What Are We to Do?

Readings:
I Chronicles 1
Acts 2:22:47

Focus:
Acts 2:37:"When they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Friends, what are we to do?'"

I love the way these people responded when they heard the message the apostles gave about Jesus. Their response was simply, "What are we to do?"

Often when we read the Bible we think of objections to or arguments about what we have read, or reasons why what we have read doesn't apply to us. Or we think of it as a nice story that we forget immediately after reading it.

But the best response of all to the story of Jesus--to the Bible--is to think about it and then to say to ourselves, "Now, what are we to do because of this?"
