What Does Acts 10:40 Mean?
The sermon turns on one short sentence: him God raised up the third day. What men did to Jesus, God reversed; and God shewed him openly — granted him to be seen, unmistakably alive.
The resurrection is announced as God's own act and as public fact, on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:4). Every hope the gospel offers stands on this morning: the Father's answer to the cross, death's sentence overturned, the Lord of life seen alive by those who knew him best.
