Title: Peter's sermon on repentance (Acts 03:11-26)
Contents Peter healed a lame man by giving the name of Jesus. Then, seeing the miracle, he was preaching the gospel to the people who gathered. Here is the text, because you did not know this and he crucified Jesus. In order to repent and become a blessed nation, repent of your sins. that's what I was shouting to do. The crimes of the Jews were the result of their ignorance, and the errors of the rulers were also the result of ignorance. However, Peter was earnestly preaching that if he recognized his sin and shed tears of true repentance, changed his heart and believed in Jesus, God would forgive all sins and grant salvation.
Milton said, “Repentance is the golden key that unlocks the palace of eternity,” Devonald said, “Repentance is the second innocence.” Vicha said, “Repentance is a nickname for advancement.”
Saints, you will know that the tears of penance we shed each day of our lives are the golden keys of the nature that has been granted us. God saw David's tears of penance, who committed murder by murdering his loyal servant Uriah, and the sin of fornication of robbing another man's wife and forgave him. He saw the tears of repentance of Peter, who was caught by the little maidservant and denied Jesus three times. Since he forgave him, we should also confess our sins to the Lord right away and receive forgiveness.
1. He pointed out the sin of ignorance.
Verse 17 says, “I know, brethren, that you did it ignorantly, and that your rulers did the same.” They did not know that Jesus was crucified and put to death.
They had eyes to see Jesus, and ears to hear the words of Jesus, but their hearts were darkened.
