Lord and Messiah ✝️👑

As Peter kept preaching, he started talking about someone every Jewish listener respected deeply: King David.

David was a hero—loved, admired, and remembered. But Peter said something bold: David was pointing forward to someone greater—Jesus.

Unlike David, Jesus didn’t stay in the grave. God raised him from the dead. He is alive and now reigning in heaven.

Peter and the other apostles had seen it with their own eyes.

He ends with this powerful line: “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
— Acts 2:36

📌 Acts 2:29–36
