Mosaic Boston

Today's sermon is based on the first sermon in the book of Acts, preached by the Apostle Peter. At the end of the sermon, it says the crowd was “cut to the heart.” Literally, the Greek word means they were stabbed, as with a sharp object. I believe the imagery used is that of a surgeon, doing a heart transplant. As they heard of God’s blazing holiness, and their grave sin, and God’s unconditional love, God pierced their inner being, removed the cold heart of stone and replaced it with a heart on fire for Jesus.
