But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
But here's the thing, everything God promised through all his prophets about Christ going through suffering? He actually made it happen, just like he said he would.
God keeps his promises, even the hard ones.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, written by Luke as a continuation of his Gospel, Peter is addressing a crowd in Jerusalem shortly after healing a lame man at the temple gate. He is explaining that the Old Testament prophets had long foretold the suffering of the Messiah, as part of God's sovereign plan. This occurs in the early days of the Christian church, around 30-33 AD, as the apostles proclaimed the fulfillment of Scripture through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.
