3. READ: ACTS 3:17-26
[Acts 3:17] "Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. [18] But this is how God fulfilled what He had foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer. [19] Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, [20] and that He may send the Christ, Who has been appointed for you--even Jesus. [21] He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago through His holy prophets. [22] For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything He tells you. [23] Anyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among His people,' [Deuteronomy 18:15, 18, 19].
[24] "Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days. [25] And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed,' [Genesis 22:18]. [26] When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways."
