King James Version

Passage Context

³⁴For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

³⁵Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

³⁶Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁷Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

These two names of Jesus are more than just words. They are the foundation on which we can build our new lives in God's Kingdom. Jesus is the King! He rules us and is our King. He is our Leader and Instructor. Our hearts are open to Him and willing to do what He says. Jesus is the only one who has a place in our hearts and lives. Jesus is the Son of God. He is the Messiah, whom the Old Testament said would come to save the people. He is the one the prophets talked about. Jesus is God's gift to bring us home. He is the King and the Savior, the Master and the Messiah. Jesus is the one who died on the cross so that we could be forgiven, redeemed, and saved. The One who was killed is both the Lord and the Christ.

Prayer

We thank You for Your kind and selfless love as we exalt Your mighty Name, Lord. We thank You, Heavenly Father, for sending Your Son Jesus to die in our place for our transgressions and rise again to give us life and salvation. Help me, Sovereign God, to give my heart to Jesus, my Lord, and to raise my voice in adoration of the Christ who purchased my salvation. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
