What shall we do now? How many times do we realize too late, what we did was so wrong? How many times do we wake up and experience remorse over yesterday? We can only imagine what it must have been like for the people of Israel as they heard Peter tell the truth.
"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" (Acts 2:36-37NIV)
We can’t undo the past, can’t un-ring the bell. Once something has been done we must live with the consequences, it can’t be undone. But we can change, we can repent, we can turn from our sinful ways and turn to God.
When we feel regret and ask the question, “What should we do now?” the answer has been provided by Jesus. He has given us a way out of our sin and regret. He loves, forgives and encourages us to repent and move forward. Forgiveness is there for the taking. Jesus provided this gift to us so that we no longer have to ask the question, “What shall we do now?”
