Acts 2:37
“Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?””
What does Acts 2:37 mean?
When Peter finished explaining how Jesus had been crucified, the people listening felt the weight of it hit them hard. That phrase "cut to the heart" means they weren't just intellectually convinced, they were genuinely shaken, realizing they had participated in something devastating. Their question, "What shall we do?" shows a turning point: they weren't defensive or angry anymore, but open and asking for direction. It's the moment when understanding becomes personal, and people move from knowing something to being ready to actually change because of it.
