Peter’s Sermon Pt. 3

As Peter continues to preach on Pentecost, he shows that Christ is indeed the Lord, the one upon whom we must find refuge and salvation. He proves this through David’s Messianic prophecy, the self-attestation of Jesus, and through the Davidic Covenant established by God. Peter shows us that we can trust that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, as the Lord is a covenant keeping Lord, who does not fail to uphold his promises with his people.

Acts 2:25-31 “For David says concerning him, “‘I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken; therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell in hope. For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’ “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.”
