Thomas H. Troeger writes,
Who would ever have picked Peter, that wavering and unreliable disciple, to deliver the first major sermon after the ascension of Christ? Yet there he stands before a crowd enlightening and expanding the landscape of the heart: “In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams” (Acts 2:17, quoting Joel 2:28 in modified form from Preaching while the church is under Reconstruction, 152).
What surprising moment has God given you lately? How has your heart been “strangely warmed” and expanded so that you have been moved to speak of your faith out loud?
