So repent [change your inner self–your old way of thinking, regret past sins] and return [to God–seek His purpose for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out, completely erased], so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a cool wind on a hot day];
ACTS 3:19 AMP
Glory and Praise to the King of Kings for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Today’s scripture is part of the Sermon preached by Apostle Peter after the healing of the lame man at the beautiful gate. Peter used the opportunity to present the gospel to the crowd that gathered in amazement at the healing of the lame man.
The Apostle made it clear that Jesus Christ whom they ridiculed and killed is the source of the power by which the lame man had been healed.
The simple message therefore was for them to repent and Return to the Lord so they may be forgiven of their sins and enjoy the presence of the Lord.
This message is relevant to us today, Jesus Christ is ready to accept us and forgive us of all our sins if we come to Him to forgive us and cleanse us.
May we all repent and Return to God for His forgiveness and cleansing. May we encounter His presence and restoration in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
