“But Peter, standing with the eleven disciples, raised his voice…” Acts 2:14
Words are never enough. In the wake of our weekly tragedies, there is always plenty of talk: what needs to be done (but rarely is), who is to blame (never the speaker), and all the insistent, insufficient and insufferable blather about ‘thoughts and prayers’. But still, something needs to be said.
Fed up, and fed by the Spirit, the apostle Peter finds that something needs to be said. And he stands with his friends, and raises his voice, and finds the courage to say it. And then acts on his words.
Time for us to do that too.
See you Sunday,
