Just call!

Today's reading is the beginning of Acts 2 - the Day of Pentecost. This is the start of the church, the first sermon is preached by Peter and all those around are amazed at being able to understand what is being said.
I have read this passage of scripture many times, and each year I teach the children about it. However, today I noticed something that I hadn't really focussed on before.  

"And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 

This passage comes from Peters sermon. He is quoting Joel chapter 2. Peter quotes scripture that the crowd know which he did to help them understand what was happening.

The thing I like about this passage though is the fact that is it current today. Even 2000 years later people are accepting Jesus as Lord of their lives. This is so amazing. It is so easy, all we need to do is accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour and that's it - we're saved! Job done!
So many people think that becoming a Christian is restrictive and difficult. Actually it is the easiest and most liberating thing I have ever done. Accept Jesus as your Saviour. Its easy. Just call on Him and he will answer you.
