Great Message Revealed1.The Reaction of some Jews: “Now

when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brethren, what shall we do.’” (2:37)

2.Peter’s response is the great message of the gospel!“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.” (2:37-38)
