Acts 2:37-41 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 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 will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
For non-Steeler fans, I digress... but the greatest reception of all time was not a football catch, or a party after a wedding; it was when a follower of Christ repented of his/her sins, trusted in Him as Savior, was cleansed and forgiven, and received the Holy Spirit to indwell him or her. HE is what changes our lives now and for eternity. The pass is right on target; the place setting is perfectly arranged; have you received Him?
