Peter’s First Gospel Proclamation

Posted on by

Jesus’ disciples waited in Jerusalem as He instructed them.  When the Holy Spirit came upon them, a crowd gathered (Acts 2:14-41 NET).

Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: “You men of Judea and all1 you who live in Jerusalem, know this and listen carefully to what I say.  In spite of what you think, these men are not drunk, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.  But this is what was spoken about through the prophet Joel:  ‘And in the last days it will be,’ God says, ‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.2 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.  And I will perform wonders in the sky above and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will be changed to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and glorious day3 of the Lord comes.4 And then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

“Men of Israel, listen (ἀκούσατε, a form of ἀκούω) to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds,5 wonders,6 and miraculous signs that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves7 know (οἴδατε, a form of εἴδω) – this man, who was handed over by the predetermined (ὡρισμένῃ, a form of ὁρίζω) plan (βουλῇ) and foreknowledge (προγνώσει, a form of πρόγνωσις) of God,8 you executed by nailing him to a cross at the hands9 of Gentiles.  But God raised him up, having released (λύσας, a form λύω) him from the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.  For David10 says about him, ‘I saw11 the Lord always in front of me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.  Therefore my heart was glad12 and my tongue rejoiced; my body also will live in hope, because you will not leave my soul in Hades13, nor permit your Holy One to experience (ἰδεῖν, another form of εἴδω) decay.  You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of joy with your presence.’

“Brothers, I can speak confidently to you about our forefather David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.  So then, because he was a prophet and knew (εἰδὼς, another form of εἴδω) that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants14 on his throne, David by foreseeing (προιδὼν, a form of προείδω) this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he15 was neither16 abandoned17 to Hades, nor18 did his body experience (εἶδεν, a form of ὁράω) decay.  This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses (μάρτυρες, a form of μάρτυς) of it.  So then, exalted to the right hand of God, and having received the promise (ἐπαγγελίαν, a form of ἐπαγγελία) of the Holy Spirit19 from the Father, he has poured out what you both20 see (βλέπετε, a form βλέπω) and hear (ἀκούετε, a form of ἀκούω).  For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’  Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt that God has made (ἐποίησεν, a form of ποιέω) this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.”

Now when they heard this, they were acutely distressed21 and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “What should we do (ποιήσωμεν, another form of ποιέω), brothers?”  Peter said22 to them, “Repent (μετανοήσατε, a form of μετανοέω), and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness (ἄφεσιν, a form of ἄφεσις) of your23 sins24 (ἁμαρτιῶν, a form of ἁμαρτία), and you will receive the gift (δωρεὰν) of the Holy Spirit.  For the promise (ἐπαγγελία) is for you and your children, and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”  With many other words he testified25 and exhorted them saying, “Save yourselves from this perverse generation!”  So those who accepted26 his message were baptized, and that27 day about three thousand people were added.

The Holy Spirit is Given

Luke recorded the following concerning the promised Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-13 NET):

Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all1 together2 in one place.  Suddenly a sound like a violent wind blowing came from heaven and filled (ἐπλήρωσεν, a form of πληρόω) the entire house where they were sitting.  And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on3 each one of them.  All4 of them were filled (ἐπλήσθησαν, a form of πλήθω) with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in5 Jerusalem.  When this sound occurred, a crowd (πλῆθος) gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.  Completely6 baffled, they said,7 “Aren’t8 all9 these who are speaking Galileans?  And how is it that each one of us hears them in our own native language?  Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the province of Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!”  All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, “What10 does this mean?”11  But others jeered12 at the speakers, saying, “They are drunk on new wine!”

The Holy Spirit is the ἐπαγγελία of the Father

Luke continued his written account in Acts 1:1-8 (NET):

I wrote (ἐποιησάμην, a form of ποιέω) the former account, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do (ποιεῖν, another form of ποιέω) and teach (διδάσκειν, a form of διδάσκω) until the day he was taken up to heaven, after he had given orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.  To the same apostles also, after his suffering (παθεῖν, a form of πάσχω), he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs.  He was seen by them over a forty-day period and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God.  While he was with them, he declared, “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait there for what my Father promised (ἐπαγγελίαν, a form of ἐπαγγελία), which you heard about from me.  For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

So when they had gathered together, they began to ask1 him, “Lord, is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?”  He told them, “You are not permitted to know (γνῶναι, a form of γινώσκω) the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority (ἐξουσίᾳ).  But you will receive power (δύναμιν, a form of δύναμις) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my2 witnesses (μάρτυρες, a form of μάρτυς) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts of the earth.”

More Than the Minimum

To leave the giving, receiving and power of the Holy Spirit out of the Gospel is frankly absurd.  I doubt that was Paul’s intention in his first letter to the Corinthians.  The omission is mine if I limit my view to a specific text.  Jesus, after his resurrection, said (Luke 24:44-49 NET):

“These are my1 words (λόγοι, a form of λόγος) that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses2 and the3 prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled (πληρωθῆναι, a form of πληρόω).”  Then he opened their minds (νοῦν, a form of νοῦς) so they could understand (συνιέναι, a form of συνίημι) the scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it stands written4 that the Christ would suffer (παθεῖν, a form of πάσχω) and would rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance (μετάνοιαν, a form of μετάνοια) for the forgiveness (ἄφεσιν, a form of ἄφεσις) of sins (ἁμαρτιῶν, a form of ἁμαρτία) would be proclaimed (κηρυχθῆναι, a form of κηρύσσω) in his name to all nations, beginning5 from Jerusalem.  You6 are7 witnesses (μάρτυρες, a form of μάρτυς) of these things.  And look, I am sending you what my Father promised (ἐπαγγελίαν, a form of ἐπαγγελία).  But stay in the city8 until you have been clothed (ἐνδύσησθε, a form of ἐνδύω) with power (δύναμιν, a form of δύναμις) from on high.”

Though the Greek word εὐαγγέλιον (gospel) does not appear in the passage above, the promised Holy Spirit is next in order in Jesus’ recitation of what Paul called the Gospel.  His presence in the new believers was the primary means by which the apostles recognized that the Gospel they proclaimed was received (Acts 10; 11:1-18; 15:1-11; 19:1-6 NET).

Introduction

Posted on by

This is my attempt to use the sharpness and precision of Scripture to distinguish the Gospel from what I call the religious mind.  Admittedly, the religious mind may be nothing more than a subspecies of the carnal mind (KJV) or the outlook of the flesh (NET),1 but it is and has been particularly troubling to me.  To begin let me clarify what I mean by Gospel.  The standard text is 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (NET):

Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you – unless you believed in vain.  For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received – that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day2 according to the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.  Then he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at one time, most3 of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.  Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.  Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

These historical facts are only part of the Gospel as I am using the term.  To this, at a minimum, I would add Romans 6:3-6 (NET):

Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.  For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.  We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

Here is where the Gospel begins to affect my life.  Here is where I share in the Gospel.  But just as the carnal mind or outlook of the flesh argues against the historicity of Christ’s atonement and resurrection, my religious mind debates my liberation from sin.  It fills me with fear and outright unbelief when I encounter statements like 1 John 5:18 (NET):

We know that everyone fathered by God does not sin, but God protects the one4 he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him.

But if I remain calm and think for a moment, this fear and unbelief make perfect sense.  My religious mind, as a subspecies of the carnal mind or the outlook of the flesh, feels its own weakness and fears its own demise when confronted with this Gospel (Romans 8:7 NET),

 …because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.
