Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 3:17-26

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 3:18. All His holy prophets.—Best taken as a collective phrase for the prophets as a whole. Most of the Books of the Old Testament foretell distinctly the sufferings and death of the Messiah (Hackett).Acts 3:19. That your sins may be blotted out.—According to Isaiah 53:12, Christ’s death was to be the meritorious cause of forgiveness. When the times of refreshing shall come, should be in order that times or seasons of refreshing may come. These “seasons of refreshing” have... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 3:1-26

Acts 3:0 The Lame Man Healed We are reminded by this incident: I. That there are some things more valuable than money. Peter with his gift of healing was of infinitely greater service to this lame man than if he had possessed the riches of Croesus. The moment wealth becomes an end to be sought simply for its own sake, it ceases to be a blessing. II. That fidelity is the true kindness in the end. Mark how pointedly Peter here addresses the multitude. He charges home upon them, in unmistakable... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 3:12-26

Acts 3:12-26 The speech of Peter may be regarded in four aspects: I. As showing the false method of looking at human affairs. "As though through our own power of holiness we had made this man to walk." II. As showing the true method of regarding the most extraordinary events. "God hath glorified His Son Jesus." III. As showing the only method of setting man right with God. "Repent ye therefore and be converted." IV. As showing the sublime object of Jesus Christ's Incarnation. "To bless you, in... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 3:26

Acts 3:26 Here, in few words, is the plan proposed by our heavenly Father to make us happy, a plan well worthy to be considered. I. God does not secure happiness to his people by making all of them rich. Instead of saying "Blessed are ye rich," he says, "Blessed are the poor." II. Our heavenly Father does not propose to make us happy by bestowing on us the empty honours of the world. III. God's plan for making His people happy does not consist in affording them a large share of worldly... read more

DISCOURSE: 1746HOLINESS THE GREATEST BLESSINGActs 3:26. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.THE ground on which the Jews rejected our blessed Lord was, that, in their estimation, he opposed Moses. The Apostle Peter therefore referred to Moses and the prophets, to shew that Jesus was the very person whose advent they had all predicted: and that Moses, in particular, had required them to believe in Him, as... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 3:1-26

Shall we turn to Acts, the third chapter.Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour ( Acts 3:1 ).The day started at six o'clock in the morning, sun up, so the ninth hour would be three o'clock in the afternoon. At two-thirty in the afternoon the evening sacrifices were offered. They did not go to the temple for the sacrifices. Following the sacrifices as the smoke of the sacrifice was ascending into heaven, it would be the hour of prayer and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 3:1-26

Acts 3:1 . Peter and John went into the temple at the hour of prayer. Some read, At the same time Peter and John went into the temple, intimating that this was the afternoon of the day of pentecost. Others conjecture that this miracle was wrought two or three days after the conversion of the three thousand, which is obviously supported by Acts 2:41. The same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Hence the five thousand, mentioned in Acts 4:4, may include the three... read more

Acts 3:11-26All the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.Solomon’s porchThe porch--or better, portico or cloister--was outside the temple, on the eastern side. It consisted in the Herodian Temple, of a double row of Corinthian columns, about thirty-seven feet high, and received its name as having been in part constructed, when the temple was rebuilt by Zerubbabel, with the fragments of the older edifice. The people tried to persuade Herod... read more

Acts 3:22-26For Moses truly said unto your fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you … like unto me.The promised ProphetNote--I. The appropriateness of God revealing Himself through a human being. For man is the Divine image, and hence God reveals Himself to man through a man, otherwise we could have no knowledge of God. The office of prophet is the most appropriate way of revealing God’s will. When we carry on this line of thought we are landed in the idea that an... read more
