Luke 24:46-47

He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

From Background Notes [BN] for March 9^th & 10^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

In broad strokes we might say this:

 

·         Jesus became for Israel what Israel failed to be.

·         Jesus through, a renewed Israel (the 12 apostles and their communities), became for the world what Jesus became for Israel.

·         We, the people of God in our time, empowered by the Holy Spirit are called upon once more to become the instruments of God to influence our world and bring it under the holy rule of God's heavenly kingdom.  [BN, 9-10]
