Acts 2: Jesus’ Prayer is Answered

Luke’s gospel reveals that while on the cross Jesus prayed, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” (23:34).

The answer to that prayer is among the awesome revelations contained in Acts chapter two. For the very first time Peter outlines how God plans to answer the prayer of His Son and grant forgiveness to lost sinners..

We can observe in this chapter a four-step progression in experiencing God’s forgiveness. The forgiveness for which Jesus prayed.

  1. Curiosity
  2. Confirmation
  3. Conviction
  4. Conversion

Open this chapter with us as we look at the marvelous means of being the recipient of the forgiveness Jesus asked His Father to grant to humanity.
