117 A Sign from God

Acts 2:22-41, TBC Book Two, Chapter 117
The large crowd standing before Peter was clearly astonished by what they had seen and heard—uneducated men were miraculously speaking in languages they had never learned! But this was more than a miracle. According to Peter, this was a sign from God, demonstrating that the Holy Spirit was now being poured out upon ordinary men and women.

“Men of Israel,” Peter continued, “this was not the only sign given to you. You know very well that Jesus of Nazareth did miraculous, wondrous things among you. Those were signs attesting that he was indeed sent by God.
​
“And God permitted this man Jesus to be handed over to you, knowing that you, with the help of wicked men, would put him to death, nailing him to a cross. But know this—God also raised him from the dead! It was impossible for death to contain him.”

As the crowd grew larger, people looked at one another in astonishment. . . .
