Sotirios Panalidis: St. Peter. In today’s lesson, which takes place just days after Christ’s resurrection, Peter addresses an excited crowd – and risks his own life – with amazing boldness and clarity. There’s a reason Jesus chose him to lead his Church; it was only after the Resurrection that Peter came into his full powers as a person, a believer and leader. In this episode, the Holy Spirit has not yet come during Pentecost.
