Following Pentecost, Peter, having been baptized into the Body of Christ, filled with the Spirit, and indwelt by God's holy presence, was empowered by God to address the men of Israel with His message. To prove that Jesus is God's Messiah, Peter used a psalm of David and cited His glorious resurrection as biblical proof. Death is inconsistent with deity since there is eternal life within Him. The sufferings of God's chosen Servant are well detailed in the Scriptures, as well as His glorious resurrection and ascension into heaven. It was prophesied by David that the coming holy One of Israel would be pierced in both hands and feet but would not be corrupted by death. Also, David witnessed to the truth that Christ would be raised up and seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high until He made His enemies His footstool. In today's world, sharing the glorious gospel of Christ is just as urgent as it was on that first day of Pentecost when Peter delivered his inspired message. The day is fast approaching when this mortal will become immortal, and this corruption will become corruption. By faith in Christ, we are given eternal life.
Dear Heavenly Father, I am delighted to be accepted into Your family by Christ. It is because of Your love for the Church that we have received Your Resurrection life and are exempt from the death sentence and the curse of the Law. I confess there are times when I forget that You have asked me to join You in sharing Your message with the lost. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, I promise to rededicate myself to being a witness for Jesus. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
