The Word - v 26 - 31

It's Direction - 26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham,

and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

A Sacred Word - to you

A Saving Word - is the word of this salvation

A Sovereign Word - sent.

It's Dissention -

The People - 27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers,

The Problem - because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day,

The Provocation - they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

It's Division -

The Search - 28 And though they found no cause of death in him,

The Sale - yet desired they Pilate

The Sin - that he should be slain.

It's Distinction - It speaks of -

His Deity - 29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him

His Death - they took him down from the tree,

His Dignity - and laid him in a sepulchre.

It's Dominion - 30 But God raised him from the dead:

The Intervention - 30 But God

The Interaction - raised him

The Interception - from the dead:

It's Declaration -

The Watch - 31 and he was seen many days of them

The Warrant - which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem,

The Witness - who are his witnesses unto the people.

The Work - v 32 - 39

A Promised Work - 32 And we declare unto you glad tidings,

how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

A Perfected Work - 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

A Promoted Work - 34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise,

I will give you the sure mercies of David.

A Protected Work - 35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm,

Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

A Prized Work - 36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 37 but he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

A Published Work 38 Be it known unto you therefore men & brethren that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

A Perfect Work - 39 and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

The Warning - A Most

Gracious Warning - 40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you,

Guileless Warning - which is spoken of in the prophets;

Grievous Warning - 41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish:

Glorious Warning -

It's Solemnity - 41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish:

It's Sovereignty - for I work a work in your days,

It's Subtlety - a work which ye shall in no wise believe,

It's Strategy - though a man declare it unto you.
