So What? (6 of 41)
Series: Acts
Richard Bradley
Acts 2:36-39
J. Vernon Magee often said concerning Scripture that when you see the word ''therefore'' you should see what it's there for. Therefore is a word that precedes a summary statement of all that has gone on before it. On the day of Pentecost Peter stood to talk about what had happened and the preaching of the gospel in supernatural ways.

39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.''
THIS MEANS THAT JESUS IS THE ANOINTED ONE
36 ''Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.''
Some of the people thought the disciples were drunk on the day of Pentecost. Peter reminded them that it was too early in the day for that and then gave them an even better explanation for what was taking place. Peter testified to them that the only reasonable explanation for what they were hearing and seeing was t ...
