Acts 5:30 New International Version (NIV)
30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the
dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.
Peter is making clear that his faith in Jesus didn't just
begin with Jesus. It began with the Patriarchs, the great Jewish fathers. The
God who blessed them also raised Jesus from the dead, even though Jesus had
been executed in the most heinous and degrading way possible for a faithful Jew
— he was nailed to a cross, something that was both illegal and a sign of being
cursed under Jewish Law. He raised Jesus from the dead and exalted him and made
him our Savior and our Lord. Praise God!
Thought for today:
Do I understand all the history that lead to our Christ?
