The First Sermon after the Resurrection
Acts
Before we know about the sermon, we must first know about the day.
A few things about the day:
It was a glorious day
It was the day of Pentecost
It was the day the Holy Spirit came to the Apostles
The Sermon
Who and What
Given by Peter, with the other Apostles with him
Before they started, they had to address something
That they were not drunken
It was to prepare them for the truth
The resurrection of Christ
It’s the most important part of the sermon
The purpose of the resurrection was to serve at the right hand of the Father
The evidence of the resurrection David said it would happen
The eye witnesses of the resurrection The Apostles all saw it
The Audience
They were moved because they realized they were responsible for killing Jesus
They asked what they should do
Peter told them they needed to repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus
Peter told them that only they could do that, that he and the Apostles could not do it for them (that they could not save them)
It’s not easy to accept that answer, many people would rather be told to give or do some other act. Many do not understand that it is that simple. That all we have to do to receive our home in Heaven is to repent and ask Jesus to save us.
Our Faith is not always based on understanding, but it is based on faith
