- Do you remember when you were a young Christian and how you heard the message of salvation? Then do you remember how joyful you were when you were a young Christian? That was because life in Christ was new to you and there was so much to learn and know, life on earth now took on a perspective. As these people gathered the at the Temple, they were hearing the message of the true Gospel from the 120 who were gathered together waiting for the Promise. Peter had now begun to preach the true Gospel and God had prepared the hearts of the people and on that day three thousand were saved. The people who were gathered had known about the same old rituals of their religion but now Peter was speaking the words of eternal life through the Lord Jesus Christ and the people “gladly” heard him. The word “gladly” in the Greek means “joyfully.” Joy is one of the great tenets of the Christian faith. In fact, it is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. (Gal 5:22 KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, When the Lord Jesus spoke to the crowds it is written that the common people heard Him gladly. (Mark 12:37 KJV) David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. There is even joy in the presence of the angels when a person becomes saved. (Luke 15:10 KJV) Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. It is a shame that the modern versions omit the one word that describes the mood of the crowd who heard Peter speak and the way they received the word of God. Then again there is no joy in the false religion of Gnosticism which the modern versions follow.
