Acts 2:19
“And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;”
This is a quote from the prophet Joel in the Old Testament, that speaks of the last of the last days. Peter’s point is not that the last of the last days are here, but that the beginning of the last days have started. A sign is something that points to something else. We are not to get fixated on the sign, but what the sign points to. That would be like driving to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon, but stopping at a sign on the road that says Grand Canyon ahead, and feeling like you saw all that you needed to see.
The point is
not the sign
But the sign
points to Jesus
We are to keep our eyes on Jesus, and we will see Him today, and at the second coming. If we stop and look at the signs and wonders, we could fall behind in following Jesus today. Lord, help me to keep my eyes on You, to not worry about end times, prophecy or judgement, but work alongside of You today, to expand Your Kingdom, reach lost souls, and walk with Your people as we grow closer to You and each other, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Look at and follow Jesus
