Christ Is Risen! 🌞

Dedicated to Emma Kok.

(Acts X, 34 – 43)

Acts X, 40 – ‘εμφανη’ – ‘emphane’ – to appear in, to become manifest in.

The reading contains the preaching of the Apostle Peter about Jesus Christ and all the events witnessed by the apostles and many people.

The apostle begins with praise, which is common in apostolic preaching. This often distinguished the preaching of the apostles from that of the prophets. In general, we can say that the apostles testify to God’s work among people and to their evangelism, and then proclaim the joy of the coming of Jesus and the salvation that came to people through Him.

God does not look at the face (appearance) – because God continuously gifts people (cf:

), God does not look at the differences that people use to emphasise their individuality, meaning that He accepts and loves people of different nationalities.

Peter mentions that the story of Jesus is known to many, but he testifies that not everyone accepts – and what Christian faith is all about.

Here, too, Christ speaks not only of deeds, but also of the truth He has revealed.

Glory be to Thee, our God, glory be to Thee!
