Act 2:15 For these are not drunk as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.
Interpretation:
So Peter stands up and boldly get the mockers attention to make a point. The point is on a practical level... he just lets them know that they are not drunk.. it is to early for someone to be drunk. Which makes me wonder what did they hear the disciples saying? Did they not hear in their own language the works of God? Maybe they didn't? Maybe they just heard mumbling... maybe their hearts were too hard to hear what God was trying to say? So maybe that is why they accused them of being drunk? I don't know if that was the case but I do know that a hard heart can keep you from hearing God. There have been times where my heart has been hard and when I hear a pastor or someone speaking about God it sounded like mumbling... because I heard it but wasn't listening!
Application:
I pray that God would help me to guard my heart from coldness and hardening, that I would be able to hear and listen to what He has to say.
