Daily Bread

1. God has poured out his Spirit (14-18)

The disciples, filled with the Spirit of God, were so full of joy and praise that they acted like drunk men. Peter, standing with the Eleven, used this opportunity to proclaim the gospel to the people of Jerusalem. These men were not drunk--they were filled with God's Spirit. God had done what he had promised. The last days had begun; the Spirit of God was poured out on the earth. Despairing young men, who only lived for the weekends, became men of vision. Old men, who only looked forward to the nursing home and the grave, began to dream great dreams.

2. Everyone who calls on the Lord (19-21)

Another great day is coming. It is the day of final judgment. But before this, people everywhere must hear the gospel. It is good news for all people, for 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'


Prayer: Lord, send your Spirit to fill the young men of our times with vision and make them Bible teachers of the world.

One Word: Come, Holy Spirit
