Peter Continues Addressing the Crowd

It is time. The time is now…

22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[d] put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. 25 David said about him:

“‘I saw the Lord always before me.
    Because he is at my right hand,
    I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
    you will not let your holy one see decay.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence.’[e]

Thoughts:
As Peter addresses the crowd, he speaks on the wonders and miracles of Jesus. However, at the same time, he speaks of scripture. He quotes King David. This was the prophecy that was to be and was fulfilled as Peter witnessed.

Understand that you are a witness and a minister of Jesus Christ. Miracles have been given for you to see and hear. You are witnesses for Jesus and as such you should share your testimony. It is your testimony that shows those that see you that Christ is alive in you. He is. He is alive in you. There is no doubt you have had an instance in your life where you knew you were touched by God and the presence of the Holy Spirit was with you. Share it. He will use that to help all who hear it. Trust in the Lord.

Peter knew it. He stood in front of many and professed the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Stand and let others know that through Jesus death has been defeated, vanquished, and no more. With Jesus as our Shepard, we cannot fail. He is always with us. #JesusSaves
