What was the content of Peter's message to Israel in Acts 4?
Peter charged Israel with crucifying Jesus Christ of Nazareth, but declared God raised Him from the dead, and by Him the man stood whole. He identified Jesus as the stone the builders rejected, which became the head of the corner.
Les explains that Peter's message to Israel in Acts 4 was not a church-age message about Christ dying for their sins. Instead, Peter said to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom they crucified, and whom God raised from the dead, the man stood before them whole. Peter also identified Jesus as the stone the builders set at naught, which has become the head of the corner. Les notes Israel had killed Him, that He was who He said He was, had proven it, and God raised Him from the dead; He was still waiting in glory to return and fulfill what He had begun.
