Scripture

“God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this.”

 

Observation

Peter addresses the crowd on the Day of Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit has been poured out on all the disciples.

Jesus’ miracles were a sign that God was leading Him. Sinful people, both Jews and Gentiles, had Him crucified. But God raised Him back to life, for death could not keep hold of Him.

David had written about this in the Psalms- not about himself but prophetically about Jesus.

Now God has raised Jesus from the dead and Peter and all the followers of Jesus are witnesses of this.

 

Application

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the cornerstone facts of the faith. Jesus’ death and resurrection were part of God’s plan for dealing with sin and allowing us to be reconciled to Him.

God raised Christ from the dead, and in doing this proved He is stronger than death.

The victory is won, and all we have to do to share in it is to receive the free gift of Jesus Christ,

 

Prayer

Christ is risen! Hallelujah!

Death is conquered! Hallelujah!
