the heart\u2026<\/i>, we read (Acts 2:37). <i>\u201cBrothers, what should we do?\u201d<\/i> they asked. Their eyes had been closed, but now suddenly they really understood who Jesus was. They were utterly ashamed. Previously they had mocked the dying Jesus. Now they saw the truth. The Spirit of God was at work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Peter\u2019s response is one we all need to hear: <i>\u201cRepent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven<\/i> (Acts 2:38). He didn\u2019t tell his hearers that they should turn over a new leaf and start living more moral lives. Rather, he focused on their relationship with Jesus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Repent<\/i>. Come to your senses about Jesus. Turn to Messiah Jesus as your Lord and ask for his forgiveness for not honoring him. Because the Messiah died in your place, God holds out his full and free forgiveness to you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That day three thousand responded to Peter\u2019s call to <i>repent<\/i> and <i>be baptised<\/i>. It was the birth of the church. The Spirit of God was taking up the work of Jesus Christ in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Significantly, Peter went on to say: <i>And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him<\/i> (Acts 2:38f). From now on God\u2019s Spirit, as foreshadowed by prophets such as Jeremiah, would come into the lives of all God\u2019s people. Paul echoes this in Romans 8:9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">What God did that day, and what he has been doing ever since, <b>really matters.<\/b> For God\u2019s delight is to draw men and women from all over the world, from every walk of life \u2013 people like you and me \u2013 into a personal, living relationship with himself. Because God is the majestic, all-powerful Lord over everything, his love awakens within us a deep joy and a true delight in him \u2013 come what may.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Over this last week various news outlets have reported an observation of historian and \u00a0biographer, Robert Lacey, about the Queen. He comments: \u2018She feels the poignancy (of the times) but that does not turn into depression or defeat. She sees it in the bigger context of her religious faith and of a God who holds her and her family in his hands. It is the solid and simple faith that sustains her.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sadly, many today who profess to know Jesus Christ have accepted the secular world&#8217;s verdict that God\u2019s people have nothing of importance to live for or delight in. \u2018Fill our lives Lord with your Spirit,\u2019 we need to pray, \u2018so that we may delight in you and experience the deep joy of knowing you.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"\u2018Delighting in God\u2026\u2019\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-05-26T17:12:35+10:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT15M30S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"In these dramatically changed times the Word on Wednesday provides a mid-week ministry of Bible reading, reflection and prayer, turning hearts back to God.\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/word_on_wednesday\/content.blubrry.com\/word_on_wednesday\/delighting-in-god_v5.mp3\" \/><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailURL\" content=\"https:\/\/anglicanconnection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo-1.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"14.2\" \/><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fword_on_wednesday%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fword_on_wednesday%2Fdelighting-in-god_v5.mp3&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fanglicanconnection.com%2Fdelighting-in-god%2F&amp;artwork_url=https%3A%2F%2Fanglicanconnection.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2FLogo-1.jpg#mode-Light&border-000000&progress-000000\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"165\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"blubrryplayer-3\" class=\"blubrryplayer\" title=\"Blubrry Podcast Player\"><\/iframe><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/word_on_wednesday\/content.blubrry.com\/word_on_wednesday\/delighting-in-god_v5.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/anglicanconnection.com\/?powerpress_pinw=29860-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/word_on_wednesday\/content.blubrry.com\/word_on_wednesday\/delighting-in-god_v5.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"delighting-in-god_v5.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 15:30 &#8212; 14.2MB)<\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/3oaVMRpfARBkj4dyfEZcC0\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_spotify\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Spotify\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/anglicanconnection.com\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><p>In this very changed world is there anything that can shake us out of our fears and anxieties, and inject freedom and joy into our hearts?
