It had to be an impressive site! 3,000 plus people standing on the banks of the Jordan River looking at Peter, who was standing waist deep in the water where this group was just baptized. Peter, that great apostle who preached that wonderful Pentecostal sermon, "repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins" (Acts 2:38), stands there looking back up at the people. What a message! What a moment! The broken hearted coming to Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit! What an event!

The Bible records that about 3,000 were added to their number that day. All because the Holy Spirit showed up and a small group of 120 people were willing to go out into the street and be used by the Holy Spirit. So there they were, 3,000 plus standing on the banks of the Jordan River looking down at Peter in the water. The elements of the sermon Peter preached are completed. Every thing he told them to do is done. So, . . . now what?

Haven’t you every wondered what took place the day after Pentecost? It’s like having a great revival moment at your church: everyone is touched in some way by the Holy Spirit. Then they go home. Then the next day they awaken with the idea, "Now what am I suppose to do?"

We in the Church seem to have all the answers, "Live like Jesus!" or "WWJD!" or "FROG." That’s great, but what is this suppose to look like? What am I suppose to do? As when Peter walked out of the Jordan River and looked at the group of people standing on the banks, the church was in its "infancy" stage. I can imagine the questions coming to his mind as he tries to explain to them what needed to take place. Some would only be staying in Jerusalem for a week or so. Others were residents of that great city. But one thing was clear, the "Great Commission" and the "Great Commandment" had to be brought out and worked through.
