Witnesses to the Risen Jesus and Coming Kingdom
What to notice today
Today's readings show God's judgment through Ezekiel's prophecies against Jerusalem and Tyre, while simultaneously opening the New Testament with Jesus's final commission to His disciples. Peter's speech at Pentecost in Acts 2 connects Old Testament promises to Jesus's resurrection, demonstrating how the Holy Spirit empowered the apostles to witness boldly despite opposition. The contrast between God's devastating judgment on unfaithful Jerusalem and His grace extending salvation through Christ to all nations frames the transition from law to gospel.
