"WHAT SHALL WE DO?" BY, C.R. NICHOL AND R.L. WHITESIDE

                                                 " WHAT SHALL WE DO?"

    This is the most important question ever asked by the human race. It is

 still important in that it has to do with a person leaving a life of sin and

 coming into a true relation with God.

Acts 2 is the setting in which this question was asked.

   Peter and the other apostles preached convincing the Jews of their guilt in the

crucifixion the Son of God. Being convinced that they were sinners, they show

by this question they had surrendered to Christ. Their hands were stained

 in blood. People are disposed to maintain a position once decidedly taken.

 No people have ever more thoroughly commited themselves, than  these Jews

for the crucifixion of Christ. They were overwhelmed by the proof of His divinity

 as presented by Peter. They were left with not a vinage of ground to stand on. 

If ever there was a people prepared to prove that Peter did not present the facts,

  these people were those people.

They were in the very shadow of the cross, in the very city where the crucifixion

had taken place. In short, they were parties to the death of the Lord, and every

 detail was fresh in their minds. Like brave men, honest men, they

acknowledged. their mistake, their wrongs, and cried out, "What shall we do?"

They surrendered, and gave up.

 What do you think of people in this day, so far removed by time and distance

 from the scenes of the crucifixion, who insist that these men were fools---in

allowing themselves to be so easily convinced by  Peter?

    My friend, read the rest of Acts, Chapter Two, to get the rest of the story,

 and see how these people became a part of the Lord's Church.

 If you need to surrender your life to Christ, just follow this vivid example. 

He is waiting for you.
