*DAILY DEW 1/APRIL/2025* *IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."* (Acts 2: 23-24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Peter's sermon takes a somber turn as he confronts his audience with their role in Jesus' crucifixion. He emphasizes that Jesus' death was not a random event, but rather it was part of God's predetermined plan. The phrase "determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God" highlights the sovereignty of God, even in the midst of human wickedness. Despite the gravity of their sin, Peter doesn't leave his audience without hope. He declares that God raised Jesus from the dead, loosening the pains of death. This resurrection is not just a historical event, but also a theological statement: Jesus' victory over death demonstrates His power and authority. The phrase "it was not possible that he should be holden of it" emphasizes that death had no claim on Jesus. The lesson from this verse is that God's sovereignty and humanity's sinfulness are intertwined, yet God's power and redemption ultimately triumph. Peter's message underscores the importance of acknowledging our role in Jesus' death, while also recognizing God's ultimate plan of salvation. _MEDITATION:_ *"This passage encourages believers to trust in God's sovereignty, even in the midst of adversity, and to rejoice in Jesus' victory over death."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
