Introduction
The first time I ever talked to Jess was after she had sung at a Christmas concert the school was putting on.
I didn’t know her, just went up to say she had sang well.
I must have been very forgettable because she doesn’t remember that.
After Christmas break we started to spend time together with friends and got to know one another better.
The more I got to know her, the more I wanted to know her.
In May we started dating.
As we got to know each other better and talked and asked each other questions I fell more and more in love with her.
Knowing her increased my love.
But that knowledge had to be pursued.
It took work, time, and effort.
The better I have gotten to know my bride, the more I have come to love her.
I cannot imagine life without her.
Had we never started to spend time together and get to know one another, none of this would have been possible.

Had we never started to spend time together and get to know one another, none of this would have been possible.
Our relationship with Christ is like that.
Just hearing about Him doesn’t help us know Him.
If we are going to truly know Him and fall in love with who He is, we have to pursue that knowledge.
It takes time, effort, and work.
We have to dig into the Word of God and get on our knees in communion with Him.
However, It is as we pursue an intimate knowledge of Christ that we grown in the Christian life.
Today, we are going to learn about Christ.
Let me say again that, It is as we pursue an intimate knowledge of Christ that we grown in the Christian life.
Today, we are going to learn about Christ.
As we have mentioned, Peter’s goal in this message is to draw his listeners in and point them to his conclusion.
His conclusion is that Jesus is Lord and Christ!
Our goal this morning is to arrive at the same conclusion as Peter, Jesus is Lord and Christ!
We also want to learn how they responded to his conclusion.
Because we too have a chance to respond to who Jesus is.
We too have a chance to respond to who Jesus is.
As we learn of our Lord Jesus Christ this morning, how will we respond?
Knowing who Jesus is fuels life transformation and fruit production.
It is impossible to bring glory to Christ if we are unaware of Who He is.
We are to live to bring glory to Christ.
For that to happen, we must know Him.
With goal of gaining a greater understanding of Who Jesus is, join me in studying the Word of God this morning.
In Peter’s sermon he points his listeners to two prophesies and a person.

With goal of gaining a greater understanding of Who Jesus is, join me in studying the Word of God this morning.
In Peter’s sermon he points his listeners to two prophesies and a person.
He begins with…
1.
The Prophecy Of Joel vv.
14-21
This prophecy is introduced and stated.
Peter began his message by drawing a comparison between what Joel prophesied and what took place on Pentecost.
While Pentecost was not a fulfillment of Joel, the Holy Spirit did come and give supernatural abilities to men.
Peter moved from Joel’s prophecy to…
2. The Prophecy Of David vv.
22-36
a.
The prophecy introduced vv.
22-24
We discussed i. Jesus’ identity, ii.
Jesus’ intention v. 23, and iii.
Jesus’ resurrection v. 24.
After the introduction we have…
b.
The prophecy stated vv.
25-28
i. God’s present care vv.
25-26
David expresses God’s present care in two ways.
First he describes God our help in v. 25.
It is important to remember that Peter is talking about Jesus.
Here he directly applies David’s prophecy to Jesus.
He states that what David foretold, was about Jesus!
This is a claim for Christ fulfilling the prophecy of David.
However, it is primarily v. 27 () that Peter applies to Jesus directly.David foresaw that Christ would always be with him preventing any fear.
Scripture reveals that Christ is right now seated at the Father’s right hand.
For us as believers today this is where our confidence and boldness comes from.
It is evidence of the resurrection, ascension, and exaltation of Christ!
Since He has risen, so too will we.
The second way David expresses God’s present care is by describing God our hope in v. 26.
“Heart” is a euphemism for the entire being.
It is seen as the center of a person, the place from which ones mind, will, and emotions emanate.
God’s presence with us in our lives gives reason to rejoice! (This can be seen in ; , ; ).
This rejoicing is then expressed through our lips!
Our entire being rejoices and is glad because God is with us.
But wait, there is more!
In context, the flesh resting in hope seems to be looking forward to the resurrection of our bodies to receive glorified ones.
This hope is based on the reality of Christ’s resurrection.“Flesh” is basically the idea of our physical human bodies.
For the believer in Jesus Christ, our bodies have a settled and stedfast hope.
What is this hope?
First, we need to deal with the word hope.
Most often we use this word to express a wish or a desire.
I hope you have a good day, I hope our children behave, I hope someone gives me a million dollars.
Things like that.
The Biblical idea of hope is something entirely different.
“Hope” is the Greek word ἐλπίς (elpis) meaning hope or expectation.
A reasonable and confident expectation of a future event.
When David says that his flesh rests in hope he is expressing a settled and assured confidence in something.
That something is God’s deliverance.
As applied by Peter, this hope is the deliverance from death accomplished by the resurrection.We rejoice, we utter gladness and rest in hope.
