Something I read while doing devos today. This was from one of Peter's sermons in Acts - the first one on the day of Pentecost. Starts from Acts 2:14 and continues from there, but I won't be posting that so read it yourself. What I want to address is the crowd's reaction to Peter's sermon:

"'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: 36-37

Cut to the heart.
Cut to the heart.
They were cut to the heart.

I wonder.
How often are we cut to the heart by the magnitude of our guilt? Do we even realize it? Or have we become complacent within a world that tells us nothing's wrong as long as it feels right?
