What did Peter and the eleven preach to Israel in Acts?

Peter and the eleven preached to Israel that the one they crucified was the Christ, that He was their King, that He is their King, and that He is alive and could yet come to be their King if Israel believed.

Les explains that in the book of Acts, Peter and the eleven preached to the nation of Israel that the one they had crucified was the Christ and their King. They declared that He was alive and could yet come and be their King. This appeal was tied to Israel's obedience and belief, and had Israel accepted it, the King and kingdom could have come, and Israel could have evangelized the Gentiles. But Israel rejected it in unbelief, so God instead turned to the Gentiles with the age of grace.
