God exalted him

Posted on September 25, 2019September 26, 2019

Sep 26: Isaiah 3-6; Acts 5

‘And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” ‘ Acts 5:27-32

The Apostles of Jesus were not popular with the leaders of the time. Those leaders reminded the followers of Jesus that they didn’t want them teaching in the name of Jesus. Peter speaks for the rest saying, We must obey God. You killed Jesus but God exalted him “as Leader and Savior…” This was all done so that we might have the opportunity to repent and forgive.
