More on Jesus and Peter |
|
Acts 2:36, Peter in his address to the new converts at Pentecost declares most emphatically "That God has made this Jesus . . . both Lord and Christ." This refutes the contention that Jesus and Christ are separate beings. To the contrary Christ Jesus is God's only begotten Son who in the power of His Father conveys the everlasting Truth, provided that we Christians are willing to receive His Ministry. Some Christians unfortunately wish to question Jesus' love and power by claiming that our Lord and Savior no longer lives. This contradicts much of the New Testament which speaks so eloquently of His Crucifixion and resurrection. Along with Peter, may we proclaim that Jesus is our true Lord who, in the telling words of George Fox "has come to teach His people Himself." Truly He is the Word of God.
