Teaching Points Certainty of Jesus' LordshipBelievers are called to have unwavering confidence in Jesus' identity as both Lord and Christ. This certainty should shape our faith and witness. Responsibility and Repentance Recognizing that Jesus was crucified due to human sinfulness, we are called to repentance and transformation in light of His sacrifice. The Role of the Holy Spirit Just as the Holy Spirit empowered Peter to preach boldly, believers today are empowered to proclaim the gospel with courage and clarity. Unity in Christ The message was for "all the house of Israel," indicating that the gospel is inclusive and unifying, breaking down barriers and calling all to faith in Christ. Living Under Christ's Lordship Acknowledging Jesus as Lord means submitting every aspect of our lives to His authority, seeking to align our actions and decisions with His will.

Both Lord and Christ.--Some MSS. omit "both." The word "Lord" is used with special reference to the prophetic utterance of the Psalm thus cited. There is a rhetorical force in the very order of the words which the English can scarcely give: "that both Lord and Christ hath God made this Jesus whom ye crucified." The pronoun of the last verb is emphatic, as pointing the contrast between the way in which the Jews of Jerusalem had dealt with Jesus and the recognition which he had received from the Father. The utterance of the word "crucified" at the close, pressing home the guilt of the people on their consciences, may be thought of as, in a special manner, working the result described in the next verse. Verse 36. - Let all the house of Israel therefore for therefore let all the house of Israel, A.V. ; him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified for that same Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ, A.V., a change very much for the worse, inasmuch as the R.V. is not an English phrase, and adds nothing to the sense. Acts 2:36 crowns Peter’s sermon: on the undeniable evidence of prophecy fulfilled and resurrection witnessed, God Himself proclaims Jesus as both sovereign Lord and promised Messiah. Israel—and every hearer since—is confronted with a clear, inescapable choice: acknowledge the One we crucified yet whom God exalted, receive Him in repentance and faith, and follow the risen King whose lordship is absolute and whose salvation is certain.Parallel Commentaries ...
