MatinsEpistle Reflection
When we were still helpless,
Christ died for the wicked at the time God chose.
One of us might dare to die for someone good.
But now we see God’s love;
while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
New Testament Reading - The apostles’ teaching and fellowship
36“Therefore I clearly state to everyone in Israel that God has made this Jesus you crucified to be the Lord, the Messiah!”
37These words of Peter’s moved them deeply, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38And Peter replied, “Each one of you must turn from sin, return to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; then you also shall receive this gift, the Holy Spirit. 39For Christ promised him to each one of you who has been called by the Lord our God, and to your children and even to those in distant lands!”
40Then Peter preached a long sermon, telling about Jesus and strongly urging all his listeners to save themselves from the evils of their nation. 41And those who believed Peter were baptized — about three thousand in all! 42They joined with the other believers in regular attendance at the apostles’ teaching sessions and at the Communion servicesa and prayer meetings.
43A deep sense of awe was on them all, and the apostles did many miracles.
