The Savior Won

The Savior Won

“God has made this Jesus,
whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

Acts 2:36

A transformed group stood beside a transformed Peter as he announced: “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

No timidity in his words. No reluctance. About three thousand people believed his message.

The apostles sparked a movement. The people became followers of the death-conqueror. They couldn’t hear enough or say enough about him. People began to call them “Christ-ians.” Christ was their model, their message. They preached “Jesus Christ and him crucified,” not for the lack of another topic, but because they couldn’t exhaust this one.

What unlocked the doors of the apostles’ hearts?

Simple. They saw Jesus. They encountered the Christ. Their sins collided with their Savior and their Savior won!
