This is a post for Christians, but comments from all are appreciated...
Here's the setting of the passage of scripture in question.....
Jesus has died, been buried, and raised from the dead. He then appears to His disciples for around forty days. While with them he tells His apostles to expect His helper (Holy Spirit) to come. Approximately ten days later, on the day of Pentacost, the Holy Spirit descends on the apostles and Peter gives a sermon to the Jewish crowds.
The sermon can be summarized as this...Jesus, the man you crucified is the Son of God. You nailed him to the cross, but he has risen and is now ascended to be with God. On hearing this the Jews were cut to the heart (believed) then asked Peter "What shall we do?"
Now, as a Christian, if you preached this sermon to someone, and they were to ask you "What should I do?" what would your answer be?
What would your preachers answer be?
Put your response then go read Peter's response when he preached this sermon in Acts 2
