And this he tells them was unquestionable, as appeared by all the ways that any thing can be proved by; Christ was seen, and heard, and felt after his resurrection, as the beloved disciple tells us, 1Jo 1:1<\/span>, and manifested his victory over death for us. <\/P> <\/p>\n 40-41. showed him openly; Not to allthe people<\/B>for it was not fitting that He should subjectHimself, in His risen condition, to a second rejection in Person. <\/P> but unto witnesses chosenbefore of God . . . to us, who did eat and drink with him after herose,<\/B> c.Not the less certain, therefore, was the fact of Hisresurrection, though withholding Himself from general gaze in Hisrisen body. <\/P> he which was ordained of Godto be the Judge of quick and dead<\/B>He had before proclaimed Him”Lord of all,” for the dispensing of “peace<\/I>“to all alike now he announces Him in the same supreme lordship, forthe exercise of judgment<\/I> upon all alike.

The fact that God raised Him within three days revealed that God did not see Him as deserving of death. Rather it demonstrated that He was God’s favoured One, God’s Messiah, and that His death must therefore have been for us. Having been raised within three days death had never mastered Him.<\/p>\n So as in his previous speeches he again stresses the resurrection, and again points to those who are witnesses, thus making a twofold emphasis on witnesses (compare Act 10:39<\/span>). He points out that God made the Risen Jesus ‘openly known’ to witnesses chosen beforehand in such a way that His resurrection could not be doubted, because He ate and drank with them after rising from the dead. He had not left any doubt on the matter. And Peter had been one of them.<\/p>\n 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 40.

Openly does not mean generally, but evidently, “by many infallible proofs” (chapter 1:3). The witnesses were the apostles, who were chosen beforehand for that purpose. Having seen Jesus alive, and eaten with him and handled him, they could testify from personal knowledge that Jesus lived again after his three days and three nights in the tomb.<\/p>\n Act 10:40. Him God raised up on the third day. Here, as everywhere in the Acts of the Apostles, the Resurrection is the culminating point of the apostolic testimony concerning Jesus Christ (see, for instance, Act 2:24, Act 17:31, Act 26:23).<\/p>\n Showed him openly. Literally, gave Him to become visibly manifest.<\/p>\n 40, 41. The crowning fact of the gospel comes next in the statement. (40) “Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly, (41) not to all the people, to be witnesses chosen by God beforehand, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose from the dead.” Here Peter states, by way of commending to his hearers the evidence of the resurrection, a fact which has been so differently construed by infidels, as to be made a ground of objection to it; that is, that the witnesses were chosen for the occasion. Whether Peter or the infidels are right in judgment, depends entirely upon the grounds of the choice. If they were chosen because of a dishonest desire to prove the fact, or because of the ease with which they might be deceived into the belief of a fact which had no real existence, then it may be rightly regarded as a suspicious circumstance. But the reverse is true in both particulars. Such was the situation of the witnesses, that there was great danger both to property and person, in giving their testimony, and therefore every motive to dishonesty prompted them to keep silent rather than to testify. They were also the least likely of all the men of Israel to be deceived, because of their long familiarity with the person of him who was to be identified. Peter, then, was right; for the fact that such witnesses were chosen beforehand is proof that no deception was intended; while the fact that they “did eat and drink with him after he arose from the dead,” rendered it impossible for them to be deceived. <\/p>\n In contrast to man’s treatment of Jesus, God raised Him from the grave after three days (cf. Act 17:31). Jesus also appeared to selected individuals whom God chose to be witnesses of His resurrection. Among these was Peter, who even ate and drank with the risen Lord, proof that He really was alive.<\/p>\n "The resurrection appearances were not made to the people at large. The reason appears to have been that those who saw Jesus were constituted to act as witnesses to the many people who could not see him, and this obligation was not laid on people who were unfit for it but only on those who had been prepared by lengthy association with Jesus and by sharing his work of mission."
