“God has made this Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

The church modeled after Acts 2 must have the exaltation of Jesus as its main message and mission.

Some prophecies given by God through His prophets are universal, applying to every nation. “In the Last Days I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh” is one of those. But some prophecies are specific to Israel, though they have worldwide implications. God gave prophecies (we call them promises) to Abraham and David. To Abraham He said he would have a people and a place for those people. Those people are called the nation of Israel and that place is also called Israel. Those are God’s ancient promises, prophecies, and place.

After preaching about the universal promise of the outpouring of the Spirit in the Last Days, Peter zeroes in on the prophecy given by King David. God made a promise to David that one of his descendants would rule over the house of Israel and of his kingdom there would be no end, either chronologically and geographically.

In the context of Acts 2, Jesus had been raised from the dead, so Peter quotes the prophecy given to David (Acts 2:25-28), then proceeds to explain that this prophecy was not really about David but about his son and eternal heir to his throne. Here’s where we enter our text of Acts 2:29-37. David’s tomb was a tourist attraction when Peter was preaching. His bones were still in his grave. But what David was really prophesying about was the resurrection of Christ, the son of David. Jesus answers that prophecy of Psalm 16 in Acts 2:27,31.
