Acts 2:28

Acts 2:28 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 2:28

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life
That is, thou hast raised me from the dead. When God raised Christ from the dead, he showed him, or made him to know experimentally the way of life, or the way of the resurrection from death to life; and this path of life, or of the resurrection to an immortal and eternal life, was first shown to Christ, who is the first fruits of them that slept, and the first begotten from the dead.

Thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance;
or glorious presence, in which is fulness of joy; which Christ, as man, is in, and fully possessed of, being exalted at the right hand of God, and crowned with glory and honour, and has all the joy that was set before him in his sufferings and death.

Acts 2:28 In-Context

26 So my heart is glad. Joy is on my tongue. My body also will be full of hope.
27 You will not leave me in the grave. You will not let your Holy One rot away.
28 You always show me the path that leads to life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you.' (Psalm 16:8-11)
29 "Brothers, you can be sure that King David died. He was buried. His tomb is still here today.
30 But David was a prophet. He knew that God had made a promise to him. He had taken an oath that someone in David's family line would be king after him.
