fff. This is why it is so important to understand that <strong>the</strong> Pentecostalsactually hurt <strong>the</strong>ir testimony for <strong>the</strong>y do not do at all what <strong>the</strong>workers <strong>of</strong> miracles in <strong>the</strong> NT didggg. Look at James 5:13-16. If this were happening today, <strong>the</strong>reshould be no Pentecostal believers who die!The promise to David and <strong>the</strong>ir sin in rejecting Jesus Christ – Acts 2:29-36Act 2:29 "Bro<strong>the</strong>rs, I can tell you confidently that <strong>the</strong> patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is hereto this day.Act 2:30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one <strong>of</strong> hisdescendants on his throne.Act 2:31 Seeing what was ahead, he spoke <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> resurrection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Christ, that he was not abandoned to <strong>the</strong>grave, nor did his body see decay.Act 2:32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fact.Act 2:33 Exalted to <strong>the</strong> right hand <strong>of</strong> God, he has received from <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> promised Holy Spirit and haspoured out what you now see and hear.Act 2:34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my righthandAct 2:35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."'Act 2:36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured <strong>of</strong> this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lordand Christ."o) As Paul taught in Phil 2, we have this from Adam Clarke’s CommentaryAct 2:33By <strong>the</strong> right hand <strong>of</strong> God exalted - Raised by omnipotence to <strong>the</strong> highest dignity in <strong>the</strong> realms <strong>of</strong> glory, to sit at<strong>the</strong> right hand <strong>of</strong> God, and administer <strong>the</strong> laws <strong>of</strong> both worlds.The promise <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Ghost - This was <strong>the</strong> promise that he had made to <strong>the</strong>m a little before he suffered, asmay be seen in Joh_14:16, etc., Joh_16:7, etc., and after he had risen from <strong>the</strong> dead. Luk_24:49, and whichas <strong>the</strong> apostle says was now shed forth.This is what I call a short sermon! (vs. 17-36)The result <strong>of</strong> this short sermon – a simple question. <strong>the</strong> people concerned and 3000saved – Acts 2:37- 41Act 2:37 When <strong>the</strong> people heard this, <strong>the</strong>y were cut to <strong>the</strong> heart and said to Peter and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r apostles,"Bro<strong>the</strong>rs, what shall we do?"p) Adam Clarke’s commentaryAct 2:37When <strong>the</strong>y heard this, <strong>the</strong>y were pricked in <strong>the</strong>ir heart - This powerful, intelligent, consecutive, and interestingdiscourse, supported every where by prophecies and corresponding facts, left <strong>the</strong>m without reply and withoutexcuse; and <strong>the</strong>y plainly saw <strong>the</strong>re was no hope for <strong>the</strong>m, but in <strong>the</strong> mercy <strong>of</strong> him whom <strong>the</strong>y had rejected andcrucified.What shall we do? - How shall we escape those judgments which we now see hanging over our heads?q) They did NOT argue – <strong>the</strong>y understood <strong>the</strong> problemr) Peter’s response – Acts 2:38-40Act 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one <strong>of</strong> you, in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ for <strong>the</strong>forgiveness <strong>of</strong> your sins. And you will receive <strong>the</strong> gift <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit.Act 2:39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far <strong>of</strong>f—for all whom <strong>the</strong> Lord our Godwill call."Act 2:40 With many o<strong>the</strong>r words he warned <strong>the</strong>m; and he pleaded with <strong>the</strong>m, "Save yourselves from thiscorrupt generation."Act 2:41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to <strong>the</strong>irnumber that day.s) Repent and be baptized for <strong>the</strong> forgiveness <strong>of</strong> sins!t) Adam Clarke’s commentary on this passageActs Page 18 January 23, 2011 18:07
