Acts 2:22-28
22"Men of Israel, 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. 23This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[d] put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24But 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. 25David said about him:
" 'I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will live in hope,
27because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
28You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.'[e]
Ben's Comments:
-Luke starts by saying that God proved Jesus to be God - to be their savior by miracles, signs, and other things he did when he was on earth.
- God knew that this was going to happen - it was even a part of his plan!
- God rose Jesus from the dead - Jesus conqured death - and now we can have a relationship with God because of his sacrifice - all we have to do is believe.
- I love the quote from David (25-28)
Questions:
1. Comments on what David said
2. What affect does the fact that Jesus conqured death have on our life?
3. Verse 28 Says:
"28You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence."
you will fill me with joy in your presence."
What do you think that to be filled with "joy in his presence?"
Let me know what you think!
