TOPIC: THE RISEN JESUS
TEXT: Acts 2:22-32(NKJV)
- 2:22. ” Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know —
- 2:23. “Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;
- 2:24. “whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
- 2:25. “For David says concerning Him: ‘I foresaw the LORD always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
- 2:26. Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
- 2:27. For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
- 2:28. You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
- 2:29. “Men [and] brethren, let [me] speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
- 2:30. “Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
- 2:31. “he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.
- 2:32. “This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
STUDY:
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! We give thanks to God for another Easter day when we remember and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. In today’s text, we see Peter talking to the Jews about Jesus’ life and ministry, crucifixion, death and resurrection.
In his speech, he said that David prophesied the resurrection of Christ, which God fulfilled as witnessed by the Apostles (Psa. 16:8-10). Although Jesus Christ was approved of God to the Jews through miracles, signs and wonders, He was rejected by them.
They put him to death on the cross but God raised him up and made him victorious over death. Have you experienced the risen Jesus in your life and family? You need to call on him to touch your life in a new way today. If you do, He will show you great and mighty things you do not know (Ezek. 33:3).
Do you have anything hindering you from coming to Jesus? Go to God in prayers right now and let the blood of Jesus wash you clean, make you a child of God and a candidate for heaven.
PRAYER:
Father, may the power of the risen Lord draw me closer to you, Amen!
