In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, that is, Jesus, who must remain in heaven until the time of universal restoration that God announced long ago through his holy prophets. Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you from your own people a prophet like me. You must listen to whatever he tells you. And it will be that everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be utterly rooted out of the people.’ And all the prophets, as many as have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, also predicted these days. You are the descendants of the prophets and of the covenant that God gave to your ancestors, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your descendants all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.” (Acts 3:18-26, NRSV)
Have you ever really needed a drink?
Needed water so bad, that when it crossed your lips it was the best tasting substance that had ever entered your mouth?
Luke is reminding the community here in Acts, when we turn around and seek the Lord, that He will be present in our lives and will bring about times of refreshing simply ny being in His presence!
Jesus’ presence is the drink of water when we are parched! It is the presence in our lives that makes our lives!
So turn around and see Him waiting to give you the refreshing life you have always wanted!
