Christ, His Life



~ Various Views of Jesus Christ in Acts 2 ~

A Man Approved of God  ~  Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know…” (Acts 2:22). 

A Man Rejected by Men  ~  “…Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;…” (Acts 2:23).

A Man Raised Up by God  ~  “…whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it” (Acts 2:24). 

A Man Exalted by God  ~  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). 

A Man Received as Savior  ~  “Then those who gladly received His word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them” (Acts 2:41). 

A Man Acknowledged as Lord  ~  “Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them” (Acts 2:41).

the key question:  “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15).  This is the most important question you will ever answer.  If you do not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
